I work full time and I graduated almost 5 years ago and always said I’d try to get certified later but I never did it. Now I’m dusting off my brain so to speak and trying to get back into the flow of studying 🤣🤣🤣 I really like how organized you were through this process. Lord knows I need to be organized and develop strong discipline in order to achieve my goals💪🏼

Thank you, I found the best way to pass this - start a day with reading bible verse..I found the secret! God Bless
I work full time too and I have been struggling to find a way to study... but your method is the best and I’ll definitely schedule mine exactly the way you said ... three months for each... passing cpa is my 2018 goal and I know I can do it .... thanks
That’s a good idea Naomi and I’m glad you found the video helpful.
Thank you for sharing your study plan!
This was a great video! I’m a slow reader so it takes me about three to four days to complete each chapter. I’ve passed AUD so far, waiting for my results for BEC, and am now studying FAR! Also, I love how you incorporated your prayer time and workout time.
Hey Toja! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Congrats on passing AUD and best of luck with the rest of your exams! :)
Toja Toja what eligibility require to enter into cpa?
So inspirational! Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for your lovely information, May God continue to bless you ❤
Thank you, I just failed BEC test my first test. I wish I had watched this video before. I will be trying it out.
hey Alejandro! Hope this video helps! Best of luck on your exams!
Thank you, I'm going to study ten times harder
This was very informative! Thanks you so much 😊. My goal for 2018 is to pass all four sections

Thank you for putting this material out, God bless.
Thank you for this Christmas present 🤣🤗. Merry Christmas
Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas to you too!
Can you make a video on how to take notes. I love your notes.
It's pretty ambitious I've been studying far since christmas jan 15th now and I've only completed 3 chapters of FAR
Just keep going... continue at a pace that works for you. I remember when I was studying, I remember there were people who were getting through the homework and lecture in a day. At times I'd feel discouraged like I was moving too slow but I'd always remind myself that each of us will get to the end goal at some point as long as we each stick to our plans. Just set a plan that you know works for you and stick to it.
And best of luck studying!!
Nice presentation.
thank you for your sharing
It’s a great video Sharon. Really insightful! My one question here is : who gave you homework? I mean what were the books you studied during your preparation and wherefrom you compiled the homework questions and checked them for accuracy?
Amazing
Hi, quick question. I'm wondering if you went through the simulations as well as multiple choice during your homework days? or did you focus on multiple choice only?
God Bless you!
Thank u❤
Thank you for the video, really helpful! On the days you watched the lectures, did you watch all the lectures from the modules (8lectures/chapter) on that specific day, then do the homework problems for all 8 modules on the following day?
Yes!
Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! May i ask what review course did you use to study for the cpa?
Hi Tiara! I used Becker.
Thank you :)
I like the way you take your notes. mind is messy and unorganized.
2) When you got stuck in a concept you did not understand, who did you ask? Or was your university or college classes sufficient to go over becker faster? Please any advice will be so appreciated. I am studying for Finanacial starting June 1st yest. I took once before a while back and got a 58. I was so disappointed. Prayers really help and give strength
Wow you're my goal!!!
Thank you!! I am honored! :)
Hey I’m currently studying for FAR while finishing my last semester in school and working. I see you went through the modules in a day or two for each chapter. Was there any concepts you had to do a more in-depth review? For example I’m rereading my textbook for the topic revenue recognition just so I am comfortable with the concept. Did you experience this?
When you do your homework do you look at your notes for help or did you try not to look at your notes and memorize the answer?
Hi, which video lectures did you refer to? Appreciate your response!!!
This is a very detailed way to pass I wish I could do it this way and be done but I feel like I would burn out. 😩 How did you stay so motivated for so long??
I kept my goals and vision near me. I had written them down and I looked at it every single day for the 4 months I was studying so that I was reminded about why I was putting myself through such a challenging process and the benefits I intend to reap. :)
Congratulations on passing the CPA! quick question when you went through the lectures did you also do the skills practice that is included in becker those days or did you do those on the homework days?
When I studied, skills practice was not a thing in Becker. I recommend you squeeze it into one of your study days... lecture or homework. Just make sure you get through it before you start attempting the homework problems.
Send me the file. mzcp2003@gmail.com
Thank you for this video I just graduated in December and started studying immediately after! This video definitely gave me the motivation to become more consistent. I wanted to ask if the skills practice videos were part of your lecture or homework days? Also, did you only use Becker or used additional study materials as well? Thanks in advance and congrats!
I used only Becker because I wanted focused studying and I didn't want to overwhelm myself. Becker is sufficient on its own to help you prepare and ace the exams. Regarding the skills portion, when I studied, skills practice was not a thing in Becker. I recommend you squeeze it into one of your study days... lecture or homework.
Thank you so much!!!
Thankz
Also I wanted to ask you something, does it really affect your grade if you attempt AUD before FAR?? At this point I've attempted all 4 and lost credit for passing BEC and REG but lost my 18 month window, hence re-doing all 4 parts. Currently, my AUD Becker materials are going to expire soon so I wanted to do this exam first as I start my CPA journey again, so I can pass this AUD exam if I study hard yes?? Ive always heard people say to attempt FAR first but it'll end up being very costly for me to repurchase AUD so in this situation, I hope I'm making the right choice.
Hello Priyanka! That's right... it doesn't matter what section you take first. I took FAR first because to me it was the longest section and I wanted to get it out the way first. In your scenario, it makes complete sense to get AUD out the way first since your materials expire soon. Good luck studying!! I wish you all the best!
Hi Sharon from where did you purchased CPA lectures from?
Great video! How did you incorporate the Simulations? Were they part of the HW category? Also, are the practice exams also called, "Mock exams"? Thanks!
Yes the practice exams are the mock exams. And yes, Simulations were part of my HW category.
Thanks
HI Sharon, thank you for sharing your plan. I think this very helpful for those who want to pass the CPA exam. Can you tell me the review course name that you used to study for the CPA exam?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
I used Becker.
hi sharon. what exact lecture video were you watching for your cpa
Thank you, this will help me in my studies. I am studying for Regulations right now but I have been going over chapter 1 until I understand everything before moving on to the next chapter. I have not been doing so well with the task-based simulations (TBS) do you have any suggestions? I plan on taking the exam for REG in July 2018, although, I have not signed up as of yet.
I like that you mentioned that you are going at your pace until you understand. That’s something I definitely recommend. Just take the time to really understand it and even if you don’t do well on the TBS the first time around, just look at it as an opportunity to hone your skills and improve. Best of luck!
Hi Sharon Onuma, I appreciate you for sharing your experience I am studying to take the exam can you please to help me how to get the practice exam .
Hi! When you said “watch all lectures”, I don’t get it. Could you please explain more? You would like to spend 2 days for 1 chapter. So the first day, did you watch all the modules of 1 chapter, take notes and read the lectures. Then the next day, you did all the hw?
Hi Demi! Yes that’s exactly what I did!
Hello! Thank you so much for your video. Its so encouraging...I have a couple of questions. I am studying for Far and starting June 1st so the calender is very helpful 1) As you were going through becker chapter by chapter, did you get lost or did not understand something which delays the study method? Did you just understand all the concepts in the first lecture?
Hello, I’m studying for FAR at the top of the year.
I have 2 questions.
1. When you were studying, did you complete all modules in one sitting? For example, FAR 1 has 8 individual sections.
2. My second question is, while studying everyday, did you try to master the topics or just get a general understanding of the concepts?
Thank you very much!
Hi! Thanks for watching! Yes I completed the chapter including the modules. While reading through the text, I focused my attention on the areas the instructor from the video had asked that we highlight and quickly skimmed the other areas. In terms of mastery, I won't say I mastered it immediately as I read it. It took continuous readings of my notes and doing the homework problems to master it. On my first go, my goal was just to get a conceptual understanding of most of the material before I moved on. Hope this answers your questions.
I wonder if I will ace my grade 11 accounting with this method.....btw you really are accountant goals
#Goals. Haha thanks!!
Some difficult questions i am practicing takes time to understand. Any tips on how you tackle the difficult questions while practicing for the exam? Did you take the time to understand or skip or skim it?
Really helpful video. Just curious - did you do all the underlining, circling, and highlighting that Becker encourages during the lectures???
Yes I did. Underlining, highlighting and circling, kept me engaged throughout the lecture.
@@SharonOnuma Thanks so much for the response. I am finding it is taking a long time to do all of the underlining, highlighting, and circling. Do you have any tips for getting through this faster? Maybe I'm trying to read too much at the same time as I am doing this. Is it better to just listen and do the mark-ups and get through it fast? Thanks for any advice you can share.
I have a question about how you can quickly finish one section in one day because every section has almost 100-200 MC and 10-15 simulations.
Hi. What type of software did you use to study for the exam? What software is the best in your opinion that is on the market?
so do u complete all the lectures of all the modules for one chapter in one day?
