We will follow him, and other aspiring CPAs, as they continue through the different stages of taking the CPA Exam in later issues of YEP Connection. Jaryl Mordeno is a student at California State University, Los Angeles, and works for the Walt Disney Company. I’ve learned a great deal of material, but additionally have developed a better mindset to breakthrough limitations. It’s been three months since I began preparing for the exam. The key to establish a stable routine is that quality hours outweigh quantity hours of studying. On other days, I would shut down after only four hours. On good days, I would push through six hours. From this experience, I discovered that the mind has a limited capacity from day to day. I applied this method and eventually burnt out after a few weeks. When I began preparing for the exam in June, I had a simple plan: Study for eight hours each day. However, coming up with a routine was the unexpected obstacle. I have studied countless hours to prepare and, as expected, found that the material is challenging. I knew taking on the exam would require a great deal of dedication, discipline and drive. I take short breaks after every hour to replenish my body and restore focus. Finally, I commit the last hours to learning new material. During the third and fourth hours, I go over and break down missed problems I also make flash cards on concepts I find difficult. The second hour is spent on answering multiple-choice problems. The first hour is dedicated to reviewing flash cards I made in previous days. I spend four to six hours a day studying for the Uniform CPA Exam. When I get back home, I eat breakfast and drink coffee. As I run, I mentally prepare myself and plan my day. I get out of bed, put on my running shoes and go for a jog.
