This is my third time watching this video over the years. I just finished my big 4 internship and will finally start my studies. Thank you for a comprehensive review of your study plan.
Wow. You’re a planning beast. I work full time and I graduated almost 5 years ago and always said I’d try to get certified later but I never did it. Now I’m dusting off my brain so to speak and trying to get back into the flow of studying 🤣🤣🤣 I really like how organized you were through this process. Lord knows I need to be organized and develop strong discipline in order to achieve my goals💪🏼
This Video is AMAZING AND A LIFE SAVER!!! Honestly more than the content, I've always been so confused as to how I should I really plan my studying and how to use progress and practice tests to my advantage!! Im so so so happy ! I really hope this video turns out to be what I've been seeking for all this time and helps me pass the CPA!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Very professional and creative approach how to plan your study. i will incorporate this, thanks for the video.
This was a great video! I’m a slow reader so it takes me about three to four days to complete each chapter. I’ve passed AUD so far, waiting for my results for BEC, and am now studying FAR! Also, I love how you incorporated your prayer time and workout time.

Just keep going... continue at a pace that works for you. I remember when I was studying, I remember there were people who were getting through the homework and lecture in a day. At times I'd feel discouraged like I was moving too slow but I'd always remind myself that each of us will get to the end goal at some point as long as we each stick to our plans. Just set a plan that you know works for you and stick to it.

think u very much this was really pratical
Hey I’m currently studying for FAR while finishing my last semester in school and working. I see you went through the modules in a day or two for each chapter. Was there any concepts you had to do a more in-depth review? For example I’m rereading my textbook for the topic revenue recognition just so I am comfortable with the concept. Did you experience this?
Thank you for the video, really helpful! On the days you watched the lectures, did you watch all the lectures from the modules (8lectures/chapter) on that specific day, then do the homework problems for all 8 modules on the following day?

Hi Tiara! I used Becker.
It’s a great video Sharon. Really insightful! My one question here is : who gave you homework? I mean what were the books you studied during your preparation and wherefrom you compiled the homework questions and checked them for accuracy?
Nice presentation.
Can you make a video on how to take notes. I love your notes.
Hi, which video lectures did you refer to? Appreciate your response!!!
Also I wanted to ask you something, does it really affect your grade if you attempt AUD before FAR?? At this point I've attempted all 4 and lost credit for passing BEC and REG but lost my 18 month window, hence re-doing all 4 parts. Currently, my AUD Becker materials are going to expire soon so I wanted to do this exam first as I start my CPA journey again, so I can pass this AUD exam if I study hard yes?? Ive always heard people say to attempt FAR first but it'll end up being very costly for me to repurchase AUD so in this situation, I hope I'm making the right choice.
@SharonOnuma

Hello Priyanka! That's right... it doesn't matter what section you take first. I took FAR first because to me it was the longest section and I wanted to get it out the way first. In your scenario, it makes complete sense to get AUD out the way first since your materials expire soon. Good luck studying!! I wish you all the best!
Congratulations on passing the CPA! quick question when you went through the lectures did you also do the skills practice that is included in becker those days or did you do those on the homework days?
@SharonOnuma

When I studied, skills practice was not a thing in Becker. I recommend you squeeze it into one of your study days... lecture or homework. Just make sure you get through it before you start attempting the homework problems.

When you do your homework do you look at your notes for help or did you try not to look at your notes and memorize the answer?
Hi Sharon from where did you purchased CPA lectures from?
I like the way you take your notes. mind is messy and unorganized.
thank you for your sharing
Thank you for this video I just graduated in December and started studying immediately after! This video definitely gave me the motivation to become more consistent. I wanted to ask if the skills practice videos were part of your lecture or homework days? Also, did you only use Becker or used additional study materials as well? Thanks in advance and congrats!
@SharonOnuma

I used only Becker because I wanted focused studying and I didn't want to overwhelm myself. Becker is sufficient on its own to help you prepare and ace the exams. Regarding the skills portion, when I studied, skills practice was not a thing in Becker. I recommend you squeeze it into one of your study days... lecture or homework.

Hello! Thank you so much for your video. Its so encouraging...I have a couple of questions. I am studying for Far and starting June 1st so the calender is very helpful 1) As you were going through becker chapter by chapter, did you get lost or did not understand something which delays the study method? Did you just understand all the concepts in the first lecture?
Hi Sharon Onuma, I appreciate you for sharing your experience I am studying to take the exam can you please to help me how to get the practice exam .
Thank u❤
hi sharon. what exact lecture video were you watching for your cpa
Thank you, this will help me in my studies. I am studying for Regulations right now but I have been going over chapter 1 until I understand everything before moving on to the next chapter. I have not been doing so well with the task-based simulations (TBS) do you have any suggestions? I plan on taking the exam for REG in July 2018, although, I have not signed up as of yet.
@SharonOnuma
6 жыл бұрын
I like that you mentioned that you are going at your pace until you understand. That’s something I definitely recommend. Just take the time to really understand it and even if you don’t do well on the TBS the first time around, just look at it as an opportunity to hone your skills and improve. Best of luck!
2) When you got stuck in a concept you did not understand, who did you ask? Or was your university or college classes sufficient to go over becker faster? Please any advice will be so appreciated. I am studying for Finanacial starting June 1st yest. I took once before a while back and got a 58. I was so disappointed. Prayers really help and give strength
Amazing
This is a very detailed way to pass I wish I could do it this way and be done but I feel like I would burn out. 😩 How did you stay so motivated for so long??

Hi! When you said “watch all lectures”, I don’t get it. Could you please explain more? You would like to spend 2 days for 1 chapter. So the first day, did you watch all the modules of 1 chapter, take notes and read the lectures. Then the next day, you did all the hw?

@@SharonOnuma Thanks so much for the response. I am finding it is taking a long time to do all of the underlining, highlighting, and circling. Do you have any tips for getting through this faster? Maybe I'm trying to read too much at the same time as I am doing this. Is it better to just listen and do the mark-ups and get through it fast? Thanks for any advice you can share.
Hello, I’m studying for FAR at the top of the year. I have 2 questions. 1. When you were studying, did you complete all modules in one sitting? For example, FAR 1 has 8 individual sections. 2. My second question is, while studying everyday, did you try to master the topics or just get a general understanding of the concepts? Thank you very much!
@SharonOnuma

Hi! Thanks for watching! Yes I completed the chapter including the modules. While reading through the text, I focused my attention on the areas the instructor from the video had asked that we highlight and quickly skimmed the other areas. In terms of mastery, I won't say I mastered it immediately as I read it. It took continuous readings of my notes and doing the homework problems to master it. On my first go, my goal was just to get a conceptual understanding of most of the material before I moved on. Hope this answers your questions.
Thank you :)
Did you use/purchase the Becker flashcards? I'm studying right now for the exam and am currently making my own flashcards.

I had Becker flash cards and I didn’t use it much. I think I used it for Audit more than others.
I liked the idea of you reading the Bible in early morning.
What are hw problems? do you mean the one or two MCQs at the end of each module (Becker)?
Some difficult questions i am practicing takes time to understand. Any tips on how you tackle the difficult questions while practicing for the exam? Did you take the time to understand or skip or skim it?
Wow you're my goal!!!
