Michael commented on CPAnet's group The FAR Group"You're next FAR! Just bought my Yaeger FAR homestudy course. Plan to sit late July/Early August. I will start studying soon! Hope everyone has a great day and best of luck to those studying for the April May window!"
Michael posted a status"I'm Back! After another never-ending tax season, i'll be studying for FAR this summer."
Michael commented on CPAnet's group The BEC Group"@Anna - I used Yaeger as well. It still felt like a very hard test, I feel I got lucky. The strange thing is, when I got the 74, I though I passed, and this time around I definitely thought I failed. I do exactly what Yaeger said,…"

@Anna - it was my 3rd go, just turn it into positive energy and I know you can get it next time. I…"
Michael commented on CPAnet's group The BEC Group"@ Anna - I had no idea, when they ask you on the exam if you "made use of the AICPA web site practice exam" I thought they were asking because it was useful. 5 questions is a joke, thanks for the info
@ jessica - sorry i just…"
Michael commented on CPAnet's group The BEC Group"@ Anna - I feel exactly the same. Not a high concentration on any area in particular. Just very strange wording on the COSO questions - as I understood the definition and most of the framework for ERM and Internal Control - I still…"

Astrid Jaime said… Hi.... Well, I am behind. If I loose pace is really difficult to find my way back to the books. These Bonds are taking me forever, they took so long with Yaeger. Anyway I'm trying to take it the last week of August. If I can't then I'll take it first day in October. Is not right to let a lot of time pass otherwise you'll begin to forget what you have already studied and I don't have time for that.
Enjoy your days off, take some rest, have fun and forget a little all this study madness. You took REG these days, right??? How did it go?? Hope it went well, wish you the best!!! Take care!!!

Jessica said… - Yes I totally understand the days where you want to do nothing, I am having one of those days today. But I know we must keep at it, because as you said, it will be worth it in the end! As far as REG goes, I had to move my test date back a day to July 8th, so that I could try to fit in a final review cram for FAR on July 9th. This is definitely like nothing I have ever done before:) But I wish you all the luck on your upcoming exams!!!

- Hi Michael, I did exactly what Phil said in the video. Read the things that he pointed out and did the multiple choice that he pointed out in his lecture. My way of study is to review the material from the handout/textbook before doing the MCQs, and for the MCQs that I got wrong, I'd review the material again to find out why I got them wrong, what my problem was, etc. And I did the MCQs all over again until I got them all correct. But as what Phil said, what he pointed out in the lectures are enough for the exam :) Hope that helps!

- Hi Michael, I am using Becker's Live Course to study, I also attended the Becker Final Review. How is your prep coming along?

Heather M. Nestorick said… - I tried to go alone for many attempts and never even made it to scheduling. The Becker is really keeping me on track. On the longer lectures though my short attention span gets the better of me and I have to pause and walk around.

- I really like it. I need some structure. I cant attend live classes either but the online course gives you the feeling a class.

Michael,
I am doing the Becker Online Class. Its self study but they have broken it into modules with homework and discussions. I am a procrastinator and this helps me keep on track.

Janet Agustin said… - Hi Michael, looks like we are in the same situation. I just started my study program and I'm scheduled for early August. I'm using CPAExcel, but I may do a quick live crash course mid July ... not sure with who :) Good luck!
