CPA exam preparation strategy, what are the plans for top students?

It is best to make progress steadily, 2+2+2 is the best choice, and there can be a lot about collocation subjects.

You must go into the state of revision and preparation four months before the exam!

A set of tools you need during exam preparation:

2. Information (the online school will provide it from time to time).

3. Wrong question collection (must be handwritten!) ）

Online class: The biggest role is to save review time, you need to learn for a long time difficult points, maybe the teacher will understand it, and the teacher will help you sort out the relationship between knowledge, which is very worry-free.

Materials: Knowledge refinement + questions, cultivate the feeling of doing questions, and help you further grasp the knowledge points. (There is a lot of nonsense in the official textbooks, and there is no need to read the official textbooks if there are online classes, just print out the handouts and follow the lectures.) ）

Mistake notebook: It records all your weak points and is truly your own exam preparation wealth.

To sum up: match the subjects, find the right institution, find the right teacher, and stick to it seriously!

I wish you an early CPA test

It has been a while since the CPA exam ended, in addition to waiting for the results to be announced, some candidates have already begun to prepare for the relevant subjects next year.

1. Don't be too careful when you first come into contact with the textbook.

When you first come into contact with CPA textbooks, you can first browse the textbooks roughly, and you don't need to be too careful, because most candidates who have just come into contact with textbooks will have a lot of questions; I was at a loss to see that Qingwu didn't understand, how to understand it, etc., and browsed the textbooks in order to make myself familiar with the entire basic framework, which was a foreshadowing for the later learning. For the first time in contact with textbooks, it is best to have a mind map such as a subject overview to familiarize yourself with the overall framework of the whole book.

2. Formal learning into the textbook should be paired with online courses.

After going through the textbook, you have an understanding of the whole, and then you can officially enter the study of the textbook. At this time, please try to study carefully, understand each chapter and each section of the textbook, and it is easier to save time when the textbook is paired with online learning. Every chapter and every knowledge point in the back is studied in this way, and you will find that the full textbook is basically familiar.

Three: The mock test is the examination room exercise.

You have to have a clear understanding! Since the mock test has proven that you are about to face the exam room, this is the time to start your "exam room drill".

When you start to enter the mock questions, you must be formal, the alarm clock, the answer time, and the preparation mentality are ready, and you must give yourself high requirements, and the score of the mock test must be above 75 points to be counted as passing, so that the score can be more likely to be guaranteed to pass the real exam. In addition, you should concentrate on the middle of the test, try to finish the questions as quickly as possible, and then compare the correct questions after the test, find out the reasons and analyze the correct answers.

After completing the registration for the 2022 CPA exam, many friends have entered the preparation stage, for new candidates who register for the first time, some people are often confused in the direction of learning.

1. Raise the importance of teaching materials.

The new textbooks for 2022 have been released, and candidates who want to apply for the exam can directly purchase the new textbooks to study. Preparing for the exam is inseparable from textbooks, and if you want to prepare for the exam, you must buy new textbooks in time. However, the content of the textbook changes little from year to year, and candidates can use the old textbook to prepare for the exam before the new textbook comes out.

Second, to study "Accounting", it is recommended to do more questions to consolidate knowledge.

Although the subject of Accounting is difficult, it requires a lot of time and energy. However, if you arrange your review time reasonably and prepare for the exam carefully, you still have a good chance of passing the exam. It is recommended to review each chapter in time and consolidate the knowledge points in combination with supporting exercises.

For the wrong questions, correct them in time, sort out the correct solution ideas, and master the answering skills.

3. Appropriate learning methods.

Subjects such as economic law and strategy require a lot of memorization, and if you memorize them hard, you will only remember them for a while and you will forget them after a while. We must understand first and then remember it, understand it thoroughly, and have a deeper impression in our minds, and it is difficult to forget it.

Fourth, pay attention to the past past questions, and memorize them frequently.

It is recommended that candidates first establish a knowledge framework, mark the important and difficult points, and focus on memorization and comprehension of key knowledge. In addition, the repetition rate of subjective questions every year is still relatively high, so we must pay attention to the past questions, summarize the direction of the questions and answer ideas on the premise of familiarity, and learn to use them flexibly.

5. Establish a knowledge framework.

It is recommended that candidates pay attention to understanding when preparing for the exam, and after each chapter of knowledge points, they can draw the knowledge framework of the content of the chapter on A4 paper, and memorize the knowledge points with key words.

There are a total of six CPA exams, and the biggest headache for candidates who register every year is that they don't know which subject to apply for.

CPA application plan.

The situation of each candidate is different, and the order of the subject strategy is only for the reference of the candidates:

1) Two subjects: "Accounting" + "Auditing"; Accounting + Tax Law; Audit" + "Corporate Strategy and Risk Management". "Accounting" and "Auditing" are two difficult subjects, so it is recommended that candidates with sufficient time can choose them purely patiently; The two subjects of "Auditing" and "Corporate Strategy and Risk Management" are recommended for candidates with a certain accounting foundation.

2) Three subjects: "Accounting" + "Tax Law" + "Audit"; Accounting + Auditing + Corporate Strategy and Risk Management; Accounting + Tax Law + Economic Law. The first two subjects require a lot of time to prepare for the exam, while the last one is relatively less difficult and is also a very good choice for candidates who do not have enough time.

CPA exam study strategies for each subject.

Accounting is a basic subject, but it is also the most difficult of several subjects. If you study "Accounting" well, it will be easier to study the difficult subject of "Auditing", and there is a correlation between "Accounting" and "Auditing".

Auditing" is a course that suggests that you can listen to the training course first, get a general understanding of the subject, and then read the book without great pressure; In addition, the test questions of this subject are relatively fragmented, and the objective questions cover a wide range, so you must look at the textbook again when you are approaching the exam, otherwise it is easy to miss the knowledge points.

The subject of "Financial Cost Management" can be used with the CPA mock test system to do the past three years' real questions, carefully read the analysis, and learn to draw inferences from one another.

The knowledge points of the "Tax Law" are relatively fragmented, and candidates must constantly summarize and sort out, otherwise it is easy to mess up.

The subject of "Economic Law" is relatively simple, candidates can memorize and recite on the basis of understanding, and it is recommended that they can only read the textbook and listen to the basic class courses for the exam that is tight on time.

"Corporate Strategy and Risk Management" does not have much content that needs to be memorized, and it is enough to memorize what should be memorized when listening to the teacher, mainly to understand the essence; When doing the questions, you should remember to summarize the routines of the questions, and in general, this subject is still relatively good.

In the accounting industry, CPA is recognized as the most difficult exam, 6 subjects have a certain degree of difficulty, in order to successfully pass the premise must do a good job of planning and preparation, the following deep space network for different subjects to provide you with suggestions, I hope to help.

Accounting: Takes the longest.

The most basic, important, and difficult part of CPA is the subject of "Accounting". After summarizing by the non-math masters, the final conclusion is that under normal circumstances, accounting requires at least 350-400 hours of revision.

It is recommended that you review at least about 66 hours per month on average, and at least about an hour per day on average.

In order of importance, the three rounds of review are at least 198 hours for the foundation phase, 132 hours for the intensive phase, and 66 hours for the sprint phase.

Audits: The hardest to understand.

The main reason why the subject of "Auditing" takes the second time is because for most candidates, the content of Si Xian is too rusty.

First, the teaching materials are obscure and difficult to understand, and second, it is difficult for students who lack practical audit experience to learn for the first time. Therefore, after years of summarizing by top students, the time spent on this subject is at least 300-350 hours.

It is recommended that the average revision time per month is at least about 58 hours, and the average daily revision time is also about 2 hours.

Then the specific schedule of the "Audit" subject is the same as that of the "Accounting" subject.

Financial management: Brushing questions is the key.

As the most special course in the three CPA subjects, the time schedule of "Financial Management" is slightly different from the previous two subjects. The most important thing in the subject of financial management is to brush up on the questions.

It is recommended to review at least 53 hours per month on average and at least one hour per day.

Due to the particularity of financial management, here is a special suggestion for you to use charts to do questions in the process of three rounds of review.

Tax law: There are many knowledge points and miscellaneous.

According to the 300 hours of the top academic experts, it is recommended to review at least 75 hours per month and at least an hour a day.

Key lines, including value-added tax, consumption tax, personal income tax, corporate income tax, here we must pay special attention to the adjustment of individual income tax, we must pay close attention to the news of individual income tax reform, it is recommended to spend more time;

The small tax law line has many knowledge points, and it can be broken through each by using fragmented time.

Economic Law and Strategy: Memorization takes time.

Economic law and strategy are two of the easier subjects that are generally recognized. A minimum of 220 hours of review time for economic law and 200 hours for strategy.

Economic law recommends a minimum of 73 hours of review per month and at least one hour per day; The strategy recommends a minimum of 66 hours of review per month and at least 2 hours per day.

The key chapters of the strategy are Chapter 2 Strategic Analysis, Chapter 3 Strategic Selection, and Chapter 4 Strategy Implementation. In the past, there was more emphasis on risk, but in recent years, the focus has shifted more towards strategy.

I think everyone knows that the CPA exam is difficult, in fact, the difficulty is not the exam but the process, when you first go to apply for the exam, it is difficult to choose the subject collocation, and when preparing for the exam, it is difficult to understand the knowledge points and the perseverance that cannot be persevered, but is it a little unwilling to see those who have already obtained the certificate? Therefore, if you want to get a CPA certificate, you must work hard in the preparation for the exam, if you want to be more relaxed in the preparation, you need to make a perfect plan, a good plan can make you get twice the result with half the effort, and then Lixin CPA reminds candidates to implement the plan in advance.

The choice of subject collocation.

How do I match the subjects I am taking? Accounting is the basis for learning other subjects, and the knowledge points in it are more or less closely related to the accounting content, so no matter how many subjects you choose to apply for, don't fall behind in accounting subjects.

The difficulty of auditing subjects is higher than that of accounting, and the preparation period is relatively long, and a certain accounting foundation is required, so it is not recommended for candidates who have not taken the CPA exam for the first time.

There are many things to memorize in the tax law, and the study of various taxes in the tax law is of great help to the study of accounting, and the study of accounting can promote the study of financial management.

The difficulty of the two subjects is the "easiest" in the exam, and the characteristic of economic law is that it is suitable for about three months before the exam. Strategy is relatively easy. According to the characteristics of these subjects mentioned above, you can choose the subject combination that suits you.

Study habits. Good study habits are crucial. Accomplish your goals on time every day. As "China's first test", it is difficult to achieve the style of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

And candidates who have a plan will set aside a certain amount of time for themselves every day to deal with emergencies to ensure that there will only be more study time every day, not less. Study habits are important, but so are rest habits. They will have a regular routine every day, do not fight fatigue, and make every minute of learning very efficient.

There should be a sense of hierarchy in the knowledge learned.

CPA exam preparation takes a long time because it has a lot of knowledge points and is a bit miscellaneous, so we need to sort out the knowledge we have learned in our minds, which is very important both when studying and reviewing. For example, if you have reviewed all the knowledge points in the Economic Law, you should jump out of the limitations of a single micro knowledge point, put yourself in a more macro position to look down on these contents, and find out the internal connection between the knowledge points. If you have already reviewed several knowledge modules, do the same – find out the connections between them.

We must not let the knowledge points accumulate in our minds in a scattered manner, and we must organize them to form a systematic knowledge network.

These plans must be executed as early as possible, so that we have enough time to take control of the overall situation and get closer and closer to the dream self. Here's wishing every CPA candidate a successful event and a dream come true!
