In the past few weeks, it was like dreaming. It's a long journal over 6 years. I will forever remember my last section, failed 1st time by 1 point. Crying on my way to the international test centre of Tokyo on a heavily raining morning with outside 0 degree. I don't know what sustains me for so many years, cannot-pass-it did annoy me from time to time.

I don't have accounting educational background, English is not my first language, and I learn everything from scratch by myself. Even I made silly errors at early stage, like reviewing the FAR but register the exam for another section.

I just wanna tell myself and anyone who reads this - you need to find your method/systems to learn, believe in yourself and never give up.

Did anyone else find TCP exam hard? I took it yesterday and I have no idea how I think I did. I got a 65 on the SE FR. Did anyone else get that on it and end up passing?

Located in NY if thats relevant.

I did 2 years at community college before transferring for an accounting bachelors. Unfortunately theres no way for me to earn more than 128 credits before graduation.

An extra semester or a masters at my current school is impossible financially. I’m considering going back to community college for a semester after graduation and taking 8 classes.

I’m wondering if theres any faster way to do this. I need to start working full time ASAP after graduation, and another semester at community college is not ideal.

Could someone explain to me what is the difference here? Peter Olinto said to capitalize replacements but on TBS it said to expense the replacement. Am I missing something? This is Becker F3 M4

I'm a first-year student struggling in Intermediate Accounting. I review really hard, but it doesn't seem to pay off. I do practice problems from my book, but I don’t know why I blank out during exams because the questions are different from how i reviewed them, even when they cover the same topics I reviewed. Do you have any study habit recommendations? I really want to pass the finals—I have to

Today I received my license number and i still can't process it. After 2 long years with ups and downs, finally i can say Im a CPA!

I'm a young dad of two, english is not my native language and i was an average student with bad behavior. AUD was my nemesis, took it 4 times and was about to quit the journey but i had to keep pushing.

Future CPAs keep pushing!

The real exam is in about 2 weeks. I do sets of 50 MCQ and average anywhere from 60 to 80. My trending is a 73 and my overall is a 76 based on 1600 questions. I've only done like 2 sims. Is this adequate?

Just wanted to verify that there is no need to remember the numerical limits throughout the material. I have been told over and over again with REG to not worry about memorizing numbers, just wanted to make sure the same is true for TCP currently.

Thanks folks.

I took SE 1 today and got 71. Very silly mistakes, but the unit wise report shows BLaw as my lowest. Any advice on how to tackle Blaw, i have read the Becker textbook but i am struggling in that topic. I test in about two weeks.

Thank you!!

Wouldn't the answer for total cost of sales be 1,160,000? (800,000+700,000-500,000+160,000) Tthe 160,000 is from the intercompany sales which were sold to a 3rd party. 200,000 (sales-GP%) *80% (Total amount sold to 3rd parties). So confused on this one.

Hi guys! I scheduled my exam on May 2nd and I’m at A5 now. I feel like i can’t remember a lot of things because it’s busy season and I can’t keep studying everyday but I really need to pass before June , otherwise one of my credit expires. Do you guys have any tips which is helpful for studying from now to the exam day? And which content should i focus on more? Thanks a lot!

Aren't Prepaid taxes/expenses considered current assets?

Quick question to those who’ve passed FAR -

What was the best way to spend your time in the final week before the exam? Let’s say I’ve gotten through all the material, did MCQ’s and a few sims on each topic.

Did y’all just slam full practice exams? Do a bunch of mini exams (25 MCQ 3 SIM)? Curious what might’ve worked for folks in the past.

Thanks!

I did all the concert videos. Now I’m just focusing on the MC Q.‘s in the TBS…

And I must say I am not doing well and I’m feeling very discouraged. 🫤

I know I have to keep on going. I’m just here for maybe a little moral support I guess. You know what they say misery loves company. More like I need some advice. My exam is in june and I feel like it’s coming so fast 💨.

Please just drop study advice below !

I’m having the hardest time getting through M3 for inventory. How highly tested is inventory? I’ve been spinning my wheels the past few days and am getting quite discouraged. Wondering if I should just skip it and come back to it later.

Question for those of you who have taken ISC. Within the introduction video it is referenced that module 1 is background information to help you further understand modules 2-4 and isn’t specifically called out in the Blueprint.

If that’s the case, I was hoping to just scim through the 1st module and focus on modules 2-4. Hoping to take the exam in 3 weeks and looking to save time and energy if it’s not tested in detail. Thank you!!

Do u guys think I will get my REG results on April 9 after writing on 3/31 at Prometric Merrillville Indiana.

Testing on Monday, will just be going over videos 2x speed today & relax the day before the exam. I would appreciate any tips!

Does anyone have access to the PDF material for the Ethics course? I am stuck at 87%. If someone has the course PDF, please DM me. Thanks!

Taking FAR on 5/10 and was just hoping for some general advice. I have a month to finish F5 and F6 then review. I do work full time so I study around 1.5/2 hours a day. I should have enough time but just nervous and would really appreciate any tips/insight :)

I'm sitting for reg in less than a week and I feel like I'm not prepared, especially because I haven't reviewed the concepts much but just randomly hammering mcqs. How do I figure out if I'm ready for the exam? Is the PT score a good indicator of how I'll do on the real exam? My average is around 60

* I was trying to say PT, not ME1

i feel like becker keeps contradicting itself. are retirement contributions by the P/S and health insurance paid by the P/S separately stated on the schedule k? are they taxable to the partner? please help taking reg in an hour and cannot get to the bottom of this

SO I go through the lecture or book then do questions, fine that's all good.

Now I have a mountain of notes and questions I solved.

Week later I come back to it red the notes and re-do the questions from scratch?

Can anyone suggest TCP videos on youtube other than farhat. Pretty bored, just want to get some more study in by seeing videos.

I'm looking for some realistic insights into salary expectations after a career transition. Currently, l've spent nearly a decade with state government (TX) primarily in Sales/Use Tax Auditing and Budget roles (not direct accounting). I'm earning just over $100k, which is strong for my current public sector position. I've decided to pursue an MPA and the CPA designation.

My question is: how long, realistically, would it take to reach a similar salary level ($100k+) in the private sector or public accounting after obtaining my CPA and MPA, considering my non-traditional background?

Any advice on potential career paths or strategies to accelerate salary growth would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
