About Kayla
Kayla Switzer wrote the UFE and failed. She realized very quickly that experienced writers do not get the same support as first time writers, but she was determined to succeed on her second attempt. To ensure success she made phone calls, wrote emails and spoke with anyone who was willing to help her pass the UFE.
Inspired to help subsequent experienced writers when she passed, she wrote “"I Failed the UFE! Now What? An experienced writer’s survival guide."” This is a one-stop, all-purpose book for experienced writers; a step-by-step survival guide to rewriting the UFE with success! Order the book today!
Kayla articled with PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP in Vancouver, BC. She is a Chartered Accountant and is currently the Controller of a real estate investment firm in Santa Monica, California and a mentor for experienced writers. Check out mentor and marking services here.
3. How will this book help me?
You need support, and this book will give it to you. Unfortunately, there is not the same support for experienced writers as there is for first time writers. You need this book to ensure that you are on the right track towards success on the UFE.
Frequently asked questions
1. Should I have a marker?
Yes! Everyone needs help marking one or two cases per week. If you do not have a marker from your firm, then hire one. See my mentor and marking services here.
4. What does the book include?
"I Failed the UFE! Now what? An experienced writers survival guide" provides a comprehensive step-by-step process to rewriting the UFE with success. It starts in December when you first receive your unsuccessful results and walks you through what you need to do month by month.
It is edited by Bruce Densmore, who has extensive UFE experience and adds invaluable insight into how to succeed on the UFE. It answers the burning questions you have, like: when do I start studying again?; should I have a study partner?; should my study partner be an experienced writer?; when do I sign up for courses?
2. Should I have a mentor?
Yes! Failing the UFE is hard to handle on your own, and you need guidance. As an experienced writer you need a mentor you is a successful experienced writer so that they know what you are going through! If you do not have a mentor from your firm, then hire one. See my mentor and marking services here.
2. Will my firm pay for marking, mentoring, and/or this book?
They should! Talk to the Partner in charge of the UFE, or to the UFE committee if you have one, and educate them about the needs of an experienced writer. It's not that they don't want to help you; it's that they don't know how. Explain the differences between a first time writer and an experienced writer so that they can understand why you need this book.

BACK TO MENTORING
My Services:
I believe that mentoring and tutoring for experienced writers includes more than marking cases. As an experienced writer you need guidance on the process.
Passing the UFE is not impossible. You can pass the UFE!
My services include planning for the year ahead both from a confidence perspective and a technical perspective, review of transcripts in order to identify weaknesses and make them strengths, marking, debriefing one-on-one, exam strategies based on the debrief, and mentoring. I have two packages to choose from and a two day course, so choose what best suits your needs.
This package is the deluxe, one-on-one care that will help you as an experienced writer gain confidence, excel on your cases, and become a successful UFE candidate!
Includes:
• Review of transcript to identify weaknesses to focus on. Know why you failed this year, so you can pass next year!
• Planning for the year.
• Study schedule: You will have your study schedule reviewed as many times as necessary to make sure that its perfect!
• Confidence boosters: We will make sure that you go into the UFE confident so that there is no doubt in your mind that YOU CAN PASS!

• Marking and debriefing for one comprehensive simulation
• Exam strategies based on the debrief
• Two-day course for experienced writers, by experienced writers is included!

This package includes most of the important aspects of the Premium package, without including the three day course for experienced writers or unlimited mentoring.

Two Day Course: July 9th and 10th
This is a two-day course held exclusively for experienced writers by experienced writers. This course is held in Vancouver and covers everything from the emotional aspect of the exam to how to approach cases.
The course will include, but is not limited to, the following:
• Two marked Non-Comp simulations: You will write them, we will debrief together, and they will also be marked for you.
• Learn debriefing strategies: This is the single most important part of studying. Without debriefing, there is no point in writing it!
• Learn outlining strategies: This is essential to having an organized case that enables you to get breadth and depth.
• Approaching cases: Learn how to approach a case with a strategy, so that you go into each case with purpose.
