Random background information to keep in mind while reading:

My prep tool was Becker, I was not working for three of the exams, and I was a 3.5 GPA student. I luckily did not need any retakes and I took all my exams in 2 windows. . After each exam, with the exception of REG, I felt very unsure if I passed.  

My Study Strategy:

1. Watch all the lectures and writing the notes that the lecturers told me to do.
2. Go through the book and make notes on white paper of what I thought was important.
3. Do the homework questions and mark anything that I got wrong or took longer than 2 minutes to finish.
4. Do 1-3 for all chapters then go through each chapter to memorize the material.
5. Attempt to do all the HW questions a 2^nd or 3^rd time.
6. Do the final exams MCQ 3-7 days before my exam. Did not touch simulations

My random tips (they may work for you or not!):

1. The test is generally not super specific, so look at the %s that material is most likely to be tested and study that. For example, for Audit, you know that most of the test is going to be Planning, Substantive Procedures, and Internal control, so focus on that first, then if you have more time to spare, do the specific stuff.
2. Try to take the exam in the time between graduating and starting work. You’ll thank me later.
3. Get in the habit of studying. Just tell yourself you have to study on x day and make sure you do it. My biggest motivation was that I did not want to study + work at the same time.
4. Your time may be better spent away from studying simulations. I touched FARE simulations, but after taking FARE, I never studied the sims again. I felt the simulations were not very representative of what would remotely be on the exam. This is just my opinion, but I may have been lucky.  
5. When you take the test, give yourself XX minutes per testlet and be STRICT about it. Once time is up, move on. It’s better to get through the test than to struggle over 1-2 problems.

My results (ranked from hardest to easiest):

AUD – 12 Days (6 weekends) – 6 hrs a day – 78 –My best advice – focus on planning, substantive procedures and internal controls (A3, A4 and A1).

FARE – 1.5 months – 6 hrs a day 6 days a week – 85 - My best advice – Don’t go nuts over governmental/NFP.

BEC – 5 days – 8 hrs a day – 80 - My best advice – focus on B3-5.

REG – 4 weeks – 5 hrs a day – 95 – My best advice – I heard tax was a big part of the test, so I focused on that and it paid off.

This website was a big help! It made passing so much easier. I took from what many others did, so I thought I'd at least share what I did.
