Dude, I can’t believe summer is almost over. Summer 2011, hands down, has been my most eventful and memorable summer. I hung out with best friends, reconnected with old friends, and made new friends. I focused on family, friends, and fun since this officially my last free summer before I enter the real world.
Three things I’m looking forward to in November:
- Audit Staff start date!!
- Credits for FAR and BEC expire (i fell for the oh-18-months-to-pass-feels-like-more-than-enough-time trick)
- Bonus check for passing the CPA

Roger CPA Review
1) I got lazy
Explanation: After passing FAR and BEC in the same window, I got cocky. I let myself relax, since I already had what it takes to pass this exam.
Why this failed: I kept putting off my exam dates to the next window and lost that sense of urgency to finish the CPA exam.
How I fixed it: In May, I looked at my calendar and realized my FAR & BEC credits expire in November.
2) I used Yaeger AUD lectures
Explanation: Yaeger AUD lectures are terrible.
Why this failed: The lectures are boring and put me to sleep.
How I fixed it: See #3 below.
3) I memorized practiced questions
Explanation: I could easily recognize keywords and associate them with other keywords. So instead of learning and understanding practice questions, I memorized answers.
Why this failed: I could easily be tripped up by the detailed wording of questions and double negative answer choices.
How I fixed it: I used the Roger lectures for understanding and relating concepts. The mnemonics in the Roger CPA review book helped with organizing and memorizing long lists of information.
