    3, 5 & 6 answers are correct. On question no. 1 I think B is better because capital reflects the management plan on acquiring new assets?

    Yeah, I figured you know most of these answers because you have done almost every single problem on Ninja already. I like the program because of questions like this one. That question isn't in any of our books, but it will show up on the test LOL. I got like three or four questions on my FAR test that I would have had NO shot at getting right if it wasn't for the Ninja MCQ.

    #622879

    LOL, this is my first time using ninja mcq. So comforting that you just said that. I have my moments of ‘I feel so prepared' but then others like getting questions out of left field like that one freak me out. Better now than test day!

    #622880

    I'll post up some questions I had trouble with tomorrow. I'm currently using my phone. Can't fall asleep so doing flash cards and checking the forum lol

    Exactly, my emotions change every day and same for FAR. I was scoring in the high 80s for FAR until I completely bombed a 50 question quiz and got a 66%. That really discouraged me and for AUD with 11 days to go I'm only trending at 78%. It better get to about 81% next week or else I won't have much confidence.

    Try the AICPA sample test some good questions there especially the sims.

    #622882

    Yeah I will check those out. I can't open it on my Mac though. Gotta find another computer to borrow. Wait did you take your FAR test? Good news I hope??

    #622883

    Have you finished all the ninja questions yet?

    Btw, my trending scores range from 73-96 on topics. It's so far and wide for each topic. So don't be discouraged!

    I took FAR on Wednesday, hopefully there will be good news but I wasn't able to finish one of the sims.

    73-96 is great though, my ranges go from 71-85. I have about 400 new questions to go through with most of them off the evidence section.

    #622885

    Wow! Studying for exams at the same time! Go you! I'm taking FAR next and hopefully its my last time. Your grades are awesome. I was scoring the same when I had about 400 left. You'll see a jump when you least expect it
