Intro Music: "Free" - Mitch Langley

Ruijing - What is your opinion on the breakdown of how much time to spend on the multiple-choice testlets and simulations for each section of the CPA Exam?

 

Lee - I got a 65 on my first attempt at AUD. I’m very disappointed because I thought I knew the information. Where do I go from here?

 

Lisa - I have taken AUD three times now. I don’t feel like I have time to rewrite the notes like I have on other sections. Do you have any advice for me?

 

Angela - REG is the last section I need to pass, but I have failed it three times now. Do you think a personal tutor would help me?

 

Samantha - I failed REG for the fourth time. My plan is to do more questions, take more notes, and focus on a few more areas. Is there anything else I should do?

 

Dury - I just graduated from college. My GPA wasn’t very good, and I have poor credit due to some large debts. Will these factors affect my chance of getting a job with a Big 4 company?

 

Richard - I have passed the CPA Exam, but I do not have enough hours working for a CPA to obtain my license. I do not want to take a pay cut to work for a CPA firm. Do you have any suggestions for what I can do?

 

Mary - Can you give me some insight on how the FAR simulations are graded?

 

Pam - If I take a governmental accounting job, will I only be able to take jobs in the government sector in the future? How marketable will I be if I move out of public accounting?

 

Carlos - Do candidates receive a score analysis if they receive a 75 or above on an exam?

 

Lauren - How long should I study for each section?

 

Brandon - I have passed all four sections, but my supervisors are all inactive CPAs. Do you have any ideas how to get my work experience requirement?
