re: CPA exam tutoring or in person exam prep

I frequently tell people the CPA exam isn't about how smart you are, but more about how much you hate yourself.

This is definitely true. The first time I attempted the CPA exam I would let friends talk me into going out and I didn't make studying a priority. The result was a 54 in BEC and a 55 in FAR. I didn't bother taking AUD or REG. A few years after that I decided to give it another chance. I was working full time so I studied 4 hours a day after work 5 days a week. After a couple months of making studying my top priority I had passed REG and FAR.

I'm sure their videos have been updated by now but when I was using Becker one of the teachers said that the more you hated your life the better chance you had of passing.
