Syed I Rizvi - I hope you pass, so much work you have done. I am older and have been told it is not so important for me to get the CPA. It is different if you are young and have a whole long career before you. I am going to keep trying as long as my Becker program lasts, but I won't pay to renew it if I haven't passed the exams and it expires.

I wonder Madhavilatha, when you order your exams do you only order 1 at a time, pay the extra fee to order each time. I was told to order them all 4 at one time in order to pay the order fee only once. But of course there was not enough time in 6 months to prepare for 4 exams! Though I know two persons who did pass one after another within a 6 month period. I now realize that they were exceptional. So I was able to take AUD and BEC, but I failed them both. I am preparing to retake AUD first, so need to reorder the exam again. When you need to retake and retake it gets expensive. Do you only order one at a time?

thank you colleen Z. I will surely look in to it...how is your study going on?

I took my BEC exam today after studying for months. I used Becker and  Yeager. I am not sure, if I pass or not. It was my 4th attempt and most probably last. I am ready to move on. I have  a master in Accounting and Finance. I think, CPA is not crucial for me at this point. Any suggestions ?

can any one tell me the exact formula to calculate geometric average return?

Yes, I am using Becker and also Yeager too. I started my revision already.

I think for BEC you need to read the book more then you do problems. Becker problems I know by heart but problems from Free CPA review, I had a hard time do it. That's where I realized I need to read the several time and I can see the different after reading several times.

Hello Amina.

As of now its good. But once weekend comes its worse so I know I have to schedule it well. I am trying hard to keep up the pace...

Hello Amina

I started studying in the month of June. I am planning to give the exam at the end of Aug. Just before the window closes. I gave one reading and noted the topics where I have to put more stress. Now I am studying it in detail and throughly. Once I finish this, I will start practicing Wiley CD MCQs and SIMS. This is how I go. I know its lot but take it slowly. probably 2 modules a week.Good Luck to you too..
