- Do you have an exam coming up? Watch this video to learn what to do to prepare yourself. We’ve learned how to study for and pass the exam, and studied so hard for many weeks, but if we aren’t well-prepared for the exam, it will be difficult to pass. So, in this video, I shared what I did from a few days before the exam to prepare myself, and what I did during the exam to ensure I stay calm and get good scores. I hope you find this helpful.
I passed all 4 sections of CPA exam in just 2 months with the average score of 89, at the age of 49. And I wanted to share how I achieved it, so I can help people pass the exams too.
Below are the scores by section:
- FAR: 90 Jan 22, 2022
- BEC: 90 Feb 14, 2022
- AUD: 88 Mar 9, 2022
- REG: 88 Mar 30, 2022
(2 months & a week from the 1st section, 4 months including study time for the 1st section)
I plan on sharing more videos that can be helpful for CPA candidates, so please subscribe ;-)

Thanks much for your tips! Found a lot of info in Internet on how difficult and challenging CPA exams are with a very high fail rates, which makes you feel demotivated to even start this process, especially when you have a family and a full time job and you gonna scarify a lot to get prepared for CPA. I watched all your videos, and now feel more confident and feel like I have a plan when and how to start my CPA journey.
Thank you for your comments! That's great that my videos helped you get motivated. CPA is definitely something that can help people in many ways, so enjoy studying and good luck!
GOOD INFO!!!! question. are the MCQ from roger and ninja same as the BEC exam ?
Thank you for your comments and question. I believe some are from past exams, and some are made by them.
Hello, your content is great & really helpful. Can you please make a dedicated video on How to prepare for the Audit paper of CPA.... Like from start to end what should be the exact strategy to nail it. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your comment! I will get to that soon. Right now, I'm actually working on REG, so I will do AUD after that. Give me about a week or so. Thank you!
I just published AUD video. I hope it's helpful, but please let me know if you have any question :)
Can I ask:
1) do the Prometric give us as many scratch paper 📝 as we ask for or just 1 piece at the beginning of the exam.
I’m so manually so I like to write things down especially for sim and even some calculation while doing mcq. I do hear that excel is build in with the exam but sometimes I just need to handwriting things to figure out the problem.
2) I know that they grade grammar and spelling. So I want to ask if the exam software have spelling check build in that it can recognize incorrect spelling words and underline in red for us just like Microsoft Word and Excel do?
Thank you!
Thank you for your questions. 1) they give us one piece of scratch paper at a time. If you use up the first one and need another one, then you need to raise your hand and they will give you one. 2) I'm sorry, but I don't remember. You are probably talking about the Written Communications in BEC, but I believe what's really important is how many key words you can put in, and make sure you don't misspell the key words. For other stuff, I believe small misspells wouldn't hurt your score, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll let you know if I hear otherwise.
Thank you !🙏!
That was an awesome video, I like it, very timely, I am taking the exam soon.
May I ask one thing, how did you deal with the call of nature (need to pee while you are in the middle of answering the testlet)..
Thank you for your comment and question. Luckily, I didn't have that issue. I made sure to go to the bathroom before the exam and during the break between testlet 3 and 4, so I was ok. Also, I talked about this in my first video, but I took the mock exam at the same time of the day as the actual exam and set the room temperature the same as Prometric to make sure I feel physically ok, that might have helped.
Que tal Sr. Azúcar , ya me puse al corriente con sus videos, este último no lo entendí, pero los demás con sus consejos si.
Muchas gracias por ver mis vídeos. Y lo siento, este es muy específico para el examen de CPA. Pero me alegro que los demás fueron útiles :)
im preparing for BEC exam, Your videos are really inspiring. Thank You
Thank you for your comment! I will make a video for BEC soon. I will be after FAR, but I hope I can make it in time for you :)
These are some good tips, Thanks!
Thank you for your comment! And good luck on your exams!
Thank you for your videos.
They are straight to the point and easy to understand/follow.
Do the prometric give us 2 screens (1 for the exam + 1 for the excel spreadsheet?)
Can you also share when should be a good time to schedule for the test during the testing window? Like at the end so we can get the score release soon?
Thank you!
Thank you for your comment & questions! You only get 1 screen, but it's big enough to show both exam and Excel in 1. You can open all exhibits in DRS questions too. As for the scheduling, I should've talked about that, but it's better to be close to the end of the window, but avoid the last day because sometimes your score release gets pushed back to the following score release date. So, a few days before the end date would be the best.
Thank you for the information!
Can you let me know what is DRS? I just started the first 3 modules and don’t know what that is.
Sure, DRS is Document Review Simulation, and it is a simulation question which has a few documents attached like email, voucher, invoice, letter, and you have to read them to be able to answer the question. It usually takes long to answer, but on the other hand, you can find some answers in the documents, so if you practice and get used to it, it's not too bad.
Thank you very much for the details. They are very helpful!!
You're welcome! Let me know anytime if you have any questions!
I'm waiting for this new video. Thank you for all the help
Thank you for your comment again. I believe you were most interested in how I studied for REG. I may prioritize that then, but pls give me some time.
@@sugarcpaus2091 That would be great. Thanks! Mainly you give me inspiration to continue. I'm already 36 and will be coming from the Caribbean to the US. I'm originally from the Philippines and it has been a decade since the last time I attended a university. Reg is new to me as I don't have a US education.
No worries. I was out of school for more than 2 decades ;-) Yes, REG is a different animal, so I will try to cover that point in the next video :)
I just published a video on REG, so please check it out and let me know if it's helpful at all :)
@@sugarcpaus2091 Awesome! Thank you!
can you share the note you made
I can share 1 page as a sample.
were you working full time?
No, I'm kind of semi-retired, and only worked around 30hrs a week at the time.
@@sugarcpaus2091 interesting. Maybe you can do a video on how you semi retired so early then…
And what you plan to do now that you have a CPA
Thanks, but it's not a fancy story, and I'm not like super rich. It's just a little bit of everything like saving from salary and stock options, some investments in stocks and mutual funds, little bit of crypto, so on so forth. I just got enough to survive the rest of my life doing a little bit of what I like. CPA was something I wanted to do to finish my career with, so I don't have a plan to do much with it. Maybe take a few spot consulting jobs here and there when my friends need me, but right now, I just want to help people who are studying for the CPA exam :)
@@sugarcpaus2091 ok. Sounds good
@@sugarcpaus2091 Thank you for sharing your story with us! More than that, millions thanks to your willingness to help the new candidates out there including myself 😃 going through this journey. You make valuable videos with great content. I truly appreciate and bow to you for your efforts and dedication on making this available to all new CPA candidates. I am feeling inspired by you more than anyone that I have heard. Thank you!!
Great content! Thank you sincerely for sharing your smart tips and strategies!
Thank you for your comment! I will be sharing more, so please look forward to them!
@@sugarcpaus2091 yes please... I am looking forward to more videos... Happy Sunday....
Will do! Happy Sunday to you too!
How many hours did you study each day when you were preparing for C P A Exam?
I studied 5 to 6 hours each day. Probably more on the last few days.
