Posting this again because the sub has grown a lot, and I think a lot of newer students may not be aware of this incredible resource!

If you are starting soon, newly enrolled, stuck on a class, planning out acceleration, comparing the bachelor’s and master’s programs, thinking about public accounting, industry, internships, CPA, or just trying to figure out whether your pace is normal, the WGU Accounting Study Group Discord is worth joining.

The biggest benefit is that it feels like having other students and grads around in real time. You can ask quick questions, search old conversations, compare notes with people in the same classes, and get perspective from people who already finished what you are working through.

To be clear, this is not a place to share answers or violate WGU policies. It is for legitimate study support, program advice, career discussion, accountability, and community.

If you're already in the server, feel free to comment with how it has helped you so newer students know what to expect.

Happy studying!

Haven't read any material or watched any videos yet. 0 Accounting or IT experience.

This felt very similar to the Supply Chain PA, where many answers were common sense, and others of course required knowledge of the course material.

Don't let people's posts on here scare you. Def take the PA before starting the course

Just take it and get over and done with. It took me two days after opening it. Day one....I didn't feel like doing it. Day two....I looked at videos and then took the test. This class is nothing compared to an EA license, which they should have credited EA license holders as a pass but what do I know, and reviewing just let's you know basic material they will go over.

Quick question as I’m attempting to finally finish my bachelor degree. I’ve already gotten credit for principals of financial and managerial accounting, but I took it years ago. Do you think I should retake it before I jump into intermediate?? Thanks in advance 🙏

I am nearing the end of my term and my degree. I took this PA today completely cold without touching the material, and this was my score. How close does the OA align to the PA? Reading all other posts and comments about this class had me thinking one way but I thought a lot of the questions and answers made sense.

Hi, I’ve been stuck on D102 for almost 3 weeks now and I’m just not grasping the content. I’ve been at WGU since February 2026 and I’m already about 40% of the way through. But, D102 is the first accounting heavy course I enrolled in and I can already tell things are slowing down. I’ve always been more of a in person/hands on learner so this self paced thing is definitely challenging. My study methods so far have just included reading through the textbook, watching the embedded videos and taking a ridiculous amount of notes. I don’t enjoy reading through WGU’s textbooks and would really appreciate if someone could provide me some external resources / YouTube channels / or places I can do practice exams for accounting courses.

Preparing to take OA 2, so far memorizing leases has been the struggle lol. Any tips like acronyms or cool ideas that helped you get through this section, I would appreciate hearing.

could you pass d103 without having access to the PAs and other materials off external resources?

wont have access to new courses till 1st of june. after class opens ill do quick skim/taking of the PAs then take the OAs is the plan.

ive been watching all of ellin myers videos, today i took the pre assesment and the questions were kinda confusing. do you guys have any tips to learning the material. Ive spent 3 weeks on this class so far

Does anyone here recommend taking classes on study.com before enrolling into wgu? Working towards my bachelors in accounting!

Hi everyone, I know this course has been discussed a million times lol but I really need help with studying. I am really not sure how to go about studying for this course, it is so much material to cover. I'm only on Unit 3- Process Costing. So far I'm using OneNote to take key notes and copy/paste module questions and answers to get a better understanding of what may be needed on the OA. But I'm still not really grasping it and the formulas are overwhelming. I also thought about only studying the module and unit tests and creating study guides from them. Can anyone share how they have been studying for this course or how they were able to finally pass the class?

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share my notes and a podcast I made using AI. I know people struggle with this course, so in case it helps anyone!

Here is the link for the resources:

Good luck to everyone!!

Hello everyone, wondering what sort of laptop I should get as I am looking to start school in September. Was planning on a MacBook, then after some research, realized that it’s not the most compatible with excel and other accounting specific programs? what does everyone use? thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have my Associates degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences which is 60 credits. I hope to finish my bachelors degree in 1 year, or 1.5 if I have to. How quickly do you think I could realistically finish an accounting degree at wgu while working part time?

Hello, I am planning on starting WGU accounting (maybe finance, but right now I'm leaning accounting), in July or August. I am weak in math though, especially the more abstract math which has me concerned about the College Algebra course. I've also heard from other threads that the course is not very good from a teaching perspective, though that is heresay.

My question is should I try to get a certificate through Sophia/Study.com or enroll through the class and suck it up? Thanks?
