Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group Passed & Ready to Help!"I started work with an MBA in Finance, and got an entry level job in financial analysis. Over time, I grew into the Controllership role, and then pursued the CPA. So my advice is to start anywhere in finance or accounting and get the…"
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group Passed & Ready to Help!"Hours per day would vary somewhat, but I would always target two hours per day Monday thru Friday (I work full time), and 8 hours per day on Saturday and Sunday. The weekends were my best study periods."
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group Passed & Ready to Help!"Best words of advice I could give is not to underestimate any of the 4 exams. Each has it's own difficulty, and has given many people frustrations. What worked for me was a quiet room, and the Wiley Online testbank. I would do…"
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group Passed & Ready to Help!"Most people, including me, recommend Audit right after FAR. You'll find some overlap in that section. Good Luck."
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group Passed & Ready to Help!"Ok, here I am, a recently licensed CPA ready to take your questions. For the two below: passing AUD required me to think like an auditor, and approach every question very carefully. I took that test twice, so I have some experience…"
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group The REG Group"I used Wiley, but I've heard good things about Gleim. The important thing is to do lots of questions from anywhere."
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group The REG Group"Passed REG....with a 75! The perfect score on my last exam. You may now call me a CPA.

Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group The REG Group"Made it through REG yesterday, but felt time constrained. Anybody else having trouble getting through this test?"
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group The REG Group"Andrea, if you've only got 4 weeks till test time, you've got to take some short cuts, but don't set your expectations for a passing score. REG has a lot of detail in it. I'm curious how a short term situation like…"
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group The REG Group"Sounds like some excellent time managment, Amy. Congrats! And you've got some strong scores to show for it. My high score so far is 87 on AUD, and just 83's on FAR and BEC.
"
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group The REG Group"Did either of you recent REG test takers have any time problems with the exam? Were you able to get thru the whole test? Finish early?"
Michael R, CPA, CGMA commented on CPAnet's group STUDY GOAL ROLL CALL!"Plan for the weekend: Get deep into the Business Law material. I want to have it done by the end of October.
