Interview Transcript

Will: [00:00:00] And then I was gonna do like one module a day, I mean, pretty simple stuff. I, I wanted to kind of have an idea, cause when you go into the CPA and you start studying, like you don’t know the scope of what you’re learning and you don’t know, I think one reason SuperfastCPA is so good is because Nate gives you, you know, hours. It’s gonna take this many hours, it’s gonna take this many weeks, you know, you gotta do this many notes.

And, and that’s very helpful cause otherwise you’re just like, I gotta do this thing, doesn’t mean anything.

Logan: Welcome to another episode of the CPA Exam Experience podcast from SuperfastCPA. I’m Logan, and in today’s episode, you’re going to hear me talking with Will.

Now Will, unlike most people who are starting the CPA exam, had already heard about SuperfastCPA from one of his coworkers, and he actually purchased SuperfastCPA and his review course, which I think was Becker, at the same time. So he started right away with SuperfastCPA and the strategies that we talk [00:01:00] about.

And as you’ll see throughout this episode, he did really well. In fact, he actually typically only studied about an hour and a half. We recommend usually studying for two hours, but he usually only studied about an hour and a half each day. Did some of the mini sessions, studied a lot on the weekends, and he was able to pass all four exams, first try, in about eight weeks each. And that includes him taking a break between some of the exams when his son was born.

And I think this is a great episode because Will gives a lot of great tips about how he was able to pass the exams in that fashion, in just eight weeks for each exam, even taking a break when his son was born. So make sure you listen through for the whole episode because he has a lot of great tips.

Now before we dive into the episode, I wanna give everyone another reminder about our SuperfastCPA training webinar on superfastcpa.com. That is one hour where we will teach you the key ingredients to passing the CPA exam for free, so make sure you go watch that because that will be super helpful in your process.

And after you watch that, you’re going to want to learn more, so make sure you also check out becoming a SuperfastCPA PRO [00:02:00] member. PRO members get access to a lot of great stuff, including the PRO course where Nate explains in detail exactly how you’re supposed to pass the CPA exams.

It’s kind of like a much more in-depth version of our one hour webinar and Will does talk about that in the interview, so be looking for that. And SuperfastCPA PRO members also get access to our full versions of our walkthrough videos. I, for the last almost two years, maybe more like year and a half, have been working on multiple choice question walkthrough videos for almost every topic in the blueprint for each of the exams.

I’ve done almost every topic in FAR, almost every topic in audit. I am currently working on BAR and I’ve done quite a bit for REG and TCP, and I’m gonna come back and finish those at some later point.

So again, check out becoming a PRO member because they get access to the full versions of those multiple choice question walkthrough videos because the smaller versions are on YouTube. So if you want the full versions, become a PRO member.

Now with all that, let’s dive into the interview with Will.

Logan: Good morning Will, thanks for hopping on the call today. I’m really excited to have you on the podcast and I remember seeing [00:03:00] you in the forum, so I’m very excited to hear your story. How are you doing this morning?

Will: Good Logan, here we are, yeah, just uh, like I said earlier, taking in the view, chilling on the patio, drinking coffee.

Logan: Not having to worry about the exam anymore.

Will: No, it was definitely not, um, just kind of, just family and work, all you gotta worry about. Takes a lot off your plate.

Logan: Exactly. And we’ll, we’ll definitely dive into that.

How Will Got Into Accounting

Logan: So let’s just start with the kind of the beginning. So, you know, how did you get into accounting and how did that lead you to wanting to become a CPA?

Will: I had cousins in accounting and uh, it was like, you know, people, you see your family members do something,

Logan: Mm-hmm.

Will: They have a good life, they’ll do that and, uh, CPA just seemed like the natural thing to do. If you’re gonna do something, might as well do it right. Be the best at it.

Logan: Okay. So you had, you saw people who were successful as accountants and you’re like, well, if I’m gonna be an accountant then I should be a CPA, so that makes sense.

Pursued His CPA Even Though He Didn’t Need It for His Job

Logan: So [00:04:00] how did you dive into the CPA? Like how did your journey start with that?

Will: I delayed it for a couple years out of college cause I didn’t want to do it. I wanted to be done with studying and I didn’t need it. I’m in oil and gas, that’s my industry. Um, and you don’t need it, for that.

I mean, people will tell you, you don’t need it to move, but I figured in the remote work environment that I am in now, and then semi remote environment, also applying for jobs, whatever. Uh, it’s three magic letters and it just basically proves your competency and your intelligence without even having to do an interview, so I figured it’d be valuable in that sense and I don’t know, I, I really don’t know, it doesn’t help me in my career at all. I mean, it helps me in so far like that I’m studying accounting and I’m learning, you know, the periphery of what I do day to day like, you know, it’s good things to know.

But I probably could have just locked in and learned a lot more about oil and gas and been there for my career but, you know, this is the world we live in, right?

Logan: Right. And [00:05:00] the thing about it is, you know, who knows if you’ll stay in oil and gas forever and, uh, who knows what job you’ll need or want in the future. And, or even if you do stay in oil and gas, maybe that would just be that one small thing that would put you above somebody else who was pretty much the exact same as you, who knows?

Suggested by a Colleague From the Start to SuperfastCPA

Logan: Uh, so you kind of dive into it, so you took a couple years off of college and then you delve into the CPA. So what did you do to start? Did you get a review course? What, how did you start?

Will: Well, first I had to, I had to get the hours, you know, so I just did the random, the random college hours cause I didn’t have 150 yet.

The first thing I did when it was actually time to study, um, SuperfastCPA was recommended to me by a coworker. So I was, y’all were on my radar from the very beginning. I, I wanted to do it right, you know, and he, he had done it all the first time in a short time. He did it faster than I did, but I wasn’t, you know, whatever. He’s smarter than me, whatever. So he, he did it. He did it, yeah. And I was like, I’ll just do it this [00:06:00] way, you know? Uh, that’ll be the way to go. So I started with SuperfastCPA and then I did Becker as well.

Logan: Okay, so was SuperfastCPA, did you get SuperfastCPA before you even got a review course?

Will: Well, I bought them at the same time like it was just like a, it was like a Black Friday thing where I was just like, everything was like cheaper. I was like, okay, I don’t have an excuse right now. Like if I, if I don’t get ’em today, it means I’m just, uh, procrastinating for no reason. Exactly, yeah, procrastinating and wasting money so I was like, I’ll just send it. So I got ’em all in one day.

Logan: All right. That makes sense.

What His Colleague Said That Got Him Intrigued With SuperfastCPA

Logan: So, and your coworker, they, you were saying that they had used SuperfastCPA and passed them all. And what did they say to you that made you interested in SuperfastCPA?

Will: Uh, he, well, he talked about the integration with the phone and just making study time out of your dead time or you’re scrolling time because I’m like, we waste so much time on your phone. And so I was like, that’s really genius to like [00:07:00] turn, to turn like Instagram time into study time. I mean it, especially if you’re, uh, the kind of person who worries or like who doom scrolls or something like that.

Um, you could turn that into something productive. And so that really like, that really resonated with me. I actually ended up not scrolling as much this period, because that was just something I was trying to do. But I, I mean, I still found the SuperfastCPA tools helpful, like when I did, you know, get on my phone and stuff like that so, um, yeah, answer that question.

Logan: Yeah.

Started His CPA Study Journey With SuperfastCPA

Logan: And so you bought SuperfastCPA from the start, and we’ll talk about, you know, the app in a, in a little bit, but you started with Becker as well. And so did you just start with SuperfastCPA right from the beginning? Like did you actually use it right from the start or was it kind of a, an adjustment period?

Will: No, I was, uh, very intentional about implementing it. I wanted to do it right, you know, didn’t wanna fiddle around, so I bought the SuperfastCPA and then for a couple weeks, I think I’m, yeah, [00:08:00] like a couple weeks I waited and kind of sat on it. I did the review course, which was pretty helpful, um.

Logan: The PRO course?

Will: I was like, yeah, the PRO Course, the PRO course, I watched all those videos so that, and then I like made a plan of how I would do it and kinda wrote out what I would do. I don’t know, sometimes it’s easier to do something if you’ve kind of visioned it out already.

So that’s kind of what I did like for a few mornings I just did the PRO course. And then I actually began doing the questions first. Planting seeds, you know, yada yada, that Nate talks about.

Logan: Yeah. Yeah, and, and actually I’m curious about that.

Planned His Study After Watching the PRO Course

Logan: So you had the, so you had the PRO course, you watched that, and what did you do for like, the plan? Did you lay out like daily goals or like what you wanted to do every day? Like, I’m just curious what you did to kind of prepare before you dove into doing everything.

Will: Um, I had initially, I mean the stuff I did initially, I actually ended up not doing, but I think it was just helpful to [00:09:00] like, have an idea of something. So I had like an Excel sheet where I would like type all my notes and so I had like that already. And then I was gonna do like one module a day, I mean, pretty simple stuff.

I, I wanted to kind of have an idea cause when you go into the CPA and you start studying, like you don’t know the scope of what you’re learning and you don’t know, I think one reason SuperfastCPA is so good is because Nate gives you, you know, hours. It’s gonna take this many hours, it’s gonna take this many weeks, you know, you gotta do this many notes. And, and that’s very helpful cause otherwise you’re just like, I gotta do this thing, doesn’t mean anything.

Logan: Mm-hmm. Yeah, and who knows for how long? I, I found that helpful too. Like, uh, when I was doing it, I found setting kind of a timeline like, I try not to push people too much to be like, you have to do it in six weeks, you know? But I do think that having that goal of like six to eight weeks or something like that, like something concrete, can really help kind of motivate you and keep you focused, [00:10:00] and I’m guessing that you found something similar.

The Time to Adopt to the SuperfastCPA Strategies

Logan: And so you started studying with the questions and how long did it, did, was it, did it click right away or was it kind of a kind of difficult to do that process from the start with multiple choice questions first?

Will: No, that’s actually, it is another reason I like SuperfastCPA cause it resonated with how I would like study in college. I was not a diligent studier in college, but I could get away with like, you know, last minute cramming basically doing questions first cause it is such a, it’s, I mean, it’s a valid way to study.

You’re not really learning the material for life. You’re just learning how to answer this kind of question, you know, and so it’s, uh, yeah, it, I thought, I thought it was a, a very aware way to study and so, it resonated with my experience and it, it made a lot of sense.

Will’s Daily Study Session

Logan: And so did you do everything right from the start? You’re doing MCQs, you’re doing mini sessions, studying on the weekends, that stuff?

Will: [00:11:00] Yes. Yeah. I wanted those, those are the big three, right? So I did MCQs, definitely do that first. If I had a two hour study session, that would be an hour and a half. If I did an hour and a half study session, I would take up pretty much 75% of whatever study session is doing questions for the first time. And then, you know, obviously you’re, you’re note taking while you go. So that, I mean, I guess I would consider that as part of, I could just walk you through like a day.

Logan: Yeah. Yeah, I would love to hear everything.

Will: So for, let’s just be realistic. A lot of the time my, my study sessions were like an hour and a half in the morning, not two, and I would go through the questions for whatever module it was.

If it was a 50 question module, I might get through half of it, you know, if it’s a 12 question module, maybe I’ll go through two. Um, go on Quizlet while I go. Typing out whatever I see. Now, it doesn’t even have to be something I go back and read later, it’s just the process of lingering on a question, looking at it, thinking about it [00:12:00] just for that much longer helps, um, and then you move on.

And then at the end of that session, sometimes there’s a 30 question, but sometimes it’s a 20 question mini test that I would do. And then throughout the day, um, you know, maybe not till lunch, when I think about it again, you could do a, a thing on your phone. And at the end of the day, do another one. Maybe I’ll go through the Quizlet once I did that day, but maybe not. And then, If I was feeling anxious about it, like before bed, just do 15 to 20, you know, so during the week, that’s pretty light. I mean, that’s not very much.

And then of course, on the weekends, hunker down at like Starbucks or something. And then, uh, for like four to six hours knock out maybe a module, and then TBS, yeah.

Logan: And so would you, uh, do your studying in the morning, like your hour and a half or so? In the mornings?

Will: Yeah, before work.

Logan: Yeah. Okay.

Luckily Studying Was Manageable With His Wife’s Help

Logan: And, um, just curious, like you, uh, you don’t have [00:13:00] to get too personal, but like, what was your life situation at the time? And did morning sessions make it a lot more manageable? Like did you have family?

What, how was, what was work? Like Yeah. What did that look like?

Will: Yeah So I started in, uh, December of 23, and at that time I had just my daughter and she was about, um, I guess she was, was she two yet? No, she was not. Anyway, but she was sleeping good at that time so I could rely on her, you know what I’m saying?

Logan: That’s good. Yeah.

Will: Yeah, at that point, I’m not like waking up all the time or whatever, so. That was probably the easiest point, studying for FAR. And then I guess through another point, I guess for REG and for TCP, I had my son, William, but my mom is a, I’m sorry, my wife is a stay-at-home mom, so, you know, it’s like in the mornings, like she can handle it if I’m studying, I don’t know it’s as far as like you’re saying, does it help to have like evenings free, like absolutely, yeah.

Logan: Yeah.

Will: Yeah.

Logan: Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. You’re able to actually [00:14:00] like, get your studying done, then go to work, and then come home and actually spend time with your kids slash kids and wife.

Re-Review Sessions And Doing Them At Your Own Pace

Logan: Um, and for the re-review in the mornings, so you would always do like 75% your planting the seeds, right? Um, and then you would do your re-review and was that like, did you always do re-review or was that something that, that wasn’t every day? I’m just curious.

Will: When you say review, like you mean the questions at the end?

Logan: Yeah, the review quiz after you’ve done planting the seeds in the morning.

Will: It always, it felt like a failed study session if I didn’t get to that. Of course it wasn’t, I would say like, that’s actually the biggest thing is to just not beat yourself up when that doesn’t happen. But it was a, it was definitely a complete study session that I felt good about when I could do.

But it’s stressful, I mean, when you go through that many, especially if you’re, I, I’m, I consider myself pretty good at taking tests, but it’s still stressful like especially FAR, it’s like you’re [00:15:00] just boom, boom, boom, boom, and then at the end you have to test yourself on it, and it’s just stressful.

And so, um, I, I don’t know, probably not as stressful as like working on an oil rig or like having a, you know, on a coal mine or something.

It’s like, it’s obviously, it’s like I’m just being a baby, but, uh, it’s, you know, if you don’t do it, it’s fine. But definitely a successful morning study session, it’s like with that 20 to 30 questions at the end, maybe 15 if you really don’t have time cause like, because you want, you kind of wanna have time to review what you did on the review.

So it’s like, it, it, you have to cut it up at some point, you gotta go to work.

Logan: Yeah. Yeah, I, I actually talk to people about that a lot. That there’s really two parts to the 30 minute review or however long it is. There’s the, actually doing the review quiz, but then you need to actually have time to, to go over what you did and especially the things that you got wrong cause otherwise there’s kind of no point to doing it.

Like, uh, you’re missing kind of like the most important piece, which is getting stronger in the things [00:16:00] that you are struggling with.

So the reason I bring that up is because exactly what you said, if it takes you doing 15 questions instead of 30, then do that so that you can actually still review them. I, I personally did most of the time, uh, for like my last three exams. So after my first exam, I did 20 questions every day. Like I almost never did 30 during the 30 minutes because I just, I was too slow to be able to do that many questions and review them, so I like what you said there, um.

Will: I, I read that on the forum once and I was like, that just gave me permission. I felt so much better about it, you know, about just kind of, you’re just like, you know, you really can do it with just 20 questions. Maybe that should be the new guideline, you know, but.

Logan: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think that, um, it’s a good goal to get up to 30 just for speed on test day, but I think that it’s okay to build up to that instead of starting, like trying to make yourself do it right from the start. Because so many people, like seriously, countless people at this point are like, I [00:17:00] can’t do it in 30 minutes. I can’t, like, it’s, it’s too much, I can’t do 30 questions and so, yeah.

Learning from the MCQs

Logan: Uh, and just curious with kind of like the whole morning session, what did it look like for you to like learn from the questions? Like you kind of mentioned Quizlet and stuff like that, but what would you do when you were learning from questions for the first time, and then what did your review look like as well?

Will: Becker’s nice because they have videos explaining concepts, so I would not watch the, the long videos. Skip that, skip movie time. But when you’re actually doing the questions for the first several, I don’t know, for the first several questions they’ll have whatever the guy being like, well. He’ll tell you like in a four, three or four minute thing and that those are actually very helpful the three or four minutes, do that three times, and I would consider that part of your multiple choice question times.

Also, always read the descriptions, explanations of everything, what you got right and what you [00:18:00] got wrong. Uh, it’s just, uh, that’s just the fastest way to understand it. I think the, the descriptions for every question, I mean, that’s, that’s your reading right there.

Logan: Mm-hmm.

Will: You know.

Logan: Yeah.

Will: Lemme think, what else. Did I, I, I, I sometimes read the textbook. I would like kind of just drill down, you know, you kind of treat that as if I really don’t understand something. If I’m getting to the end of a, of a module and I’m still not getting a concept, you know, just drill down, read the, read the textbook, read a page, it’s, it’s not that bad so, and that would consider that part of the planting the seeds.

Logan: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I think that, um, I, I like what you said there because, you know, we constantly are saying, you know, don’t read the textbook, don’t watch the video lectures, but what we really mean by that is that shouldn’t be your focus.

But I like that you’re saying, you know, you are, they called skill builder videos. I think those might be what you’re talking about where like the, they have like those small, small videos to explain like one concept.

Uh, and that’s much more helpful than watching a 20 minute [00:19:00] lecture going over like 10 different concepts. And then for the textbook, a lot of times those can give you a little bit of extra context, even though the questions really have most of what you need because that’s more likely what it’s gonna look like on test day. But sometimes if you need to understand something, the textbook is, is great. So I, I really like what you’re saying there.

Found that Doing the MCQs are the Most Beneficial Way to Study

Logan: And so, you know, you have your morning sessions and I think you kind of mentioned it, but what did your studying look like throughout the rest of the day?

You kind of said it was kind of light, so did you listen to audio notes, mini quizzes, all that stuff?

Will: Audio notes? Not really. I, I, on FAR, I, I use them a little bit like on a run. Like if I was just feeling stressed, but then I’m just like not really thinking about it. I don’t know, I have a hard time focusing on accounting notes, you know, like, oh, is a bird,

Logan: Yeah. Yeah.

Will: It’s just a hard thing. Um, I, I think I read through the PDF, the PDF notes.

I think I read through that once for [00:20:00] FAR. But, uh, questions is the way to go for me. I, I thought that was, that was the most stress relieving because that’s what you’re gonna do on the test, is questions.

And so that’s what I felt, that’s what I felt was the most, and the way that you guys have questions on the app is like you do the question and you read the explanation.

So it does feel, and it’s, it’s, it’s one and the other, you know, it’s a little mystery and then mystery solved. Mm-hmm.

Logan: Yeah. We, we purposely make them pretty straightforward, but you’re still kind of getting the concept and so, so you didn’t do too much audio notes, didn’t do too much review notes, uh.

Will: Well before the test, I would, before the test I would.

Logan: Yeah, okay.

Will: Like do, do 48 hour cram session, I would feel guilty if I didn’t do it. So maybe on some level it like just pierced into my brain, you know, like hypnotically, like while I was sleeping after, you know, just kind of like listening to it. But it was just not the, it’s not the focus.

It was just kind of something I did up towards the end to cram.

Logan: Yeah, okay.

Using the SuperfastCPA Mini Quizzes to Gauge His Knowledge

Logan: And maybe we’ll talk a little bit about your [00:21:00] cram session at the end too, but for the mini set, mini quizzes, excuse me, how many, like how often were you doing those throughout the day? Were you doing a ton or was it just like a few throughout the day? I’m just curious what those looked like.

Will: Um, I would feel good if I did a few at night just kind of to see where I was at. It was more like a pulse and take, take my pulse. Like if I’m doing these and I’m getting, you know, less than 60%. And I just started, no biggie. If I’m getting closer to the test, you know, and it’s the end of the day, I’m doing 15, and at the end of the night I’m, I’m doing all right.

You know, it’s, it’s kind of, maybe, maybe it’s a gauge of how hard I needed to study this weekend, but as far as like during the day, I would, I didn’t think about studying very much.

Logan: Right.

Will: Mm-hmm.

The Benefit He Had Starting His CPA Study Journey With SuperfastCPA

Logan: So for you, it seems like the biggest, um, benefit of SuperfastCPA was the studying in the morning and kind of like the strategy of how to approach it with the multiple choice questions first, and then just having a little bit of supplement, [00:22:00] like when you needed it throughout the day, but sounds like that was kind of mainly what really worked for you? What would you say? Because I, I typically ask, what was your main struggle before finding SuperfastCPA, but you started with SuperfastCPA, so.

Will: The PRO course like that was my, that was my framework the beginning.

Logan: That was like how you started, so what was, what would you say were the biggest benefits of getting SuperfastCPA from the start? Like what do you think it changed about your perspective for the CPA exam?

Will: Well, I would’ve wasted a lot of time watching videos. I would’ve done it the right way, according to Becker.

Logan: Mm-hmm.

Will: You know, but when, I mean, it helps cause it’s like they, they say you’re exam day ready I wasn’t technically exam day ready for any test.

Logan: No, I wasn’t either.

Will: You know, but I, but I got done, I got it done quicker, I think.

Um, so I guess I would say, um, what exam day ready looked like was very different with SuperfastCPA than [00:23:00] with, and I did use que like I, I like, especially, especially for FAR, you know. If somebody’s like not sure how to study, like I would just maybe buy, you know, like 1, 1, 1 thing. I got all four cause they were on sale but I would just get like just one module of, of SuperfastCPA and try it out.

Cause like for FAR that was the most, um, just facts with math and so to practice that over and over again, I, I got lazier as I went on, but with FAR I was, I was using questions a lot more like that was just throughout the day.

Um, let me see, Logan, what was your question again?

How Will Would’ve Studied If He Didn’t Find Out About SuperfastCPA

Logan: Um, like was was your, what benefit did SuperfastCPA give you from the start? Like how, I’m guessing that, let me kind of rephrase that a little bit. I’m guessing that before you heard about SuperfastCPA from your coworker, were you planning on just doing the normal way? Like were you kind of preparing to be like, I’m gonna watch all the videos and all that stuff, like [00:24:00] what was your mindset before you found out about SuperfastCPA?

Will: I guess I was just gonna do it by the book because I hadn’t been begun a study process yet. I just probably been whatever Becker was like, welcome to Becker study, blah, blah, blah, here you go. Because all my, like I said, I, I just kind of wanted to do what everybody else did. I didn’t wanna do it a, a special, unique way, but you know, my, uh, you know, it was like, okay, well, there’s a way to do it super fast, you know.

Logan: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

Took a Long Time to Get His FAR Score

Logan: So, uh, we haven’t really gotten to talk about this very much yet. But, you know, we’ve talked about your process, how did the exams go? So you did, you take FAR at the end of 2023? Is that right?

Will: No beget, when did I do it? Um, beginning of 24.

Logan: Okay. So, so you were doing this whole process during like, the worst possible time to take the exams as far as the, uh, release dates, you know, uh, like did you have to wait like five months to get your FAR score?

Will: It was agonizing, yeah.

Logan: Yeah.

Will: It was, it was really terrible. So I [00:25:00] took it February 12th, I think it was 24, and then I had to wait until, uh, it was like June 24th, 2024 to get my, to get my score. And so I didn’t study, well, actually I did, I started studying for AUD. Did I actually take audit in that time? Yeah, I think, um, I started studying for audit before I even got my FAR score, and I’d waited like several months so. Once I found out I passed FAR, it was like, uh, I got an 80, once I found, I felt like you could do any of them at that point, but up until that point I was like, I got all my FAR studying was in vain. All my, all my audit studying is in vain, like I just.

Logan: Yeah.

Will: But like once you pass one, you’re like, okay,

Logan: Yeah.

Will: It feels like you passed ’em all.

Logan: And, especially with that, those release dates in 2024, it was, especially that first one that was just. I remember being annoyed all the time for people because I was like, man, they have to wait. If they took it in January, they had to [00:26:00] wait almost six months.

Passed All Four on First Try

Logan: Uh, so like, and did you, so did you take, so you took FAR and then you were studying for audit slash, you hadn’t taken audit yet by the time you took FAR. I mean, found out your score for FAR. Uh, and then what did it look like after that? Because the score releases were a little bit better after that. Like more like every two or three months. So did you pass all of them first try after that? Like how did the rest go?

Will: Yeah. First try all four. Four for four.

Logan: Awesome.

Will: I’m happy about that. That’s all I cared about honestly. I didn’t care about how long it took me to study. I just wanted to do it one and done for each one.

So for FAR I got an 80, audit 83. No, audit 85. REG 83, and then TCP 86. And, uh, just smooth sailing the whole time was

Logan: Yeah, those are fantastic scores.

Will: Yeah, man.

Got Lazier Studying for TCP But Still Passed

Logan: I, I, remember seeing your posts in the forum and, uh, I just thought that was. I thought it was awesome, especially like you, so you [00:27:00] actually, a little bit earlier you mentioned that you kind of got a little bit lazier with time, but your scores got better, I would say.

So then that, that just means that you had the process like totally nailed down, uh, yeah.

Will: Yeah, but it is, uh, more efficient, I guess, but I wouldn’t even, even like with TCP, I would, I wouldn’t even, I would kind of wish I had done that quest, like that test, that one just felt like a review of REG in, in a way. So I was not even studying every day for TCP, I don’t know if, I don’t wanna be like spreading, you know, false information TCP

Logan: Yeah.

Will: But that, that’s really truly what happened for me and then I wouldn’t even study every day on the weekend. TCP was, but then again, when TCP came around, when the test actually came around, I was like, I didn’t do enough. It was like judgment day.

Logan: Yeah,

Will: I was like biting my nails and, uh, but no, this one’s fine.

Experience with TCP

Logan: So I, I’m actually really curious about, I feel like something I want to talk to people more about on the podcast as time goes on is their experience with the discipline exams cause, you know, it’s kind of still a new thing. So [00:28:00] what was your experience with TCP? I mean, that one has by far the highest pass rate. Did you find it pretty easy, or what was that like?

Will: Um, yes, you’re right. I, I, I did research which had the highest pass rate before I took it cause I wanted to do it the easy way.

Logan: Yeah.

Will: As I think you should with most things, do it the easy way if you can. It has like a 77% pass rate as compared to 40 for some of the others, so why would anybody do the others? And then even like the AICPA is like, well it’s skewed because of tax professionals. Like, no, it’s not. I think it’s because, I think it’s because it’s a review of regulations.

And, uh, so if you can get REG under your belt, TCP follows pretty nicely. You’re using a lot of the same concepts and there’s no math really. I don’t think there’s any math. I mean, you’re doing like tax returns, but that’s more advanced organizing, you know, a little bit of math.

Um, so as far as my experience with TCP, the study was a lot easier. The tests, of course, they’re all hard. I took four hours, I took the full time on every test. It [00:29:00] took four hours for all of them, and they’re all grueling and none of them are easy, but I guess I got the highest score on it, so.

Logan: And yeah, I think that’s probably true with TCP as far as what you were saying that, cause I’ve been making material for the discipline exams now, and uh, I, when I was making material for TCP, it felt really similar to REG like I was like, I swear I covered this already in REG but for BAR and ISC, I don’t think it’s quite the same, it’s not the same continuation.

Like with BAR, I think it’s basically takes FAR concepts and doesn’t just expand on them, but like adds like way more difficult concepts and some stuff from BEC. And then ISC is kind of similar to auditing, but it’s just a totally different realm, like totally like IT and stuff like that.

But TCP really is just like very similar to REG, so I think that makes, I think that makes [00:30:00] sense that it would be a little bit easier than the other two because it’s like, especially if you’ve taken REG, then that means you’ve already done a lot of the prep work for TCP.

So that’s cool to hear your experience with that. I, I wanna talk to somebody who took BAR, but I, very few people have taken BAR cause I, I think it’s the hardest exam.

Will: Yeah, do it, the do the easy thing. I mean, it’s, you have to do it. They, they make it so hard for everything else, you know, the CPA exam. It’s just do, just do the easy thing if you can on this one. It’s like, it’s not a work of art. You’re just taking a test. Do the easy way.

Logan: Right. Uh, uh, I think that’s a good idea, and maybe we’ll just tell everybody to take TCP.

Thoughts About Taking TCP First

Will: I think, I think going back, if I could do it first, I would take TCP first and then I would do REG, because then you’re like, if you’re, if you’re not in the habit of taking tests again, it’s like to do FAR was like you’re doing math again and you’re doing like the hardest, most expansive in scope and so, and then, I was just, you’re just stressed out, right?

But TCP, it takes less time to [00:31:00] prepare so if you fail the first time, maybe you take, you know, but you take TCP the first time, you’re just kind of getting back into the habit of studying and then by the time you get to REG right after that, you’re like, you’ve already been kind of studying for, that’s my, that’s kind of what I wish I’d done, a little bit. I mean, it’s nice to get FAR out of the way, but it’s first far so expansive.

Logan: So just to make sure I’m understanding what you’re saying there, you feel like for yourself it might’ve been better to do TCP then REG then maybe FAR or audit instead of doing FAR first, is that what you’re saying?

Will: Yeah, like right out the gate it was, it was kind of nutty, but yeah, TCP was super easy. Yep, I, no, it wasn’t super easy. It was a hard test, but it was like comparatively as far as studying went, as far as studying went, it was much easier.

Logan: Yeah. Yeah. And, and I, and it also was your last exam too, uh, which I, I felt somewhat similar with REG was my last exam. I did work in tax at the time, but I definitely feel like I was at my laziest when I was doing REG, [00:32:00] like, it kind of like I was, instead of doing two hours, which I’d been like super strict with, with the other ones, with REG, I was studying less, but like getting through the material more quickly cause I just, I had the whole process down and I think that’s seems to be what happened for you. You just like had it down by the, by that point.

Will: Yeah.

Found That as Time Went On, Studying Became Easier

Logan: Um, and I’m actually curious, like, kind of talking about that, do you feel like your skills for preparing for the exams, like, I mean obviously, but at the same time, do you feel like they improved a lot, but as time went on? Like did you find yourself just easily getting through multiple choice questions because you were so good at it?

Will: Um, I mean, certainly within a module, that’s how it goes, you know, and I, I guess you could say on a, on a macro level for each. I keep calling the big ones modules as well as the little modules, modules like I can’t, I can’t think of, section, I think section word I’m looking for.

Logan: Yeah.

Will: As far as sections go, yeah, I did notice a progression where it got easier, but [00:33:00] also I think FAR just might be the hardest section. And so everything after that is like falling action. Um, yeah, so yes, to answer your question.

Logan: Okay.

Studying for the Sims on Weekends

Logan: Uh, and then kind of to change gears a little bit, you mentioned this, but what did your weekends look like? So you said you would do, you know, you’d go to Starbucks study like four to six hours. Uh, what was your strategy for the sims when you were studying on the weekends?

Will: Uh, I usually try to get through maybe just two to three, even two to three sims and, uh, just get familiar. Know how they’re gonna trick you. There’s only so many ways they can trick you, and there’s, it seems like there’s a lot of sims, but maybe once you’ve done 10, you’ve kind of done ’em all.

Logan: Mm-hmm.

Will: There’s the, there’s the ones that use Excel. There’s the ones that are basically just multiple choice. Those are gift, whenever you get the one that just multiple choice, have you seen, like, those are great.

Um, so yeah, I just get through like 10 and then you’ve done ’em all at that point. [00:34:00] And then I would also use it to get through extra modules maybe on Sunday, something like that.

There’s no rules. It’s just kind of get, just get it done, you know, just get, just get everything you can done. It’ll give you a completion bar, of course, you ignore the videos.

Logan: Yeah, with the, with the sims from what you’re saying there, it was a, it was more of a focus on learning how to do the different types of sims rather than seeing every single sim in your review course. Is that right?

Will: More or less, I did not do all of them. That was another way, I guess. But you gotta just, you know, get through ’em and they’re still, when you do a multiple choice question, it is, it’s one to one. It’s question and answer, but the sims are more abstract and they play off each other. The questions interact, so you’re kind of getting a more 3D feel of whatever the concept is.

Note Taking Process

Logan: Yeah. And how did you take, no, I guess just in general, how did you take notes? You kind of mentioned it already, but just to kind of hit on, and [00:35:00] again, did you make flashcards? Did you, you made notes in Excel, just how did that all that look as far as when you were doing MCQs and when you were doing sims?

Will: So I had a sims window open here, my two monitor sims window, my Quizlet. And then the Quizlet, I guess it’s a flashcard, but the way I would write them is not really intelligible as a flashcard, you know? It could just be, you know, just write, just write what you see, you know. Just write what you see.

I’m not very, I’ve never been good about using flashcards, but I think the practice of just kind of wiring it in your head one more way, you know, you’ve seen it, you’ve typed it, you’ve read it twice. That’s, that’s more, uh, that’s deeper, that’s been planted in your brain a little bit deeper, so. Might, yeah, don’t worry about having good grammar or anything like that, so.

Logan: Yeah.

Will: I always kind of wonder like, am I a copyright infringement on Becker? I kind of thought about that sometimes I’m just like putting there. It was literally word for word, so onto quizlet, so.

Logan: I’m, I’m sure [00:36:00] that thousands of people have done that at this point.

Will: Yeah, probably.

Logan: Yeah.

Uh, so, so for you flashcards, it sounds like were less of like a, trying to make your own flashcards and more about just having it as one more way of having that information in your brain, like one more way to help it be drilled in, is that right?

Will: A way of dwelling on the question in a more intentional way. Just a little bit longer in a way that feels like you did something.

Logan: Okay. Okay, that makes sense.

Experience On Using Flashcards App

Logan: And uh, you’ve mentioned Excel as well, did you also have an Excel sheet where you took notes or did equations, or was it mainly with quiz, Quizlet?

Will: Yeah. Excel, I that was for about a week and it’s just ugly qui, Quizlet actually looks nice, so I switched to that.

Logan: And just curious, like I personally don’t love Quizlet, because I feel like it has a ton of ads. Was there, is that, was that your experience? I, I’ve always liked BrainScape just cause it doesn’t have any ads, but does Quizlet have a whole bunch of ads? I’m just curious what your experience was with that?

Will: Yeah, I use an ad blocker, but uh.

Logan: That makes sense.

Will: Probably [00:37:00] BrainScape is better cause when, when actually, there was a time when my Ad blocker stopped working. It was just like, this is disgust or you like, you go through like three things, it’s like go to Taco Bell. And

Logan: Mm-hmm.

Will: What?

Logan: Yep. Yeah.

Will: Every like three things you click, it’s like a page full screen, yeah, so Quizlet. Yeah, quizlet stinks actually, so you use BrainScape.

Logan: Uh, yeah, I wasn’t saying that like you shouldn’t be using Quizlet, but I was just curious what your experience was with that. And it makes sense that it wasn’t too bad if you were using an ad blocker, but I have, when I’ve reviewed other, uh, like in the coaching program, I’ll review people making their flashcards. Uh, and if they’re using Quizlet, I’m just like, there’s like, ad here, ad here, ad here, ad like, it’s so, I feel like it’s so distracting.

So use an ad blocker if you’re using Quizlet. Take that from, take that from Will, uh, or use BrainScape. Um, and then, uh, so I think, I mean, we’ve covered a lot of stuff. We’ve covered a lot of, a lot of the basics really.

Celebrated Drinking at a Local Brewery After Every Exam

Logan: Uh, now I do wanna ask about something I remember seeing in the forum. Did you have a tradition for [00:38:00] exam day? Like, and, and also I think you had a tradition for when you passed your exams, is that right?

Will: Oh yeah, I just, I just made a little bit where I would like, I just thought it would be funny to be like, you know, an accountant who’s like so uptight, you know, enjoys 12 ounces of Miller Light whenever he passes the CPA exam.

It’s like, that’s my, finally time to let loose, you know, so that was my, that was my bit and then of course, every time I drank more beer, so by the end it was,

Logan: It was more by the, it was like 20 or 40 ounces or something

Will: Yeah, it was like something, it was like three beers, like by the end so yeah, by the time

Logan: Did you actually do it?

Will: Of course, but of course I also drank. Yeah, I drink, I drink, you know, I, I mean, I drink a beer like every day, you know, as, uh, so, of course when I, when I celebrated, I was in town, uh, with the fam.

So there’s like a, there’s a really good local brewery called True Vine in Tyler, Texas. If you ever go there. It’s one of my favorites, Mermaids and Unicorns. Yeah, so that’s what I get, Mermaids and Unicorns, [00:39:00] at least 36 ounces, let’s just put it that way.

Logan: At least, if not, if not more.

Will: Yeah.

Logan: Nice that, yeah, I, I remember you, I remember you saying that in the, in the forum. And I remember Nate, like, he like, he was like that actually made me laugh, like out loud when he read that. Uh, but like the first time that you mentioned it.

Will’s Tradition to Spend the Night Before Test Day At His Parents

Logan: Uh, and did you have a tradition for test day as well? Like did you have anything that you did on exam day that you always did the same? I’m just curious what exam day would look like for you.

Will: Yeah. Um, I don’t know why, so I, I live in a small town in north Texas and the nearest, the nearest testing center would be somewhere in Dallas or you know, the metroplex.

And I’m not, like I wasn’t trying to drive an hour the morning of, that just seemed like now I gotta go with, I mean Dallas traffic, I’m sure it’s probably the same every big city, but Dallas traffic is like, uh, stinks.

So I would go spend the night at home in East Texas in Tyler and then just take a, take a test there. And so that was kind of like my, I had like a little [00:40:00] pilgrimage and then I get to, you know, I see mom and dad and my sister and you know, it, it was kind of like de-stressing in that sense to go see them and then take a test.

So it’s actually kind of something I look forward to, you know, just for one night and then come back the next, it’s only a couple hours away, so that was my tradition.

Logan: I like

Will: And I did that for all of ’em, yeah.

Logan: You did the same thing for all of ’em. So you would, and did you go yourself or did you bring your family as well? Like it, was it like a family visit or was it just you?

Will: On, on, on the last one it was, on the last one we all came, but usually it would just be, you know, Sunday night after the 48 hour cram session was over, you know, drive to Tyler. Put on a book or some music and just relax, you know, be done.

Actually, I wouldn’t always be done with studying like so, but, but that was the idea was to be done by studying. By the time I, by the time I go and then the next morning you take the test.

Logan: Right.

Doing the 48 Hour Mega Cram Session

Logan: And, and for the 48 hour cram session, did you do kind of what we recommend where you just did like six to eight hours, [00:41:00] like for two days? What did that look like?

Will: I mean it’s miserable, but it works.

Logan: Yeah.

Will: Just exactly what you say.

For the simulated exams, I would save those until the very end. I would save those, I would not do it on Becker’s timeline.

So Becker has, for each, um, I guess there’s sections within each section where they have, you know, modules, they need to come up with better words for this, right? Or maybe I just need to learn them but I would there, there would be like mini exams and then there would be simulated exams, and I would save those all for the last week. I would do them all in the last week.

And then my 48 hour cram session would be doing a simulated exam on Saturday and a simulated exam on Sunday. And I would review the results of both of those exams and kind of fill in the blanks with where I was missing stuff.

That was my 48 hour cram session so SE one, SE two, and then review, review, review.

Logan: Okay.

Doing the Simulated Exams as Practice for the Real Exams

Logan: That makes, uh, and yeah, that, that’s something that like people can choose to do. But did you, did you like doing it that way? Like, did you find that it was helpful to do the [00:42:00] simulated exams instead of kind of just doing, uh, more review quizzes and sims and things like that?

Will: Um, I think it did help at a, you know, it’s like you’re, you’re, you’re doing the thing. It, it’s almost like you’re borrowing some of the stress from the next day.

You know, it’s like Michael Kane, you know, the actor. He’s like, he’s like, the rehearsal is the work and performance is the relaxation. And so if you can kind of, you know, apply that to studying and testing, you know, do have a, have a really stressful and hard Saturday and Sunday so that when Monday comes around, you know, this is the third test you’ve taken in three days. You know, you’re, you’re, you feeling a little bit more relaxed. Performance is relaxation, you know.

Logan: Yeah. Right. Exactly. And, uh, he’s a great actor. Uh, as far as I, I actually think that that’s, that is a big reason behind what we say for the 48 hour cram session. Like whether you do simulated exams or you just do like tons of multiple choice questions and simulations.

You’ve been doing [00:43:00] so many multiple choice questions and simulations leading up to taking the exam, that hopefully that takes a lot of the stress off, like actually being at the exam cause you’ve done this hundreds of times at that point.

Breezes Through the MCQs on Test Day Due to the Constant Re-Reviews

Logan: Uh, and did you, did you find that to be the case? Like when you were at the exam, did you feel like I’ve got this, or were you nervous? I’m just curious.

Will: Um, so yes, for, I’ll say for everything on the exams, for the multiple choice questions, I was shocked at how easy the multiple choice questions were on FAR. When I got there, on all of them, I would, but, but like FAR as my first test, I’m like, this is so easy. Don’t get lulled, don’t get lulled into a false sense of security cause the TBS come around and they kick your butt just as hard.

But as far as the multiple choice goes, you’ve done so many, you’ve been practicing. Just knock ’em out, knock ’em out as fast as you can, and then get to those TBS cause those are as hard as they, those are as hard as they ever will be.

I mean, so that’s, that’s what kicks your butt and they’ll make you feel like you failed and you’re a failure and you have no future.

Logan: I, [00:44:00] yeah, I would, I would say, uh, task-based simulations are typically the thing that even when people are doing SuperfastCPA, they’ll still come back and really beat them up cause they didn’t, maybe, didn’t prepare for them very well, or, uh, or they were, they were only focused on the multiple choice questions.

And then, you know, they didn’t save time for the sims or something. Uh, but you were obviously able to make it through, although it took kind of like your full four hours every time but you know, that doesn’t matter, um.

Will: Still.

Finished the CPA Exams Around a Year, Even Took a Big Break

Logan: I mean that in the end, you passed all four exams, first try over the course of what, how many months was it? Like eight months or something like that?

Will: I took a big break whenever we had Will, young William, my son, um, the third. Anyway, and his social security number, by the way? No, so he’s the, uh, I started in February, yeah, started in February 23 and then I just finished, when did I just finished? I get my last score, this is.

Logan: It was pretty recently.

Will: Pretty recently in [00:45:00] May. I guess my last test was in April, so a little over a year, but I took a big break. I took a big break in between, um, audit and REG so there you go. You can, you can do it faster, but you know, what’s the rush?

Logan: Yeah. And, and I mean, you know, taking out those months that you were taking a break, you still did it pretty dang quickly when, when you consider how much time you were actually studying, um, so I mean, that’s awesome.

Will: Eight weeks. I used full, I used eight weeks every time.

Logan: Eight, weeks for every, okay, that, that, and that’s a good timeline. I think that between six to eight weeks is plenty for most people if they’re really, like actually doing the process fully, you know.

Will: Well, and you can take like a break for like spring break or something, so I, I did that a few times.

Logan: Yeah. And so you would take a break from studying completely, or would you still kind of have light studying?

Will: During, like, so, uh, I, um, like I studied during Christmas one year, I just, I studied during, you know, the spring, which we, we did a [00:46:00] spring break trip during both of those times, and I was like not doing it. And I guess, yeah, I, it would be like five days you just don’t study. No biggie, pick up where you left off.

Logan: And you felt like it wasn’t a big deal because you had the process down, is that right?

Will: Yes.

Logan: Yeah. Uh, I think that we’ve pretty much hit everything. You have an awesome story, Will.

Top Tips for People Still Struggling with the CPA Exams

Logan: What would be your top two or three tips that you would give to people who are still going through the exams?

Will: Okay, if you’re still going through the exams, uh, if you don’t get your questions in that morning, don’t beat yourself up. Don’t beat yourself up. It’s fine, you know, just do some more questions during the day and then make a plan the next morning to get up 20 minutes earlier so you can get those 20 questions in. Just don’t beat yourself up.

I feel like that’s the worst part of studying is the anxiety that you put on yourself, so stop torturing yourself. Um, weekends are huge so, you know, wake up seven o’clock, lock in, go to Starbucks, okay, [00:47:00] get your black coffee on the app so you get free refills.

And, um, also, you know, I was saying like, just like, have little things, have little things that you look forward to, like getting away,

Logan: Have rituals.

Will: Yeah, have like, have rituals and, uh, but make, make, make your weekend study sessions, uh, really count cause that’s, that’s gonna be the difference between passing and failing. Those are my two big things.

If you get, I mean, if you get those, don’t, don’t torture yourself and then lock in on the weekends like that’s, that’s so much of it.

Logan: Right, and, and actually I would say just one thing that I’ll of add to your first point. I, I have seen that happen a lot where even though people are using SuperfastCPA, they really beat themselves up over different parts of the process and then they get like majorly stressed about it and then they’re too stressed to study or they’re not really learning very well when they’re studying cause they’re too stressed.

So just try to, yeah, of course the CPA exam is stressful. [00:48:00] I can’t say it’s not gonna be stressful, but just take it as best you can and just let it flow, you know, just, just go for it without worrying too much.

That’s kind of what I would add to that, but I like what you were saying with that, yeah.

Will: Yeah, man.

Logan: Yeah, uh, so thank you so much for being on the call today Will, uh, I don’t think there’s anything else that, unless, is there anything else that you would want to talk about, like that was part of your journey that we haven’t gotten to talk about yet?

Will: Nah, man. Let’s keep it short and sweet.

Logan: Okay, awesome. All right. Well thanks for being on the call today, Will. It was awesome talking to you, and I hope you have a great rest of your day.

Will: All right, peace.

Logan: All right, that was the interview with Will and I thought it was an awesome interview.

I loved his ritual, his tradition that he had of each time he passed an exam, he drank more and more beer. I thought that was funny and it was funny that that was the bit that he had that, you know, an accountant who maybe is kind of uptight, kind of anxious, just kind of lets loose when he passes the CPA exams and drinks some beer. I think he was [00:49:00] calling it Mermaids and Unicorns, anyway, I thought it was a lot of fun to talk to Will, and again, he had a great story.

It was awesome that he was able to pass each exam in about eight weeks. He was able to pass all of them first try, and that was with him taking quite a long break between some of the exams when his son was born, and I think that’s awesome.

I think it’s great that he was able to still take some time for his family and that’s kind of the whole idea behind SuperfastCPA is giving these strategies to busy people who have families, who have work, who maybe even have school so that they can still have those important things in their life while also passing the CPA exam.
