11 FAILS AND 26 MONTHS LATER | My CPA Exam Journey

I failed FAR 5 times, AUD 3 times, REG once, and BEC 2 times. I learned so much about myself in the 26 months I studied full-time after leaving Big 4.
I used Becker, Ninja CPA, and Gleim. Good o' fashioned handwritten notes on paper finally helped me pass.
