I do have CMA. Let me show you Well, let me show you anyway because in case you need it for part two Let me Let me show you my My CMA material Let me change the screen here Give me one moment share Okay, so if you go to my website farhat lectures calm obviously you're done with CPA part one But a CMA part one. I hope you pass but I just want to let you know I do have CMA part one and CMA part two as Additional Supplemental resources. I'm not sure if you're using my material or not if you are please. Let us know. How do you feel about it? Ali professor farhat you should do the CIA courses as well. I have succeeded what very well an internal audit Word with it. I'm absolutely Ali. Let me first finish the new CPA I'm under a lot of pressure completing all the CPA lectures. Definitely the CIA as well as CISA are On my to-do list, but step by step. I wish I can clone myself That will be great, but I can't do that I still have to complete also the other thing I want to complete is EA part three Which is I only have part one and part two, but I will get to the CIA rest assured So Sonya you have 150 credit. Did you get those evaluated or you think you have 150? Abigail I'm studying for my last section, which is far. I'm working full-time and I'm planning to take my exam By December the 15th. Do you think far is? Studyable studyable in five weeks. Should I wait for the exam to change? Do you anticipate far to change a lot? I'm very math driven person have heard that governmental section is going away Good question Abigail The first thing I tell you I need to tell you is congratulation for passing the other three sections great That's the first thing I need to tell you Because you did pass because you did pass the other three sections. You should know Abigail should know whether far is You can pass for within within within five weeks If you did very well in college in intermediate accounting governmental accounting and consolidation It's possible, but you're gonna put a lot of pressure on yourself Here's what I would do Abigail if I was in your shoes if the other three Suctions none of them will expire in other words if you if starting January 1st You have the other three sections Unexpired I will definitely definitely wait to take far in 2024 It's not only governmental accounting is going away consolidation is going away and the conceptual framework and The advanced topic of leases the advanced topic of revenue recognition. So if the three sections would all be Available to you in 2024 definitely Abigail don't take it in 2023. Why put pressure on yourself if They're giving you a year and a half to pass far and it's the easy version of far Abigail I'm not sure which course you have But I'll tell you for example becker becker used to have 10 modules for for far now They have six modules just to tell to give you an idea how much how much That becker is being is being not becker how much far is being reduced in terms of volume So that will determine based on but if any of the topics will be expired and you want to finish So give it all you got and let me know which course you are using because if you are using becker I do have becker far. I do have becker glam I do have back. I do have far for all of them becker glime miles Roger surgeon and I can help you I can help you in other words prepare better, but this is my answer to you. I hope this makes sense So how often will you do a life like this? I'm from Georgia. So my believe it or not randomly I just you know sometime. I feel like you know what I have 10 15 20 30 minutes. I'm gonna go live and see who's online studying and Be life if I do plan it ahead I will post on my social media follow me, but lately I've been going live randomly Excellent Sonya if you have 150 credit go ahead and get started Go ahead and get started. Don't wait apply to through the NASBA, Michigan and get started Edna demand. I'm suing supply and demand and risk When you say risk, there's a lot of risk and and and be easy The reason I'm asking you which topic you're struggling with Edna because this is my best tip to you When you walk into that exam, you don't want to have any weakness with any topics Could you tell me which CPA course are you using Edna? So I can just basically maybe give you a little bit of a help here Thanks, I will reach out. Can you share contact? Absolutely. Give me one moment Let me just do it right now. Watch what I'm gonna do. You're gonna see my screen I'm gonna go to Google and what I'm gonna do is type NASBA Michigan and I'm gonna send you the link right here Copy link and I'm gonna send it on linked in and this is the contact for Michigan And you'll go ahead and get started. Don't wait That's all what you needed. This is where you get started. Let me go back Lara I watched. Yes watch 51 videos Thank you for counting Larissa. That's excellent But did you watch them on YouTube? What are you part of my website as well where you have? Thousands of MCQs that's gonna help you for the CMA. I Evaluated my Alexandria University Egypt that came at 126. Yes in some states You can take take the exam EG, but you you'd still have you would still need the 150 to get certified So in some states you can sit for the exam and worry about the 24 24. Yes 24 credit remaining later They'll which section best to start with good question. Dale. I'm assuming you're discussing 2024 because 2023 It's too late. So for the new CPA exam here's my here's my My opinion about what she should take first I'm gonna type them far audit rag then the Specialization and I'm gonna tell I'm gonna explain my reason why because I know some CPA review courses are Recommending otherwise Think about they'll think about in college when you went to college The first thing you tip is your financial accounting intermediate accounting before you took your audit course Therefore you want to take far before you take audit before you take rag And you don't want to take audit before far because when you do audit you have to know financial accounting So that's why you start with far You go from far to audit then Far and audit will give you a strong base to learn taxes Then eventually a year from now or nine month We will have we mean tax preparers far hat, you know, I'm supplemental becker glime All of them will have more information about the specialization Then you will decide on your specialization so far audit rag That's my recommendation You can go far rag audit, but I would rather because I believe far and audit are interrelated That's going to take far then audit and Far before audit then the specialization we can talk about that later There are many strategies to utilize for the specialization Should I invest in a becker right now and possibly take part before December or wait till 2024 to have the new books and material Fam becker has the 2024 material already So if you are seriously investing in your exam buy becker Start with far becker like becker far and on my website too for the CPA 2024 I already have becker far because becker far already is out there. So go ahead buy. Don't wait start the study for becker So Sonya you have evaluated from wash. I believe you meant to say Washington State Yes, absolutely if you evaluated your courses from Washington State, it means you qualify because you asked me how do I start? What are you referring to which section do you take first? Is this what you meant by how do I start or you meant to say? Mechanically or logistically how do you start? I'm one of your members. I listen to every day. It's wonderful. I am in New Jersey So I pass EA So I pass EA to be able to work. Thank you EG. Thank you. I am in Pennsylvania. We're very close Yes, yes, it's good that you have the EA at least you have something in your in your hands to start with Until you pass your CPA. Wow, definitely you will need my website EG if you graduated 30 years ago because part of my part of my part of my Gold is to help people would have a time gap in their education and you will be a classic example To be helped definitely you will need my my website a Malik stay warm called from Iowa It's already called an Iowa, huh? Today it was a 75 degrees. I believe this is the last day in Pennsylvania. It will be this warm I'm closing my books now Absolutely, I mean you don't have to close the books Abigail if you have becker. I'm using back there. Thank you so much Yes, go with that start the 2024. Yes, you can switch to 2024 And please consider supplemental with my material. I do have the 2024 backer course Yes, between now and December or January February. You will you you will be able to learn everything because it's like 60% discount the terms of material Definitely. Yes, I hope I gave you some good news and relieve that pressure But again Abigail, I want to confirm this one more time your other three sections your other three sections will not expire Right, that's what we are talking about here. So you have them unexpired as of January 1st. Hi friends We're still gonna have one-on-one meeting friends. Believe me Right. Yes, any tips to study first time taken for BC? I've been I've been doing lectures writing notes and taking the quiz, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it Reza Is this the best way or not? I'm gonna ask you How well are you doing when you take the quizzes? That's in other words, you are you are studying You didn't tell me which course. I'm gonna assume backer So when you take your quizzes, how well are you doing on the quizzes? That's how you know if it's the best way or not because you need to test yourself Edna if you're taking backer What you should do in my opinion, I'm gonna share with you my backer be see course Let me go to be see give me one moment, please I'm gonna share with you my be see and any topics I know you have a short period of time But this is where my my resources would help you the most my resources are aligned like backer B1 M1 B1 M2 B1 M3 so on and so forth. So let me let me share this only then So Edna what you should do for example supply and demand any topics that you're struggling with what you should do You should go to far hat lectures View those topics when you say risk again I need to know like which section and risk but you would know which section and Start to take my multiple choice after you listen to the material and Learn the material better to patch those weaknesses You don't want to go into the exam having any doubt about supply and demand because here's my guess Edna If you have problem with supply and demand you have problem with other econ concept because supply and demand is the base for Econ so you don't want to go into the exam having any doubts about econ So invest in my course at least if I can save you with econ Who knows I can get you that 75 points and I hope if you were not successful you could still take it before The end of 2023 Polina from Seattle. I have my audit tests last Friday. I used your farm material This is supplemental for backer and it helped me with a lot of concept. Thank you Polina Did you use it for audit though?

What do you think about taking audit in December the 15th? If I start the backer material tomorrow or to wait for 20 25 That's gonna be my first CPA exam I'll hudge Here's what I can tell you Audit is the one that's changing the least. So whether you take it in 2023 2024 or 2025 audit don't change that much Either I mean there's not much that they can add to audit or take away from audit If you can take it by December 15, go ahead But why don't you take the VEC by December 15 and get done with your special take take the chance on that rather than that Take the chance on audit. That's my question to you How many me how many weeks do you think would be enough for far for someone who works full-time? Classic question classic question and the answer is there's no answer there's no There's no answer for your questions There are many factors that determine how long a student study One is how familiar are they with the concept? Is this their first time studying? How long ago did they graduate it? How old are they because that's gonna see pure energy. I'm old. I cannot study as much when I was younger Do you work in in topics that are related to financial accounting and reporting, what's your academic ability? There are many factors. So I cannot answer that question except my answer is you need to study as much as possible To be ready. I'm doing my master's and first semester is completed. Good job, Harold Can you tell us what school and what's the purpose of this? Sonya now I did not have any course yet. I need my first step. I got evaluated Yes, good. Excellent. I would say far far Excellent Abigail. This is excellent news. I'm sure this is an excellent way to finish your week and make sure Therefore what's gonna happen? You have at least 18 months to finish six module in far Congratulations in advance. If you pass the other three, it will be should be a walk in the park I am Samir from Tokyo. I'm preparing for my FAR exam on December 13th. Excellent. Excellent. I do have few I know I have few I mean I might have few more than few customers from Tokyo Because I know two of them they ask me a lot of questions. That's why I know I know I have few Students in Tokyo. So I'm glad I at least I know I have three Students that are watching me from Tokyo. I'm sure there are more, but I don't know those three for far Thank you. Thank you for showing up. I'm sure it's it's the morning over there. I'm assuming Gotcha, I'm studying your material as my review. So excellent. Excellent. And I hope it's helpful I hope it's helpful for you. Hi, Anthony It's two month enough for far if someone is working full time. Again, I cannot answer that question I would say yes, and I can say no If this is your first time Asking I understand but if you already took other sections of the exam You should know whether you can finish it in two month or not if you have not then It's hard to answer. It's hard to answer that question Um, I mean 2024. Yes 2024. So alhash, I will take be see if I'm going to take my chances because audit is not changing Testing assuming you can apply for it. You may not be able to apply for it anymore at this point testing for rec tomorrow Hopefully the last one. Good luck to everyone on the journey. Good luck tomorrow and please keep me posted.

Ashok excellent work Can you show us what review what your review courses would look like? Absolutely. Let me thank you. Thank you, abigail So i'm gonna go i'm gonna show the current far because you are familiar with that abigail Which is good. So if you go to my all courses you go to far exam And i'm gonna click on far becker because you are the most familiar with that So once it loads, I will show you the structure. Oops. I need to add my Add my screen. Uh, no, you can see my screen So this is my far becker supplemental course if you scroll down First I have a welcoming message. Then I have a session about how to solve simulations Then I have f1 module one. Then if you click on f1 module one Well, uh, if you click on f1 module one, I have a lecture that cover this conceptual framework and financial reporting Maybe several of them. I have several of them objective of financial reporting What is gap? Then you take a quiz then conceptual framework, which is you don't need to do this anymore abigail This is what i'm trying to say. This is gone this conceptual framework. For example, let's take a look at f1 module two Uses and limitation of the income statement income statement format boom quiz about the topic Unusual gains and losses cpa exam puzzle balance sheet balance sheet part one two three balance sheet from a to z sold by professor farhad then quiz Then exercises so by the time you're done with f1 module two You would have learned everything you need to learn about the financial statements Then I have comprehensive exams in addition to the quizzes. I have a comprehensive exams That will have a i cpa questions and regular cpa exam questions And this this is this is what it would look like this is what it would look like And it's it follows becker. So it follows the becker structure. So in your situation You want to go to the cpa exam 2024? And look at that becker course because you no longer You no longer have that It's difficult to remember the whole material. I have learned the whole material five times. Can I solve the questions? Don't leave these advice Yes, yeah, yes, if you if you're relying on your memory, there is no way you are going to pass It's a lot if you understand the concept If you understand the concept you will you Say the cpa exam is not asking you to write the material they're not they don't want you to write them It's not like they they want you to rely on your memory. You can't But if you understand the concept you should be able to choose the right multiple choice question from a series of From a four option So if you rely on your memory, you will never pass you want to rely on your understanding And this is what I offer as far hat lectures. I help students understand the material Therefore you will be able to remember the material because you're not expected to memorize it You remember to recognize the correct answer from four options If you if you understand it you would recognize it if you memorize it unless your your brain is 10 gigabyte of data can hold hold that you you won't be able to do it So that that's my answer to you is you're not understanding the material because no one can use their memory and remember David good question And I get this question all the time David no what I do is I help you Let me go to Let me show you what I offer. So this way you understand what I offer I don't have simulations. What I have is I have exercises that are similar to simulations But what I have that help students the most is how to solve simulations I have one two three four five six seven eight. I have like 16 Some of them are exactly a ICPA simulation. Some of them are exercises A shock, please stop because I don't I don't want to kick you out. Let's let's stop spamming the chat here. Okay So what I have is what I have is is What I have is how to solve simulations And David Yes, practicing as many simulations as possible. That's the best way to do it But you want to know how to solve simulations and I do have strategies on how to solve simulations Like I will have a simulation a ICPA simulation then how to solve the simulation Because on the exam you're going to see something else some other simulation as long as you know how to solve simulations As long as you understand the topics You will be able to Solve simulations because on the exam day you're going to come up with something totally totally different You have two weapons in your in your hands to face this How to solve any simulation and be comfortable with the topics once you have those two Items in your hand, you will be fine And a lot of practice of course because the simulation is no more than a multiple choice framed differently It's no more than that. It's a multiple choice. Any simulation is about a particular topic Any simulation For example, if you're if you're studying for BEC you could see A multiple choice about variances then the same multiple choice that you can see it in form of a simulation So as long as you understand the material know the material and Are comfortable with the various type of simulations You'll be good to go And I can help you in both I can help you understand the material I can help you in showing you how to solve simulations It's 30 minutes already time goes fast when you're having a good time Umi, Jane up, what's the benefit to taking the CPA the benefit are endless Depending on what you want to do if you want to go into public accounting be an auditor work in tax be a consultant It opened many doors for you. What are the benefit? I would suggest you google the benefit and see if that's something good for you There's benefit for everything, but whether those benefits are good for you or not. It's up to you So my question to you is what's your goal? And if your goal is to matches with your CPA Goal then you have plenty of benefits to go for your CPA But if your goal is something else other than the CPA Then no the CPA is not good for you, but it has a lot everything has benefits Any other questions comments anything?
