Has anyone here taken the CPA exams or are licensed? My job is paying for it I’ll be given access to Becker this week, just looking for study tips and what not I don’t return to work full time until September. I’ll be unemployed from now to September 8th just trying to see how long I should be studying and if 4 months is enough to pass at least two of the exams? Any additional outside resources that helped you get through the exams would be greatly appreciated as well thank you!

Alright yall know I been thumbing through these classes we have reached our first brick wall…D217 how are yall passing the OA Its NOTHING like the PA should I just read the whole textbook? I watched all the module videos 🥹

Alright units 2-3 this is the excel portion I’m not going to lie I was lost….fighting for my life….but I scored the best on this exam than I did any exam I’ve taken at this school. Follow the same process I tell y’all watch the course resources videos, take notes, do all the module quizzes and unit test, and bonus: RETAKE THE EXCEL PORTION ON THE PA AND KEEP DOING IT UNTUL YOU MASTER IT.
Took me about 6hrs yesterday.

Units 4-6…..this portion uhm lord have mercy anyway. Watch the course resources videos, unit test and quizzes, take the PA once with study material, then again without study material. If you do good the 2nd time around take that OA highly recommended you focus on stockholder equity.
Took me 9hrs today.

My advice and tips on these classes are for everyone but especially for people who are like me with learning disabilities, reading is not the vibe, and have ADHD. Yes I’m accelerating but I do genuinely retain the information I’m learning you’ll be just fine! 3 more to go letssss gooooo 🎓

I didn’t read anything.

Use the course resources 🎓 for units 2-3 I finished in about 6 hours I only watched the course videos and took notes. I recommend drawing out the different statements on paper it help me memorize exactly where everything will go in the excel portion. Took the PA did great immediately took the OA and passed they are very similar.

I did the exact same thing the next day with units 5-7, watched the videos and took notes finished in like 6 hours. I did unfortunately fail the first time yesterday only on one section I got distracted actually by my partner who wasn’t suppose to be in the room and got so thrown off re took it today passed it.

As I’m wrapping up my classes I noticed when I looked up the courses I’m taking in this subreddit to see how other people tackled it. Majority of the post are in my opinion exaggerating how hard someone of the classes are. This is coming from someone who is I can’t stress this enough not book smart like at all and has learning disabilities, I’ve genuinely been finishing my classes dang near in one day. Four more to go the goal is to be finished by this weekend wish me luck!

Hello all does anyone know any tattoo artist in the twin cities area or anyone in Minnesota for that matter who can tattoo dark skin? I’ve always been a piercing kind of person unfortunately joining corporate America I had to take out all my piercings 🫠 I want to scratch this itch by getting tattoos but I can’t find many places or artists who have done work on dark skin so! If anyone knows where to point me in the right direction or anything it will be greatly appreciated thanks!
