Next semester will be my last to get my Bachelor's Degree.  The idea of taking the CPA exam next year (or in 2012) has been in my head for a couple of weeks.  I have even gone over 2 sections of my FAR Gleim book LOL.  So, next semester I'm taking Audit and Government and Not-for-Profit.  Then in the summer I'm starting my Master's, and taking BUL II, and Adv. Acg.  I actually want to start studying in Jan just using my text books, and my Gleim books from class.  Then by May, I plan on buying the Wiley review, doing that from May-Dec, and then take FAR and AUD in January, and BEC and REG in Feb.  How does my plan sound?  My classmates always say I'm an overachiever, but my dream is to be the best CPA, and be respected by the accounting world LOL . I know I'm crazy shhhh. this happens when you get into accounting, and you actually have to study haha

It would be more doable if you weren't getting your Master's at the same time. I would definitely try to invest in Becker CPA review though. I used the Stalla CFA Review (Made by Becker) and their materials were outstanding. Especially the videos and prep exam software. I imagine the CPA review is on the same level.

Your plan is ambitious but don't kill yourself if you don't have to. Master classes can be time consuming due to a bit more reading/group work than undergrad. Good luck either way.

Thanks for your reply salvi83.  I actually just plan on taking only one Master class (Accounting theory).   I thought about taking Flow-through entities, but I know that would be really difficult to handle since I plan on finding some type of job as well.  I would really like to get Becker, but I've got some other debt to worry about, so Wiley is my best option, and I've heard some people got like 90's in all four sections using Wiley, and hopefully I will be one of those.  Thanks again.
