@@abdirizaq6408 Hi, I used the Becker CPA Exam study books.

Hi and thank you. You should definitely learn the basics i.e. formulas for basic adding of cells and averages. Also how to make the spreadsheet look presentable i.e. adjusting the column sizes and spacing. Then go into intermediate items like using data from rows and columns to create a pivot table and charts. Once you master that, practice harder formulas like VLookUP and SumIF. Knowing these elements will put you ahead of many others.

Practice with a mini hand held. Each prometric center is different but it will be mini or pocket size. Thanks.

Hi. I asked other CPAs which review course they used…. most all said Becker so I knew it had to be decent. Also, they are very comprehensive and offer sooooo many different things- i.e. lectures, practice tests, help videos, email help, the App to get flashcards and to download lectures. Also a final review booklet to correspond with each big book…. It is somewhat overwhelming, but you get a lot for the hefty price tag.

I also like I-75 Darius for extra help on understanding harder subjects …He is affordable.

@@accountablelivingI like Darius too. My tax professor recommended I-75. I also like Farhat. But I get sense about Becker that their lectures are just reading from the chapter. This is not what u am looking for. I need highly interesting and catchy explanations. I saw some stuff from UWorld, Roger is charming, Peter Olinto is funny and I like his explanation. I found a CPA group on Reddit, they say that the books by UW are more comprehensive and bigger, lectures are longer and more tedious. They also have bells and whistles. UW is a merger of Roger, Wiley and Peter from the others prep course. I speak to a college fellow, she hates Becker….

Hi. You don't have to like math. Your software and calculator will give you all the answers. You mainly do adding, subtracting, multiplying and division. Division comes in a lot with Ratios and KPIs. You will need to be able to "see" if the numbers look wrong or aren't adding up. These will be red flags that something was entered wrong or the item given had bad numbers. In higher positions, you will need to interpret the numbers and help others to understand them.

@@accountableliving thank you!!! how many hours do accountants usually work? what are the hours like for full time and or part time? you said the work of an accountant is usually on a computer, right? what is the type of work usually being done on a computer like

I’m a second degree/career change person. My first bachelor’s was in opera performance but I preferred the stability that came with accounting. I still love music but we all need money to live :)

Hey! We sent you an email about a paid partnership. Did you get a chance to read it yet?

Thanks so much. I have the vertical mouse and it helps a lot. My eyes are so sensitive and sometimes the chemicals they put on the lenses will irritate my eyes. I will ask the doc what exactly they use for blue light. Have a great weekend.

You are so welcome!! 😊

Thank you!

Thank you. I bought the Becker Review course and they mailed the books once I requested them. You do not get them all at once. After you pass one exam, you order your next book, as they get updated frequently.

@@accountableliving I was thinking of purchasing the Becker Review course, but we know the cost. I am still thinking of it.

Thank you. If I cannot pass the first test at my 1st time, How long can I take the test again in the gap between?

@@WeeRuechai After you receive your score- if you didn’t pass- you have to pay and request a re-take with your state office. They will send you a NTS- notice to seat. Then go onto Prometric and see what is available and pick your day. Don’t wait to long… I found the sooner the better so you don’t forget the material.

Thank you so much 😀

Hi 👋 If you don’t want to buy the full review course, you can probably buy just a Financial/FAR USED book somewhere. You will need to learn NFP and Gov Acctg main aspects. The accounts used for sure and JEs. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching 😘

OMG great idea. Thanks again for watching my friend. I love hiring and interviews and I have A LOT to say about it.🥸😻

Lol yes!! Do it. If you are watching these that means a spark inside of you is lit and you must not ignore it my friend!! 🔥

You're welcome ☺️

Hey Angie! Thanks for sharing all this useful info and your experience. Really commend your guts and sincerity! I'm trying to figure out exam planning with the 2024 CPA evolution. As you know, there are specific testing windows and longer wait times for results (2-3 months) now. NTS validity is crucial, and planning for potential retakes is key. Any advice on how to approach this? (As an example) If one was to aim for the January 2025 window- with FAR exam (being the first)? *Also, the 30-month window rule does not apply here; it's back to 18 months. If this is good for a video, great! If not, a quick example would be super helpful when time permits you. Thanks in accrual😅 Cheers!

@@vishalkurien1982 thanks so much!!!

Good vibes to you!! Stay positive and your hard work will pay off!😊

hi. At first, I did way too much. It takes way too much time to do all the questions and sims and practice tests on the Becker Review. Do enough to feel comfortable with the question styles and any areas you need extra practice on. I will have a video up this week to explain more of what I did. Thanks and you can do it. 😁

Hi!! Thanks for watching. You can be an accountant without passing the cpa exam. You can’t be “labeled “ a Certified Public Accountant unless passing and working under a CPA for at least a year. In order to sit for the exams, you have to have 150 semester hours (Bachelors degree plus Another year in most states). It is a lot. Makes sense to get a Masters Degree. I have a MBA. All of it is very expensive. Takes dedication and time but it pays off. Good luck in Nursing and thank you!!!

You're welcome ☺️

Glad you enjoyed! 🥰

You're so welcome! 😁

You just made my day. xoxoxo

Glad it was helpful!

You can do it!

Hi. I have never used them. If you already bought Becker, I would supplement with free resources like you tube.. i75 has great free videos.

dont give up. Keep going.

you can do it!!

Yes, I will do another video soon. We cannot remember everything- that is true. Just try to learn the concepts and don’t get overwhelmed with all the details.
