Passed REG!

kelkel — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:11:06 +0000

I finally got the notice of my REG score! I passed! I guess that just goes to show that it’s true what they say about how you can feel like you’ve failed when you did just fine.

On the other hand, the online score checking option definitely didn’t work for me. I don’t know why, or if I should contact anyone, or if it’ll work for the next two sections because I scheduled those with a different NTS. Mysterious.

Anyway, good luck for anyone studying for the CPA exam now, or waiting for your scores! If you put in the study hours, and study the right material (which Roger is great at pulling out for you) you’ll do great!

REG Scores Released

kelkel — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:04:55 +0000

The first wave of REG scores for my testing window were released online today. I can’t access my score online, so I might be in Wave 2. Or my online access might not work, because I was never able to log in for FAR either.

Fingers crossed. Either way, I should be hearing soon. soonish. hopefully.

REG – Now we wait

kelkel — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:34:53 +0000

Edit: I’m studying for my tax exam tomorrow, and I’m feeling even less confident about REG now. I wish I had studied for my tax exam before taking REG! The topics I’m studying now are reminding me a lot of the questions that were on my exam…

So, taking REG is over with. After all those hours of studying, it came down to a couple of hours of questions. I don’t feel very good about the multiple choice, but I think that the simulations went okay. According to Another71′s score release predictions, I might just be in the first wave of scores released around November 17th.

So, in total I spent about 87 hours studying for REG, and I felt pretty unprepared going in. I would’ve liked to have been able to practice the multiple choice several more times. REG felt like a collection of random factoids I had to memorize, so I would forget the first bits of information by the time I got to the end. Roger’s mnemonic devices really helped out – if I have to do it again, I’m going to spend a lot more time learning all of those.

Now I get to start studying for the Audit section of the CPA exam. I’ve switched my REG books out for my AUD Roger books. Starting the review for a new CPA section is always a little exciting, because I can plan how much more I’m going to study for this section than for the last!

Hopefully I can have a smoother graph than the one for REG – lots of hours in the beginning AND in the end. Also, I have a week off for Thanksgiving, so I plan to fit in as many hours as possible that week.

Looking ahead to BEC

kelkel — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:17:03 +0000

This has been an exciting week for me at work so far, but pretty stressful on the CPA front. I’m going to tackle a practice exam now, but I thought this was a nice run-down of the BEC section of the exam from Roger CPA Review.

When I signed up for the CPA exam, I had no idea what to expect. After studying for the last few months, I now know what the FAR (Financial Accounting and Reporting) section covers, but I still don’t know very much about the other sections.

I like Roger‘s overview, because it’s quick, but tells me what I should expect when I start to study for that exam. I can’t wait to be done with CPA review for FAR and move on to REG!
