From January 1st to October 1st, 2022, I worked hard to study and improve myself. During those nine months, I spent a lot of time studying, sometimes until I fell asleep at my computer. I had to give up a lot of things like seeing my family, watching TV, and hanging out with friends. I only saw my girlfriend every after 8 weeks. I studied for long hours in my room because I really wanted to do well. I even studied from 6 pm to 3 am once! I was determined to pass my exams, no matter what. My faith helped me stay strong during those late nights. And it paid off—I got good scores: FAR-84, REG-86, BEC-87, and AUD-84. My study plan was simple: study from 7 pm to 12 am on weekdays and all day on weekends. Each week, I learned a new chapter and did lots of practice questions and tests. Before each big exam, I spent two weeks reviewing everything. This journey wasn't just about passing exams; it was about growing as a person, and I'm proud of how far I've come.
I really like your story because it's a lot like mine. I'm in my early 30s and I realized I needed to act fast or I'd regret it later. So, I decided to focus all my energy on passing my exams. It felt like I was in a kind of 'prison' until I succeeded. I spent most of my time at the gym and didn't go out much, but I kept in touch with my family.
I found inspiration in Greg Plitt's videos, which I used to motivate myself. I passed my first three exams on my first try, and now I just have one left. I know my intense approach might not be for everyone, but sometimes you need to shake things up to make progress. Congrats on your success, and I hope to become a CPA soon too.
At first, I tried to do everything when I started studying. I wrote notes, answered questions, did simulations, and reviewed everything. But then I stopped doing simulations because they took too long and didn't always help on the test. Instead, I focused on the main stuff and the most important simulations. It worked well and saved me a lot of time studying.
This message is for people aiming to be the best. It inspired me to hit the books. Well done! Ignore those who criticize now but envy later when someone outperforms them and earns more money and climbs the ranks faster.
He listens to the prayers of the righteous! Drawing nearer to God has also brought me success in passing REG and AUD consecutively. It's quite remarkable. All the fear of missing fades away, and you become intensely focused. You simply trust that He's guiding you. Time seems to pause, and worries fade away. That's what I believe it is. I'm genuinely thrilled for you! Just one exam left for me!
