Passed all 4 in 6 months. My big take away was that getting that mental endurance and discipline was crucial. Gaming is one of my hobbies and I was studying off of my gaming pc and it was so tempting to start gaming with the boys but you gotta remember you are dropping 4 figures to take these exams

Congratulations! How did you schedule time to play video games? Did you tell your self, “once I study for 4 hours straight and no distractions, I will play for 1 hour today?” That’s something I’m doing right now as a way to reward myself

Thank you for this. This was the best review method I’ve seen so far….and I’ve been researching this for months. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I truly appreciate it. ❤️

I passed FAR in 4 weeks using this method. Thank you!

So glad I found this when I did! I've been studying for BEC for about a month now and I have been struggling to find a studying method/process that works for me. I love the way that you have everything set up and can't wait to get started studying.

When you said... or just the knowledge of it all... that was EVERYTHING!!! Focus on the learning and passing will come!

I am considering studying for the CPA Exam AGAIN, and this video really helped me. Then, I read the verse and it sent me over the top. Thank you for the encouragement. I needed this.

Fantastic practical study tips in here. One thing that really helped me was setting practical test dates for my availability and using the Becker study plan to break down the CPA tests down by individual module. My biggest problem before was being completely overwhelmed by the amount of material. Visualizing how I was going to tackle the exam helped me calm down and realize it was totally doable.

You have a very calm voice! Thanks for the tips!

@michaelhumphrey4567

Yes, I was referring to the mock exams. Becker recently changed the names on all those. Then each week I would create two practice tests to keep reviewing and adding the material together. My philosophy is the more you review during, the more you’ll understand, the better you’ll perform, and less you review at the end.

See the thing I didn't do was ignore the small detailed things, I wanted to learn EVERYTHING because I didn't want to get thrown curveballs, and they messed me up because it took forever for me to understand stuff and I felt like I wasn't learning. Good video! Subbed! I just took audit and I'm not feeling too good about it, but thanks for the tips. :)

This is an outstanding and very helpful video. I am on the verge of trying to finally get back to studying and get the CPA done, finally, and I was looking for something that would outline a study method or protocol that I could follow. Your video is one of the few that I've found that does this! I have not yet started and am working on a plan that finally see me through this monster of an exam (four of them) successfully. How do you recommend modifying things for someone (like me) who works full-time (50+ hours most weeks)? Should I aim for 1.5 sections per week, maybe? Love the Bible verse you gave at the end, too. I'm going to write that down so I can see it at the start of every study session.

@michaelhumphrey4567

That’s what I was going for. I hope it helps! I would shoot for 1 section a week with that amount of work, anything above that would be great.

Hi Michael, Thanks for making this video! I was a hard time managing how to study and retain all the topics in FAR so this really helped me visualize a game plan for me to approach it in a different way. I was constantly getting hung up on small details too! Did you find listening to the Becker lectures a lot more helpful than reading the book by itself? I know they bring up many useful mnemonics but I found the lectures to be a hit or miss depending on the instructor assigned for the section. I like the mnemonics they use but sometimes the lectures felt more distracting because I couldn't take notes while they were talking.

Hi -- Thank you for your video. I have been out of school many years and I too am following your approach: notes, condense and review. Looking at comments on other sites -- people have compared the SIMS on Becker to the actual test and have said that the SIMS were way easier on Becker. Would you say this to be true? Or did you find that the Becker SIMS were comparable to the actual test in the look and complexity? Honestly -- I was having enough of a hard time with Becker -- if those are easy ....

Thank you for your video. I have a question if you could please answer what you think I should do. I am am going part-time for the summer (30 hours a week) at my public firm to get more studying in before audit season. I have failed FAR twice, and I want to pass this time, and I am scared that I won't have the concepts down and/or mesmerize answers if I try to rush and get two sections a week, but I feel myself losing what I just learned. I am implementing reviewing every week and I have done this for two weeks now. I don't know if I should push to cover more, since I see my scores are low in prior sections or should I move on and review those topics later?

Loving this video! Thank you so much Michael! I’ll be starting with FAR soon and I’ll attempt to use your method:) Question, did you use the hard books at all? I’m thinking about going through the lectures, write down the instructor’s annotations and notes (also making my own notes along the way), but I’m thinking this method is kinda time consuming, cause sometimes I’d have to read the whole page on my own since they only focus and underline specific paragraphs. I’m just confused when it comes to this, would love to hear your thoughts, have an awesome day Michael, CPA:)

Update: I used his methods to cram for all 4 exams. My study time was less than 1 month in total, and I got a 75, 81, 82, and 84 on AUD, REG, BEC, and FAR, respectively. I studied for 10 days for FAR, 5 days for BEC, 3 days for REG (because I'm a tax professional), and 6 days for AUD. Thanks again, Michael! Needless to say, you certainly changed my life.

Hi Michael, I really have enjoyed watching your video. Congratulations on getting this over with and moving on. Thanks to your advise, I want to try to take these exams and do each one within a 6 to 8 week window. I am going to follow the strategy about reviewing everything, but instead of Saturdays I am going to do it Sundays. Here is a question for you. How much of a believer are you in not taking a day off? In my original CPA plan I wanted to take 3 months and a half on the first part and take Fridays off to really learn the material, but your process is fast and efficient. Also, about how many hours did you study per day during the week? I work full time and I am.shooting between 3 and 4 don't know if that will work out, but hopefully it does. The other thing I am going to follow is instead of reviewing for 2 weeks, I will stick it with 1 week although I may add a day or two more of reviewing and a practice exam. Oh and another question. Ok, you mention reviewing notes everyday. Does this happen at the end of the study session? Its going to be interesting to lay this all out in my case. In my course, REG is 6 chapters. I may be able to pull off most chapters 1 week each maybe with one chapter I will do 2. I know Becker is 8, but all the providers are different. Thank you for your motivation to all the viewers. I will try my best to follow your method as much as I can. The only slight difference is that I'll do a couple more weeks than you did. I am.shooting for 7 total, I am starting out with REG because that is the one part where its all unrelated to the others and then moving on to FAR. Then finally, the review course is different, but I am sure that I can do your method. Lastly, did you ever consider doing a supplemental test bank from a competitor of Becker's? If not, would you recommend it or it all depends on the candidate in your opinion? Thank you again.

@michaelhumphrey4567

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Raul thanks for reaching out. It may sound crazy but I don’t recommend taking lots of days off. I took 4 days off in 4 months. Sometimes they really are necessary, but not a regular part of what I did. Of course some weekend days I might review for only 1-3 hours, but I rarely took a whole day off. I also wasn’t working FT though, so taking Fridays off sounds very fair and reasonable in your case. At first, I studied around 6-8 hours on days I wasn’t working. But I built up to around 10-12 with Saturdays and Sunday’s generally lighter, until the end. When I was in the thick of working and studying, most days I started studying at 6:45 am and ended at 9 pm. With work, eating, and working out in between. I do not recommend taking 3 months on one section, if possible. You’ll spend way more time reviewing than actually going through the material, and you will absolutely forget stuff you’ve gone through. 3-4 hours while working is great. If able, do some before work so you’re fresh. Try to hit at least a section a week with constant review included. It’s not fun, so you don’t want this prolonged. Yes. I reviewed everyday after a break from the study session. This allows you to take a step back, cement the ideas, and see the bigger picture again and what matters. It doesn’t take long and you can sleep on the ideas and learn them. I never considered a supplemental test bank. Becker already has way too many questions that waste time, although I did do them all. Hope this helps.

Hi Michael, Thank you for your response. I plan on following your advises. My slight concern that I am having is how to implement 2 of the review courses that I have. I didn't go with Becker because they don't teach with the white board which I learn best. The downfall of the one which I learn best is that they aren't believers in multiple choice while there is another one which is but isnt good at teaching. I have thought about doing an hr each day of questions with this one that has a larger test bank, then I think that maybe doing lectures in the morning and then questions at night with other course could work out better, and finally i have also thought of doing 1 of them for just a couple of hours in the weekend. If I feel that it doesn't work I will just focus on one and see what happens. Regardless, I plan in following your game plan. Hopefully I can get started this weekend. If you can think of an idea that I can do in my case, please let me know and I can consider it. Will appreciate.

First two weeks - All video lectures, then: Monday thru Friday- 20 MCQs before work (done by 6 AM) 20 MCQs after work (try to be done before 11 PM) Take notes on any you get wrong. It's not much but you don't have any time to do more. Saturday/Sunday 100 MCQs or swap 20 MCQs for a Sim No less than 5.5 hours Do this for as long as it takes to exhaust your test bank/sims, if you get to the point you just have the answers memorized you went too far. MCQs - do every one in your test bank, then re-do all the ones you get wrong, then re-do all the ones you get wrong twice and go back and study those topics. Make notes on things you keep getting wrong, keep them concise as possible. Then do practice exams for 2 weeks. The last week is all reviewing notes, lectures, reading and videos on sections where you know you're not as good. Any old time - copy the book, at least important sections. There's a lot of stuff you just have to memorize and writing it on paper with a pen is the best way. Extremely tedious but very effective. Strongly agree you have to review what you've already done, you need to track how you perform on different topics (the software can help with this) and drill yourself where you're not doing well. Also, Becker was too damn overwhelming. I switched to Yaegar and supplemented it with Ninja, Farhat lectures and sometimes a Gleim book. Mostly, don't do it after you have been out of school for 11 years like I did lol... would have been much better if I were a recent grad.

Dear Michael, Thank you so much. I have a small question, I’m an average person, not a genius. Can I expect passing the exam if I study Becker very well. My question, can I expect familiar questions in the real CPA exam compared to those practice tests provided by Becker?

Such a great video! Compress and review, repeat. Wish you had a full time employee version lol

Thank you very much and I understand! If I was working full time, I’d try to do a least a section a week. I would also review more often since it cannot be compressed as much. Easier said than done for sure!

Hi Michael! Congrats! I really like your video. do you usually do M/C after each module or do it all after you finish one section?

I attempted all multiple choice after each module, and whichever ones I missed I would go back and finish after the entire section.

Yes that’s correct. If I missed a question I left it and I went back at the end of the section and made sure I got it right for each module.

Any tips for sims? I feel like I am struggling on sims more than anything else because I find the application to be challenging

Can you make a video for 2021 cpa exam preparation?

Hey Michael, Thanks for the lovely video. Is 36 mths experience compulsory to become CPA. I have 3 yrs of experience as manager in hospitality does it count as experience?

I like the hard work you put in. But my assumption is that you were not working a full-time job using this preparation method. How many weeks using your method do you think it would take if you worked at least part time?
