hey everybody how you doing I
today horn talk about the pro metric testing
you know for CPA exam by if they have many other exams are two
know this is a really its different salmon ever had
you know in and I guess most people here you've got a college degree
you might have a 150 credits you take an example for
so I really just want to talk about why the Prometric
is different than other exams and
you know things that I do to help me lead-up to taking way
the CPA exam on test day really
of you know I will go on the
a a CPA Website a read about the tests
definitely in 10 my other a
videos I talked about
going on the sample test so you're comfortable with the layout on
everything
but anyways
is a very different tests a basically I think because a
for holder fluids
time restraints
is that some questions don't tell so
let's start with the overall in bring your NTS
and two forms of ID on main picture ID
make sure your names the same you know you'll be dead the water
will take your test so that's the most important
no I I like to get there
I like to get to the testing center about half an hour before my test is
russia's me I even do a dry run the week before
see how long it's gonna take me hi distress of thing so that's what I like
to do
no
I think very important is
hunger has three or four our tests
and you can eat less you take a break so
what I what I like to do what I think my best tip is
up relief to three days before I T two days before the exam
I kinda simulate with my test is
and half an hour before my test
I bring my breakfast in my car
so two days before the test
I simulate you know at my house half hour former Test ate my breakfast
not only a summer lull liquid some let's just stick to my stomach
you know that you know for you so happy hour before
all I don't try to drink much liquids that day
we'll get to that so
you know with the hunger so there are eight a breakfast after a four
Ray Whitney test disposed to start
I a low key role or and
you know on test day I go into the Prometric center
and they say oh you're next I go to the bathroom trying to make myself go to the
bathroom
year old or and go in so I replicate that two or three days before
so I so I can see ever really am i hungry can I make it
3-4 hours and
that's the thing with the liquids to you know you can't take
you can't take a break on the Prometric ce unless you're at the end of a test
let
so you know I simulated at my house to three days before I go
I go through you know 30 questions and cedar
go to the bathroom am i hungry
you know I do that after you know after every
simulated test let because
I know it just be the worst you know you have to go to the bathroom when they're
little a Tesla you here
story so you know the thing I was getting me was the fluids factor %uh
Vitol
a big coffee drinker so
what do you do because a drink coffee really early in the morning saying go to
the bathroom before the test
and then your caffeine buzz has worn off
%uh you can't really tell some coffee right before your the tester product
ordered after the next
3-4 hours so I started
taking caffeine pills you know there's there's no fluids involved with that
and I i wouldn't recommend you know drinking coffee you're taking nothing in
there also and go to prom at shirt
and taking coffee pills
so I you know I always try to simulate the exact replica to three days before
I'll
time time restraints
I always like to put on my little the
scratch nope at paper you know like
a say on on
up BECU I just took it was you know starts at three so %uh
after the first simulation there was you know I think
whatever say do for 45 minutes ish test let you know
right down you know a
215 all 130
45 minutes and that way you can see how you do it then they're very test lit
now
the the questions some other questions don't count I think
I've done the math like seven percent other questions don't help
so
is also the store with an easy medium Tesla if you do
could you go to a higher test let and you get those questions writing the
worth more points
no I don't really worry about that too much
just go to the test in do the best you can
okay try to answer every question
any do the best you can I think that the best way don't psych yourself out
you know I hate that you don't know of the question counter notebook
know they've all been tested for you know you miss a couple questions and you
like
well he you know mentally you're like dr. feel it
or are not getting that 75 you know I this
on this test you don't know if the question counter no I
you don't know that simulation counselor so just try to do your best
no time management is big
II always you know look at forms hours to get my info from many different
places in the similarities
I'm let you know if I hear the same thing from 5
510 people that I think all
left Paul II good a indicator so supp no I read hyper civilizations
rare time for simulations all
on to all the exams that bc it's worth forty percent of your grade
so roughly half your greatest simulations and then he say
or even get 20 or 30 I mean to kill yourself
you're killing yourself I wouldn't spend too much time on the whole school
choices
you know the worth like a play you know it you don't know it bro
you know your waist five minutes on a question get a wrong
the not have time on the simulations I think that's a big part is getting the
simulations enough time
never never leave a simulation Blaine
a you know so the simulations are
sky and have multiple choice because you'll have two or three or four answers
other possible
you know you take the you have you know you have no idea
you're at a time
at least getting there put something another thing I like to put zeros
on the on the simulations that
a you have to come up with your own number
a no guidance really you know so many times it's going to be zero so if you
don't have any time at least put zeros in
but I will recommend that you know
leave yourself enough time to do the simulations it's half the test
don't spend three quarters the test a multiple choice than a quarter
on the simulations I think every able to learn enough
up please tell me what you think down the bottom if I missed anything what
helps you on simulation day
but basically is
you know E drinking in
fluids air and
practicing your time basically Weber State this is simulated
for three days before I'll anyways have a good day hope you enjoy this look for
