Chapter 4 – Operations Management (Part Two)

We hope your studies are going well. As we mentioned at the beginning of Chapter 3, you should be in a good rhythm with the BOOST outlines/videos and completing the multiple choice, simulations, and written communication tasks (yes, rhythm is the word of the year). You are probably overwhelmed by the quantity of information (because it is natural to feel that way) but, as we have said before, just take it step-by-step!

Related to retaining the material, we hope around the end of your studies for Chapter 3 of BOOST, you took a practice test on the previous material to provide you feedback regarding how well you understand this material and are retaining it (remember, if you are not retaining it, you need to consider changing your study plan).

As we have mentioned already, please don't rush through this material and take your time to understand it. Remember, an additional week of study (if needed) will be well worth it if the additional time is the difference between passing and failing the BEC section of the CPA exam!

Also, when you are close to completing Chapter 4 of BOOST, you should take a practice test (with only multiple choice) for the content noted on page one or two of the document with content comparisons of BOOST and Becker. This practice test will help you determine how much of the BOOST information you have retained and how well you have integrated the various topics. You should review your notes (which are a subsection of the BOOST outlines) periodically during the week to keep this information fresh in your mind. 

Good luck as you begin your studies of Chapter 4! Some of the page numbers in the videos are not the same as the page numbers in the BOOST textbook. Please use the page numbers in the BOOST textbook.

Remember, please contact BOOST CPA Review by email if you have any questions as you work through Chapter 4.

AFTER WATCHING EACH VIDEO BELOW, please complete the appropriate multiple choice, simulations, and written communications tasks related to each of these videos. Please refer to the document with content comparisons of BOOST and Becker to determine which multiple choice, simulations, and written communication tasks to complete.

Here are the five videos for Chapter 4 of BOOST. Good Luck!
