The only hard part about CPA test from what I've seen is making time to study during busy season. My BIL said if he didn't have to work and just focus on the test he'd pass them no problem.

He barely studied as it was according to him.

I am very glad we only take two test to become licensed engineers though as opposed to 4 that can drop off.

It is a mile wide and only an inch deep. The actual test is not difficult, but the amount of material you have to try and learn that could potentially be on the test feels overwhelming when working 50-60 hour weeks

I love guys that comment on how difficult something is based off of their brother in laws analysis. Regardless of what he tells you, people don't "barely study" and pass that exam.

I don't know how someone could study effectively during busy season. Audit and FAR will consume you. Can't imagine trying to work 55-60 hours a week on top of that.

No CPA test prep @ LSU, although advanced acct helps significantly for FAR

I'll definitely be going through my old advanced notes when I take FAR.
