Accounting major senior here! I agree with you on cost Accounting. That isn't for me. I really love auditing. I also got accepted for grad school as well. I'm very excited but nervous. I find it interesting that you have data mining and Accounting information systems. At my university, it's not a requirement. It's nice to see other Accounting majors. Accounting is very underrated and even my school, it's like 30-40 of us graduating with Accounting degrees.

@@natalieminassian Hey, I chose the three sciences (bio, physics and chem) in 10th grade and figured out that science was not for me, but I studied it for a year since I could not change it in the middle of the year. I am thinking of changing my subjects to business and accounting in 11th but I have to give my board exams in 11th too and I really don't want to go into medical, do you think it would be the right choice to change my subjects or just go on with science. I have summer holidays now so I could study for business and accounting so that I knew something about it but I have no prior knowledge for these both subjects and to think I have to give boards in 11th with limited knowledge is scary and I am conflicted on what to do.

My teacher for cost accounting gives us study guides but they have nothing to do with the test. 😢. I think it really depends on the professor and how to class is set up. My advisor has me taking cost accounting before intermediate idk how. I been having very hard professors for my accounting classes. But cost accounting I’m just trying to learn the formulas

I enjoyed financial accounting, I'm just hoping the other classes are set up differently. We use Mcgraw Hill at my school (though I'll be transferring to a university and they may use different) and the amount of busy work was nutty. Mostly just the connect questions there would be like 70-100+ multiple choice (mostly non-math) but still incredibly time consuming and didn't feel helpful at all. What do you do in a situation like that? I felt like all my study time was being eaten away by busy work. Didn't learn almost anything from that section and it took half my homework time ugh.

@natalieminassian 6 ай бұрын

I completely know what you are talking about. McGraw Hill was used a lot during my undergrad classes. It was not the best at teaching but it was easy homework points. You have to learn to manage your time on what’s important. Maybe coordinate certain amount to each chapter. Example. 30 minutes chp 1. or if chapter 3 is really hard for you, do 1 hour or study. Just gotta try different ways!

@watchuwant1560 6 ай бұрын

Do you mean just skip portions of homework or just guess answers? Not sure how I could have done it any faster unless I was cool with really poor grades as the only multiple choice were the first section (70+ concepts) and if you got them wrong they would insert a rephrased version of the question up to like 3 times. Then 10 questions usually 1-10 parts each for practice homework and 5-10 questions for the regular homework section up to 20 parts per question. Thank you!@@natalieminassian

Hi Nat, thank you so much for the information. Quick question on reading the textbook, do you read from A to B, the entire chapter or is there a certain skim you do cuz I feel like some chapters are so long and I just give up and go straight to the PPT and just watch the lecture and take notes from the lecture. I only go back to the book when I can’t find details while doing the hw. But I feel like this way is not really helpful, please help! Thank you :)

@natalieminassian Жыл бұрын

I wish I could good at accounting lol I hate accounting so much I haven't studied anything harder than this tbh. Stem people think physics, chemistry is hardest lol no for me I was good in science related things but I have no interest in those things so I chose business and accounting subjects in high school. Now I'm studying business with specialization in banking and finance we do study accounting (intermediate, financial, cost) but overall we don't study accounting a lot in finance degree.

I want to major in accounting but I am just scared if it will drop my gpa.. I got academic scholarships that cover most of the tuitions under the condition that I maintain at least 3.0 GPA. My gpa is good for now but do you think maintaining a high gpa while majoring in accounting is hard? I am not a really math/science person but am pretty good at economics. Do you think accounting will be doable for people who are not very good at math/science?
