Hello Joy,
As someone who has successfully completed a degree in accounting, I believe the key to success lies in finding a comfortable and conducive environment for your studies. A quiet, focused spot where you can really dive into your accounting homework can make all the difference.
Additionally, surrounding yourself with fellow accounting students can be a great asset. This allows you to gain insights into their problem-solving methods when you encounter challenges.
Another effective strategy is to take advantage of office hours with your professor. This provides an opportunity for personalized guidance and clarification on any confusing concepts.
And remember, consistent practice is the secret ingredient to mastering any skill. So keep practicing, and you'll surely excel in your accounting studies!

Hi Joy,
Studying Accounting and Economics is not easy, but I do have some tips for you:
For accounting, I would set aside at least 2-3 hours each day to go over your course materials. At the beginning of the week, I would go over your class notes and textbook readings. Then, in the middle of the week, I would try to redo your in-class examples and write out the steps as to how you got your answers. Then, at the end of the week I would try new practice problems from your teacher or professor or new practice problems found in your textbook. Compare them to the answer key. See what you did wrong. Correct your mistakes and retry them to learn from them.
However, do not take this on alone. Find study buddies. Review concepts and problems together. If it is difficult for you to find others to study with though, take the imitative to reach out to your professor or teacher and ask them for help outside of class. If this is still not enough, ask your school for a tutor or search for a website online with tutors who may be able to help you. Realize that tutoring most times will cost you money, though. You could also ask your school for a mentor to be able to help you or you could find one on LinkedIn to answer any other questions you may have or guide you even more, but always make sure when you use online resources that you are being safe, they are legit, and the people you are contacting are real with genuine intentions to help you!
I believe already that you will do well, since you are asking for help and trying to improve! This first step is critical, and you have already done a great job! Continue to ask questions, and I have no doubt that you will achieve your goal, even if obstacles seem to be an issue. After all, the right kind of effort goes a long way!

Hi Joy,
Glad to hear you are studying accounting! I just graduated with a degree in Accounting this past May and I think the best thing you can do for success is to plan. Plan out when you're going to do your work in a week, and make sure that's your #1 priority before engaging in social events or other activities.
This will come with trial and error, but also figure out what study methods/habits help you, and how much time you need to dedicate to specific assignments to achieve the results you want.
Something else that goes in hand with the planning especially on the accounting route, is start looking into your state's requirements for the CPA, and how you plan to fulfill all of them.
Typically, the requirements to be licensed are as following (this still varies state by state):
1. Bachelor's degree (or masters) in accounting
2. 150 college credits (and anywhere from 24-36 credits specifically in accounting)
3. 1-2 years of experience working under a CPA
4. Passing all 4 sections including Financial Reporting, Auditing, Regulation, and your choice of the 3 speciality exams.
If you are earlier in college, I would make sure to start thinking about how you will get to 150, what state you want to be licensed in, and how you will get the accounting credits needed.
Good luck!

To truly thrive in your academic journey, it's crucial to maintain organization and manage your time effectively. As a recent graduate, I can attest that these two elements were instrumental in helping me complete assignments punctually and ensuring ample time for thorough exam preparation. The college experience can often seem laid-back until the arrival of exam season. This is when students tend to cram in study material, a strategy that often backfires. By planning your time wisely in advance and staying on top of your study material, you can shift from learning new material to simply reviewing it when exams loom. This approach will not only reduce stress but also enhance your performance. Remember, success is within your reach with a little planning and discipline.

The key to achieving success primarily lies in the realm of diligent work. Subjects like economics and accounting are challenging and demand a significant amount of your time and effort. Additionally, nurturing a passion for your field of study can greatly enhance your performance. While it's not necessary to be completely enamored with your work, having a degree of passion can boost your commitment as it often leads to taking greater pride in the tasks you undertake.
