  • got my license but basically I just want this to be my my cpa exam experience

  • let's start off that I went into community college at age 31 and had this

  • dream of being a CPA took me six and a half years when I was 37 and a half i

  • got my license on january 29 2015 licensee . state of Florida arm so you

  • know it's it's never too late to have that dream of doing it and I just want

  • to say i ended up failing for exams and i ended up passing the four exams and 18

  • months so i just want to give my exam history here the trials tribulations and

  • just going to try to relive it through this video anyways arm so in college you

  • know I went back to school very late well you know 31 and i think i graduated

  • when I was 35 maybe I want to Broward Community College transferred over to

  • fau florida atlantic university boca raton florida island florell

  • anyways I i graduated college I struggled I think I kind of was like a

  • 2.7 2.8 I struggled I don't know what I can say you know it doesn't come easy to

  • me you know some things do come museum

  • I'm fast with numbers think of a people person but accounting straight counting

  • all the stuff in the Far exam never came easy to me first so I graduated I got to

  • sit for the CPA exam and I studied for about two months i think from middle

  • over our november and december i studied for for example first exam

  • ah and I had no idea what to expect

  • uh you know I used a bunch of different sources of information but I wasn't

  • wasn't working wasn't doing anything I was just studying i took the Far exam

  • first and i ended up getting i took that in january i ended up getting a 73 on my

  • first one and so I feel that I was over one at this point and I I actually felt

  • fine about it I just didn't want to put everything I had into this and get like

  • a 40 or 50 like honestly I tried my heart you know I studied a lot i started

  • really hard and I was closed so I knew that I can do it

  • arm but right after there will be sit for the exam i knew i was going to do

  • this i knew i was going to pass this I what failure was not an option

  • you know you only fail if you stop just a setback so it's just a setback

  • so after I got a 73 I was feeling ok on far then I i went and i work to season

  • as a tax preparer HR block learned a lot

  • so April 15 came around and I thought oh well I will up i'll take tax I'll take

  • the tab drag exam now because I just attacked so I should be got that I think

  • I studied for that for about a month month and a half wasn't working and you

  • know i just got too complacent in this exam

  • I you know I would just I would stay four five six hours a day you know x 7

  • study for like 40 hours a week and I do the same multiple choice questions and I

  • i thought you know I thought I was going to do i thought i was going to pass you

  • know I'm a tax guy arm end up taking redeye got a 68 on it so now I'm 0 for 2

  • now you know it was tough

  • oh it was tough because you know i don't know you know along the way of this

  • whole process of getting a college degree being a CPA always question am i

  • smart enough

  • can I do this I was over to and I just I just buckled up and you know I signed up

  • for reg again i think i was going to take it and i think another five or six

  • weeks and this time I didn't worry about studying so many hours I just studied as

  • much as I could tell my brain was about to explode

  • I believe I I started really incorporating exercise in here by the

  • name of the channel cpa strength because I lifting weights has changed my life

  • for the positive in so many ways and I think it helped me focus in on pass the

  • exam but I got a little smarter on my study strategies arm authoritative

  • literature and whatnot sign up taking reg and I i got an 83 on it my first my

  • first victory and who did that feel good that felt good and so then I think in

  • one month later I are 6-8 weeks later I was going to take the bc and I just

  • started my butt off for the bc and ended up getting an 83 on that so now is two

  • for two now is feeling pretty confident and you might I have three other videos

  • that i put back on the youtubes and I was feeling pretty confident I was a 242

  • you know 244 now had two wins and so I want to start making some youtube videos

  • but what happened was i I just I started thinking about what you two were younger

  • to make and instead of studying and i had to put everything away arm and you

  • know

  • I had this laser focus of the cpa exams once after I failed a the reg the first

  • time I took it with a 68 I just was like nothing nothing at her you know I just

  • study and study and do more multiple choice questions you know I didn't care

  • arm you know I had a schedule you know I didn't I didn't do anything I i studied

  • and lifted weights and you know I I got it over with

  • but anyways I I took those youtube videos down because I I i stopped kind

  • of doing social media and I was just in the zone home so I forgot the second win

  • the dec of 83 I went took auditing arm and i ended up passing that one with an

  • 81 which was weird because i thought well i took to be i took bc and i didn't

  • think i did that good well you don't know I don't know what the word

  • communication which I don't think I did that great and why not get any 3 which

  • was good for me you know what they say I want a 99 but i'll take the 75 it

  • where was I

  • fuck sorry I lost my train of thought I'm going on the cuff here of oh my

  • aaron 83 on I took auditing and I thought oh man I I thought I nailed

  • already

  • I thought like maybe like a freaking 90 I don't get anyone so I don't you just

  • can't really tell anyways now when I passed all these three exam i think i

  • passed a high-pass reg be seen auditing within like 4-5 months and I I wasn't

  • doing anything you know I wasn't working I was just studying you know i don't i

  • don't have a kid

  • ah had a girlfriend at the time didn't really see her but every three weeks

  • that that kind of hurts relationship but you know i was i was tunnel-visioned

  • into this past the auditing so i had so i was past 30 min knows i was feeling

  • pressure myself and I think ahead you know if you have 18 months to pass

  • everything so I had maybe I don't like a year before anything would expire so at

  • this point

  • uh-oh go into being a different video or something about the UH you know you

  • gotta find a job and have a secret sign it within so much time of passing the

  • exam but i need to look for a job so I need to find a job with the cpa there to
