Cia part 1
I took the CIA Part 1 exam last Monday, but the results still haven’t been released yet. My impression is that the exam wasn’t extremely difficult. If I didn’t pass, it was probably by a very small margin.
There were a lot of questions focused on objectivity, independence, and practical real-world scenarios. I also noticed quite a few questions about fraud and internal controls.
I basically studied only through practice questions and mock exams. For the conceptual content, I used NotebookLM to generate mind maps and infographics to optimize my studying, in addition to creating summaries and podcasts based on the Becker materials.
I also uploaded the PDF question bank into Gemini and asked it to create an interactive question system for me. After that, I just kept practicing and repeating the questions over and over again.
I’m anxious to find out whether this Pareto-based study method actually worked hahaha.
