FAR Lectures Without Notes

Roxanne is asking if her study plan of watching Becker lectures without taking notes, reading the Ninja book, using Becker for MCQs and SIMs, and using Becker final review is sufficient to pass the FAR exam. Jeff's response suggests that this study plan is sufficient but recommends a few changes, such as taking notes during the Becker lectures or rewriting the NINJA Notes, using the NINJA book only for difficult sections, and switching to NINJA MCQs for practice questions. His response also recommends using NINJA Audio and Notes for studying and watching the Becker final review or NINJA Cram depending on which lectures were used to understand the concepts.

Passing the CPA Exam Without an Accounting Degree

Danielle asks for advice on passing the CPA Exam without an accounting degree or background. Jeff answers that the bachelor's degree does not matter as much as the CPA Review Course. It is important to choose a Review Course that breaks down the material and offers teaching aspects. His answer also recommends trying free trials of Review Courses before purchasing them. Jeff concludes by recommending a normal study timeline, which is typically seven weeks, but can be extended to eight weeks for non-traditional candidates.

Studying AUD During Busy Season

The question is from Alex, a first-generation college student and a 2020 graduate who is having trouble passing the CPA Exam. Alex has passed the BEC and Regulation sections but failed the auditing section. On top of this their FAR score expired. Alex wants advice on how to pass FAR and AUD during the upcoming busy season, which can be hectic for them because they work in tax accounting. Jeff advises Alex to study 20 hours a week during busy season, wake up an hour and 15 minutes earlier than usual, and take notes during Becker lectures, practice with NINJA MCQ, rewrite NINJA notes, and watch Ninja Cram.

Passing FAR After Scoring a 32

Ronnie is seeking advice on how to pass the FAR section of the CPA Exam after failing twice. They have watched Roger CPA review lectures and used their MCQ, but struggled with remembering concepts and have an issue with their attention span. They also purchased a NINJA subscription but only used the NINJA Notes and NINJA audio. The advice given is to go back through the Roger lectures and take detailed notes, use the NINJA MCQ, and rewrite their notes. Jeff advises that they should utilize the NINJA Cram as a review before the exam. Before that, though, Jeff recommends reading NINJA notes from day one, listening to the NINJA Audio, and using the Roger test bank for simulations. Finally, they are advised to take notes to help with remembering and staying focused.

"I take BEC in three weeks and need help comprehending the application of the CPA Exam concepts. I recently took BEC and scored 62. I did well in the Economics portion but struggled with Internal Control, COSO principles, Financial management, and IT. Is there a way to better comprehend the material? I am going through the notes, and sometimes it makes sense, then sometimes, I have no idea what the question is asking. Currently, I have Roger CPA Review and Ninja. I did all of the modules for Roger CPA. I review my notes for each section, but I am just memorizing information, not comprehending it. I am getting started with NINJA, and I wish the notes and lectures fit better with the MCQs. Some MCQ topics aren't heavily covered in the lectures and are sometimes very lightly touched on in the notes."

"I have been studying for a few weeks and struggling to figure out the best study method to pass the CPA Exam with NINJA Only. Should I read the NINJA book first, watching a NINJA Sparring session? Could you recommend a study plan for me so that I can take my FAR exam in 4 weeks?"

Ninja? Some of the sections in Roger CPA Review don't line up with Ninja. I am reading the Ninja book first, then reading the Roger book and taking notes if things need to be clarified and better explained in either book. I am then reading the Ninja notes. The Ninja notes help me understand what I read from Ninja, but the sections are different in Roger. Is there a more efficient method that I should use with both CPA Review programs to maximize my study sessions?"
