After spending over a decade coaching professionals for the US CPA exam in India, we have received a ton of suggestions to solve simulation-type questions from a range of CPA test takers of varied ages and backgrounds. The testimonies collected from both alumni roundtables and interviews have significant mentions of how simulation questions haunted their nights before the CPA exam.
Tip 1: “When all else fails, follow instructions.” – Anne Lamott
Start speed-practice to solve MCQs for your CPA preparation. The more you speed up on the short answer you will have enough time left to get back to the simulation questions that you have bookmarked before. It’s crucial to read the instructions as it will help you navigate the following questions better.
Tip 2: “Golden rule of life: never underestimate your rivals.” – Sid Waddell
Don’t let the research sims get in your way of becoming a certified public accountant! Be careful with the compression part in the tests and try understanding what the essay reads. Take 10-15 minutes of time and make sure you make good use of authoritative literature tools and you will surely get them right.
Tip 3: “Mental strength requires a three-pronged approach.” – Amy Morin
Apply a three-pronged strategy, and ensure you have kept a few backup plans to place you at a better score while solving the simulations. Either you can hear out our CPA alumni at events ask your assigned mentors or craft your own ways to solve sims faster with cent percent accuracy.
