Sherri shares with us her all-too-common story of losing credit for three parts previously earned due to the 18-Month Rolling Window. We think her perseverance and hopeful attitude will serve as an inspiration to all! Sherri has passed BEC, FAR, and AUD, and now anxiously awaits her final REG score!…

So BEC done and dusted. I mean just the exam. It went well I suppose. I had not even practiced a single  computer practice test so had to struggle with the time limits. But I didn't miss any of the questions. I was able to finish the last of the three memos with one minute left to re-read. But yes some questions involved lengthy calculations on which I wasted a lot of time.

I'm feeling rather overwhelmed with the prospect of taking three courses, starting a full-time job, and trying to complete all four sections of the CPA exam by February. I'm thinking that I…

I Just passed the Audit exam with a 75! Thank you Lord for everything. It was my first exam, and I did not have time to do two big simulation questions (including the research). So if you prepare well but are not good at time management, you could still pass! Anyhow, I must strive to manage the time budget next time in order to maximize the opportunity to pass!

This past week while studying for BEC, I found myself saying a recognizable phrase over in my head – “Just Do It.” While I knew that Nike was responsible for this phrase I became intrigued as to why they coined the phrase and how I started saying it. I did a little research and the phrase is actually around 24 years old this month. I read a statement regarding the slogan by Nike U.S. advertising director Chris…
