All the info @Rosy0407 posted for me was gone with the update. But, I am still missing the part for pensions that everybody talks about now. If anybody knows where those are please share with us.

@Patelhj1 – also Becker F4 touches on valuations as per Becker lectures, but those I haven't looked at.

@vera12345 – how has your experience been with BEcker and the SIMS? I spent the entire weekend working on those, but it feels like a matter of luck in terms of what you get.

5 days out from exam day and I am starting to panic a little bit. I've practice very little simulations because frankly, it's kind of a crapshoot. I've practiced adjusting entries with the FAR book I used when I passed FAR. Any other advice?

Trending 83% and done 2500 questions with only 370 not seen.

Please let this be my last exam ever.

I'm also very curious about this whole “pension thing”- I have not come across anything like that in my study material yet… and it has me scared because it was by far one of my biggest weakness in FAR

and they ask me why I drink...

FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
BEC- 8/11
AUD- 9/2

It sounds like your are all set to take down AUD. Hope your exam goes well!

I saw the message about studying pensions as well…is someone messing with us because I cannot find anything on pensions in my Becker material? Where is this located?

Pensions are mentioned as one word blurbs in chapter A4 and A6. Just a few words in Becker… more on my test…

First go at the CPA! Only using Becker

I've heard a theory that if you score bad in one area you will continue to get more of those questions. I'm not sure if its true but I noticed it with my first reg exam I kept getting the same type of questions on an area that was barely touched on.

FAR - 78
REG - 72,74,71...please just go away REG nobody likes you!

[aatoural]

That seems like the exam then would have way to many logics to it. Seriously the AICPA will go thru all that trouble? I hope not 🙁

[Anonymous]

or is it just that people get paranoid because they know that's a weak area, so any questions that relate to it stick out more in their memory of the exam?

[HoosierCPA]

@allaboard that could be as well who knows!

Do cash receipts journals still exist? What about sales journals? I used QuickBooks for 2 years and have no idea what they are talking about.

circadian malfunction; unfortunately it does in the exam. Lots of questions do not really reflect the real world and as a test taker we have to know things that might no longer exist!

Can someone please help me this report on internal control over financial reporting? I'm taking audit on Thursday and still not so sure.

In case of a material weakness or weaknesses exist in internal control, how does the auditor report?
I know that they can separate the reports and add other-matter paragraph in internal control report. What if they don't separate the reports?

REG: 77 x2
BEC: 81 x3
