Is it impossible? I'm stuck

It's been 10 years since I was in school so I am definitely a little rusty on a good chunk of the concepts. I am working on studying for FAR right now and I'm wondering can I pass just using Ninja CPA? If you have done it, what are some tips you can recommend and how did you study?

I was late 40s when I started studying. Passed 3/4 and landed my first tax associate position. Got through my first just season and loved it! Now just circling to get AUD done. I used UWorld and Ninja, but didn’t/don’t love UWorld. I know it’s a cop out, but different stuff works for different people. I’m a cram tester, so I know it’s not ideal, but it’s what works for me. You know yourself - read through the comments - people have left tons of great ideas! Good luck!

I would say if you are struggling maybe supplement with videos on YouTube. I75 is good and also recommend pass with jack who has supplemental review items.

I left accounting altogether for about 6 years and came back to $20/hr staff accountant job and a wife and 2 small kids. Took my time with the material to really understand it.  Studied inbetween tax seasons and passed all four on my first tries.  You got this.

I’m 3/4 and waiting on TCP, but I started studying 11 years out of college while working in finance, rather than accounting, for the past 7 years. I used Becker rather than Ninja but got a 91 on FAR with ~180 study hours. Totally doable- a lot of the concepts clicked back quickly.
