Andrea Polo Lozano left a comment for Madhavilatha"Hello! For your question on BEC, you really shouldn't need any additional material if you're using Wiley/Yeager/Roger/etc. Everything should be 100% covered. At least I know I didn't need anything else to prepare for that exam (and…"
Andrea Polo Lozano commented on CPAnet's group STUDY GOAL ROLL CALL!"Taking the exam in 12.5 days and man am I starting to get worried! Just been working hard on doing the problems in the book the 3rd time, rereading some parts, rewatching a few lecture videos and doing flash cards on occasion. Must pass b/c having…"
Andrea Polo Lozano commented on CPAnet's group The FAR Group"@ Della - good luck! I take FAR in 2 weeks as well, hoping for a pass! It's my 2nd time taking it but it's my final test. Can't say I've been as awesome of a studier as one should be, but I think I got it. Wow you really whipped…"
Andrea Polo Lozano commented on CPAnet's group The FAR Group"@Shundel - if you're saying you're first cracking a book today to start studying for July/Aug I'd say no. Unless of course you're not doing anything else, if you're sitting at home each day w/ nothing on your mind (kids,…"
Andrea Polo Lozano commented on CPAnet's group STUDY GOAL ROLL CALL!"@Colleen - oh man! That sucks! But being that close I know you'll be able to pass when you retake it! Even the best sometimes stumble so keep up the good fight!
Working through the MCQ for FAR the 2nd time these past two days, phew that's…"
Andrea Polo Lozano left a comment for Kristen VL"Hey Kristen! How's it going? Haven't seen much from you lately but I'm sure that's b/c you're working hard. Like I should be right now...but I just needed a break and wasn't really thinking about Installment Sales too…"
Andrea Polo Lozano left a comment for Madhavilatha"For BEC the writing part isn't that bad, it can make or break your BEC score but I don't think it's something to fear. Just do some practice on them while studying for BEC, there is examples. Basically you either need to write in…"
Madhavilatha left a comment for Andrea Polo Lozano"thank you Andrea for your valuable advice. I am not working, but I have a 2yr old kid at home, not going to day care or anywhere. SO the time I get is 4 to 5 hrs in the night to study. Thats how I am studying for AUD now . For AUD I bought Wilye CPA…"
Andrea Polo Lozano left a comment for Madhavilatha"Oh and I prefer Roger of Yeager, but different things appeal to different people - I thought his CRAM was perfect and that's all I used for REG. I got his full for the FAR and right now I'm wishing I only got the CRAM b/c it'd be a…"
Andrea Polo Lozano left a comment for Madhavilatha"Hello, saw your comment in the FAR group figured it was easier to answer here than there:
1. FAR is hard b/c there's a ton of material and none seem to relate to the next that well. You bounce from bonds to loans to gov't to non-profit and…"
Andrea Polo Lozano commented on Tana Fuller's blog post Anticipation of Test Results"Very well written! It for sure sucks to not pass and it sucks more you were so close! I have that same feeling of dread even on ones I was sure I passed. Keep your head up and I know you can do it next time!"
Andrea Polo Lozano commented on CPAnet's group CPA Exam Bucket List"Oh and I guess I better lose some of that CPA study weight I put on as well. :)"

Finding Your CPA Nemo
There was many of time where I felt like I just wanted this testing to be over, actually most of the time. I almost gave up so many times, because the stress of not passing, that taste of failure, that hearing of your family shock and knowing you didn’t pass will drain your bank account down further and extend that time clock of when you can finally close your books and say you’re a CPA. Fail, Fail, Pass, Fail, Pass, Pass…and hopefully in May another Pass will be coming my way. Each fail I…

Crashing Disappointment
Well I knew walking out of the FAR exam I probably didn't do so well. It's not that I didn't want to do well or even thought I wasn't prepared, but when my test easily could be seen as Moderate - Difficult - Moderate was a key sign I didn't do good on that 2nd test, and then the SIMS all but about 2 of them I hoped were practice I knew was a bad sign. And I was right.
Getting my FAR score back at even a lower score than I thought pretty much made me question…

How Things Change
After a month and a half of studying, or 45 hours of Yeager videos and an additional 10 hours or more of reading plus problems – I was let go from my job. Well let go is a nice way of saying I was fired after 3 years of work. Now you’re probably thinking getting fired means I probably did something bad like steal from the company or I wasn’t very good at my job, or maybe I was studying during working hours. Well none of those applied to me. I was actually fired because I was miserable, I…

CPA Game Plan
I'm more writing this for myself than anything, but here's my CPA game plan.
Starting July 1st for the FAR exam. Since FAR is the one I'm most worried about I've given myself 13 weeks to study.
Here's how I plan to break down studying:
Weeks 1-8

2. Do portion of the MCQ
Time will be spent Monday - 4 hours (5-7pm, 8-10pm), Wednesday (5-7pm, 9-10pm), Saturday (9am-12pm or something like that),…

Thank you for your reply. But my problem is I did not study here. All my education is from India. So I am not familiar with the subject here. SO if I can information about the name and author of the book you guys use for Grad course for Cost/Managerial Accounting and Management Information systems, then I can use them as reference books. The only material I am purchasing for my study of BEC is Wiley Review Book and Wiley Test Bank CD. Can you please give me the information I have requested for ASAP

thank you Andrea for your valuable advice. I am not working, but I have a 2yr old kid at home, not going to day care or anywhere. SO the time I get is 4 to 5 hrs in the night to study. Thats how I am studying for AUD now . For AUD I bought Wilye CPA review book and WIley test bank CD. As you said after doing the MCQs in CD I feel some what confident now. And thanks for your advice once again, I will surely implement the plan you mentioned.

Hey! Thanks for the birthday wishes, it was the 21st so not too late :) the scores are being released now so I'm going to hear any day, i'm getting nervous, I hope I passed. I take BEC for the 3rd time on the 25th and I'm stressing out.
It's hard to study today since the Giants are in the Superbowl. I live only 15 minutes from Giants Stadium (Met Life) so the area is slightly hyper.
I am halfway thru the 4th lecture in becker then I have 1 more. I am going to give myself 2 weeks for review hopefully that's enough
Congrats on passing REG!!!!

Wonny Oh said… Thanks so much for sharing your experience and info! Sounds like your study schedule was really tough!! About Wiley, did you also used the test bank CD? I know everyone has different study schedules and methods but I just wanted to make sure that I'm using something that has higher percentage rate of passing the exam.
Are you still studying for other parts? or are you finally done with this long exhausting journey?
Thanks again for the great info and i'll will drop by soon to ask more questions if that's ok with you :)
