Make your own notes: I studied CPA FAR Exam in a sequence i.e. lectures/ Skill practice videos/MCQs / & SIM. I took screenshots of skill videos which I thought were important but there aren’t sufficient materials. I took down notes especially for tricky or new concepts from MCQs and SIMs. Also revised chapters that were completed previously / modules in the next few days. Took notes where I felt I was weak. Then did PRS for the first chapter and then continued with cumulative as and when I progressed. I also watched Mr. Sripal’s and Suraj’s recorded Videos wherever I felt I needed to. I usually googled when I wanted to understand something in detail. I revised materials at least twice along with most of the CPA FAR Exam MCQs / SIMs. For a few chapters/modules, I did the same revision thrice. I was going through my notes in between to keep the concepts fresh in my mind. Initially, I made handwritten notes but later, I started making notes in softcopies, which were around 60 pages, including screenshots of skill videos. I have a habit of noting down the MCQ nos., which I feel are important and which I need to revisit during my review. Just before two days of my test, I read my soft copy of my notes. This was kind of a summary of the books in my mind.

US CPA Exam A little caveat to begin with – I won’t call this a ‘tip’ or a ‘success mantra’ for passing your exams. All I am doing is giving my wisdom and hence a few or all of my exam strategies might or might not work for you. If you feel like some of these strategies are not suitable for you then stick to your belief and don’t get demotivated or inundated after reading this.

CPA-FAR Section: Remember that everyone has different learning capabilities based on their retention capacity, their best time of day to study, past education, working experience. Keep note of all of these when you plan your studies.

It took about 2 months for me to complete my entire CPA-BEC Exam including initial studies and revision. I am a full time student. My target used to be to complete at least two chapters within a week averaging two to three modules per day with Becker exercises.

Akshay's Plan of Pain to Gain

Regulation was not an easy section for Indian students, as every concept is completely new and takes time to understand.

All my study experience can relate to a working professional who completed studies quite a few years ago and working in corporate 5 days a week, still has a goal to do CPA along with a full-time job.

Before starting with my strategy, I would like to emphasize on the fact that I completed my MBA back in 2012 and after which I never appeared for the exams. So, when I first thought of starting CPA, it was tough for me to digest the idea of studying and appearing for exams while working full time. I made a goal of completing Regulation first as I had experience with US taxation. After clearing the Regulation, I chose Audit, but since I never studied Audit before, and I also found it quite heavy because of which I took time in understanding concepts.

I’m Sorujit, CPA-REG Exam First all thanks to Suri mam and Simandhar Education and special mention for Surya, Sumit , Bobby and Sripal sir for their constant support. To give a brief about myself cleared CA inter and CMA inter back in 2013 and 2014 respectively and post that attempted CA finals a numerous times failed but was heart broken when I failed bringing I think 197. My last CA final attempt was Nov 2018.

inancial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) is most probably the biggest and the most difficult section of US CPA for many test-takers and I was not an exception to it. By planning perfectly, one can complete it relatively in an easier way, than what they think. It is advised to have a good command of accounting basics, as most of the FAR will be focused on basics and Journal Entries.

The first thing I would like to suggest is to develop an interest in the course, have a consistent study schedule, and follow it without fail. Then anyone can complete this course irrespective of your earlier qualifications or past work experience provided they are determined and extremely focused.
