I usually aimed for 90 percent using Becker. The key is not to get a certain percentage correct but to really understand the problems. If you get a question right, understand why you got it right. If you get a question wrong, understand why you got it wrong. That is really the key.

Also, focus on the topics you struggle with. I taught financial accounting and too many times I would see students studying what they already knew because it felt good to get questions right. Study the stuff you don't know.

Sometimes I feel I know the material but when I do gleim mcq I get confused :/  so I guess i'll keep doing more mcq... If anyone has any link to free mcq, would u mind sharing the link with me...thanks a lot!

I used gleim and i think gleim is more than enough to pass.My advice is rather than wasting time in searching more questions do past cpa questions given in gleim atleast 3 times before exam.I want to share my experience with you.When i did gleim mcqs for the first time i didn't score much but i tried to understand the concept.I read all the four options even if i know the right one.If i found anything important i noted it down in my notes.When i did for the second time i scored around 80.For the third time i did only those questions which i did wrong in the second time or i thought really important to revise.
