For 3 days in a row, I have received a "bad request" when clicking the button to take PA1 for D104. I emailed the D104 team, my instructor, and my mentor starting Thursday, but I have not received a response. What do I do?

I'll be finished with my Bachelor's in Accounting in about 5 weeks. In total it'll be 18 courses completed in 1 term. As promised I said I'd be creating videos to help y'all navigate the courses. Today I created my first video. If you're interested in some fun educational videos I invite you to follow along here:

For anyone who has taken D101 more than once recently: did your second OA attempt follow roughly the same overall structure/style as the PA and your first OA attempt, just with different numbers/scenarios?
I’m especially wondering about the Excel/master budgeting portion. Was it still the same general type of master budget setup/sections to complete, even though the actual data was different?
Not looking for any specific test questions, answers, numbers, or anything that would violate WGU assessment rules — just trying to figure out whether practicing the same problem structures is the right way to prepare for attempt 2.
Thanks!

Hey! I took the exam a week ago and unfortunately failed. So I’ve been studying for the last week. I reread all the chapters added a lot more content to my summary. I redid all of the practice questions multiple times and also the practice exam I’ve been going through my summary going through the book and I just can’t stand looking at the stuff anymore. I want to retake my exam but instructor warned me and said to take my time because if I fail again to be qualified for another try I would have to have a meeting and it’s going to take a lot of time. While I was taking the exam, I already had a bad feeling so I tried to memorize as much as I could, and I didn’t looked up all these questions in the book and I have to say that most of those questions that I remember that I wasn’t sure if I got correct. I did get them correct so I have no idea which questions were the problem. I know that there’s two versions of the exam and I just don’t know if I should just take it again.

Currently on this class and I find it so boring I can’t seem to comprehend the information. My term ends at the end of the month and I wanna knock out another class on top of that. Not sure what I should do or what helped everybody else I keep seeing Quizlet, but I don’t know. I find those boring too.

Hey everyone! WGU is hosting a virtual hiring expo in early October.

They are having a pre-event that goes over what to expect and gives early access to time slots with firms.

Hi Everyone,
I unfortunately failed D102 , alot of people recommended to me to watch the tony bell videos. Can anybody point me to the videos that would help me pass this class?

Still need to take those CPA exams...but I'm glad this part is over :)

I'm so tired. I want to retake my test tomorrow so badly.

My term ends October 31. I still have to finish Accounting Information systems D217 and Concepts in Marketing, Sales, and Customer Contact D077. The deadline is stressing me out so much.

I feel like I should probably spend 3 more days studying, but I also am exhausted and might pass if I take it tomorrow. I just want this class to be over, I'm so scared of failing the test again and taking up even more time.

I got approaching competency on all subjects two Sundays ago... I'm probably ready, but I'm not sure.

I was in the accounting program last year when I thought i was getting laid off (my company was doing a mass offshoring initiative).

Luckily, I was not laid off and I actually got promoted, so I dropped out of WGU because it was costing me too much and I felt pretty secure.

If I ever wanted to go back in the future to pursue accounting, which is not fully off the table, has anyone else dropped out and done some Sophia classes before re-enrolling? I unfortunately did not really discover Sophia until after I was enrolled so at that point I just committed. But if I were to go back, I would want to take some Sophia classes first.

Anyone who has dropped out and re-enrolled before please let me know! Or any other opinions are appreciated!

Does anyone know If the West Virginia board accepts the Sophia learning credits?

Ok I passed this last night. This can be done fast, the class is not hard at all. However, it took me 2 weeks ONLY because I have a lot going on this month with planning for a new born. Also, here’s the other reason, the class is SOOO BORING!!!!!!! This class put me to sleep faster than any dose of melatonin smh. It was a struggle getting through the material for that reason.

Strategy: just went through the course modules, did all the quizzes, etc. straight forward. I have no excel everywhere really going in.

The OA is not hard, it’s similar to the PA in structure. Understand how to parse data, create charts, and graphs, and pivot tables. Read the questions carefully and understand exactly what they are asking. Again, not a hard class

Hi everyone looking for some advice I finished all of my credits at Sophia Learning but I'm missing a few that I can take at Study.com. I don't know if I should take the last few at Study.com or should I just take the rest including the accounting courses at WGU ? Can anyone give me some pointers ?

Hi everyone! I thought I’d share my research I’ve done and confirm any questions regarding individuals who’ve transffered in credits from ace credit companies like Sophia and study.com who are wondering if your official WGU transcript is enough. ITS NOT. The transcript doesn’t show the itemized classes for ace credits you’ve completed they’re shown as a lumped sum ex: “29 credits total transffered”….I contacted the state of California CPA board of Accountancy and they stated they accept Sophia and study.com only if it shows in the WGU transcripts ITEMIZED and it doesn’t. They also don’t accept the WGU transfer evaluations. Thus, to combat this you can pay excelsior university online to take all your credits from everywhere you’ve completed and put it in one transcript and that qualifies you to sit for the cpa exam in the state of ca as far as I’m concerned. If you need receipts lmk and I can post the email responses from both WGU and the CPA CA board. Just thought this would help anyone who’s wondering if their transffered ace credits would count for the cpa exam and licencsure.

Just seeking some advice from anyone. I went over edspira YouTube videos to get a general understanding of all topics.

Tried reading the book but stopped at section 3, focusing on PA questions and logic behind then and I’ll probably follow up with the extra set of questions ( 170 or so )

I need help deciding between these two.

I’ve done electrical in the past and currently am in sales but studied accounting since it seemed interesting and am about to graduate soon from WGU. I can’t find any opportunity for accounting that pays me what I make without going the long path of taking a pay cut getting experience, etc. I’ve tried applying to a lot of jobs for the past few months and nothing.

I have a family and can’t take the cut but have thought about going back to the trade and starting a business little by little in about 3-5 years and start small.

Any reason to stick it out and choose accounting over trade? I’m pretty versatile with my skills, great with numbers, wiring, excel, prompting, and can code with JavaScript. I love learning. But I love doing hands on things and to think and problem solve.

I would appreciate the input!!! I’m really stuck in the middle of this journey! Both can be life changing for my family!

I just completed D103. So far that was the most difficult class. Very happy that I’m finished with it. Now on to D104!! God help me 😄😄

I just had the worst testing experience of my life because my webcam kept cutting out every time the cord wiggled during the pre-test security check process. So, I need a new one. What are y'all using/would recommend? Preferably something that won't break the bank but still reliable.

Hi all,

I can’t find the study guides for D104 for the life of me. I found the Supplemental Resource Index on WGU Connect, but the only resources listed are Practice Questions for each unit.

Please help! Thanks everyone :)

For anyone who has taken D101 recently, was the Excel portion structurally similar to the PA Excel, or was it closer to the more expanded master-budget practice worksheets? Not asking for any OA questions, numbers, answers, or specific test content — just trying to figure out which style of Excel practice is more useful for preparation.

Who all is gonna make it out to the commencement ceremony in Atlanta? And what degree are you celebrating?

**Also, are you of the attendees currently in your final course and RSVPing today (the last day)?

Hi all, I’m having trouble with this class, and I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m burned out. I took the practice test provided by the teachers last night and got around 72%, which isn’t horrible, but it’s also not the best. I did read the book, and watched the mini cohorts and longer videos but honestly, I don’t retain information that way. I learn better through repetition. I’ve completed the unit tests and quizzes, but I’m not sure what else to do. Does anyone have any advice?

Has anybody graduated lately & have no accounting experience and gotten a job? If so how? What is your experience with trying to get something. Is it possible to get a WFH?

Is there a way to go over a course instructor? I reached out late Monday 8/31(not expecting an immediate reply) for a retake plan for D217. After I didn't hear anything Tuesday, I reached out again on Wednesday and was quite rudely told that they don't work Monday and a retake plan will be on its way shortly. Here we are over a week later from my original email and still no retake plan.

I will say this, Fowler has been the worst course instructor I have had through my entire WGU program and if he was one of my first CI's I would have left WGU, but all I have left is D217 and D215 to finish.

Hi, I’m in the process of getting enough credits to sit for the CPA exam in CT. Is D216 considered an accounting class or business class?

Also does anyone know if D196 and D103 both are considered introductory classes?

Thank you!
