Bloggin Til CPA

Just a city girl aspirating to become a certified public accountant (“CPA”). Follow my journey and keep me accountable as I aim towards passing all four of my CPA exams!

Going through my stuff to throw away and came across my original study notebook that I started with. If you scroll all the way down to my first couple posts, you will see how the notebook looked when I first started using it.

To be honest, this notebook is half used and was only used for 2 modules. I then started using an iPad to take all my notes.

To be even more honest, note taking was super inefficient for me. What worked was taking the multiple choice questions and practice exams.

And we have it y’all!!!

TCP = DONE

Studying for the CPA = DONE

Countless weekends away from the bf & bebe = DONE

This is only done via the inspection method, will check back once it’s official on the CBA site 😌

TCP is in two days!! We got this weekend to finish studying the material 🫠

The state of my room and my desk is killing me!!! After this exam, I will be on a break until I find out my results. Whether it’ll be my last exam or two more 🫨 we shall see!!!

My little Sony angel babies are cheering me on!

For every exam I pass, I put it under my monitor to display victory over the exam ☺️

UPDATE: REG = PASSED!

uno mas babyyyyyy! TCP, we coming for you.

Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

Good morning, BAR EXAM DAY!

Last minute studies and exam fueled by Nguyen Coffee Supply today. I originally purchased this brand for Xmas gifts but decided to get myself some beans as well. Supporting another first gen Asian American woman reaching her goals 🥰

Wherever you are in your journey, you can put your mind to it and make it happen. Don’t ever give up!

Super great news to find out this morning. Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year! 🧧 Starting the year of the snake strong!

Hoping this momentum continues as I go into my BAR exam tomorrow.

FAR on Dec 19, let’s get it!!! *cries*

[bloggin-til-cpa]

Failed FAR again 🥹 welp, time to reschedule! Crawling up closer, twas a 6 point increase from my last FAR exam. Just need another 6 point increase to past!

That was horrible!!!! Questions on material I have not gone over, and I feel like I did such a thorough review. This was the first time I did not finish my exam 🫣 a part of test taking is making sure you move along in the exam so you can cover all parts but I got stuck a couple times!!! All we can do is sit and wait for the test scores to come out next week for my past exam. And so we will wait and see!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Final (and only) review on exam day 🥹

Will debrief of the whole past month after my exam.

Wish me luck!!

& we’re 3 days away from BAR, ladies & gents 😅

I’ve been going through the sections super thoroughly, but I’m really running out of time. Will I cover all material, we’ll find out in a couple of days!

Little starbies studying action going on. That pumpkin spice latte gmfu I’m lactose intolerant 😭

Also, they took out every wall outlet for customers at this Starbucks. That is just horrible!!! Was looking forward to charge all my gadgets but my battery pack came to the rescue!

Had my iPad’s Notes App crash and caused me to lose written notes in addition to heating up so it was no longer comfortable to continue writing on my iPad. Decided to look into it and found out it was a bug with the iPad and that others are experiencing the same issue.

Downloaded Notability to try out. I like it!!! Just don’t like having to pay for an app or else be subject to a usage limit 🥹 discount codes are appreciated! Lol

[bloggin-til-cpa]

No time to waste!! As we wait for FAR results, it’s time to move on to the next exam!!

BAR at the end of October, let’s get it!

[bloggin-til-cpa]

Exam day!!! The vibes on the way to the test center.

Now that I took the exam, time to wait until the score release in November 🫠
