I have my exam in a week and I have no idea where to start off. I feel like everything is all important. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

Stay calm, focused, and dont fall prey to “pitfall” answers. READ THE QUESTION, make sure you have memorized the formulas, and dont spend too much time on a calculation question if you dont know the answer in 2 minutes. Good luck

Be solid on corporate governance, SOX, COSO, and cost accounting and you should breeze right on through. I studied these topics most heavily in the week leading up to the exam.

Also, leave plenty of time to write the WCs. They're not difficult, but you definitely will need time to organize your thoughts and to proofread your work. Make sure to stay on point when writing your responses. The software that grades these looks for language used in the question itself to see if you're on point. Also, use proper grammar and be careful with your spelling. Avoid abbreviations (even US GAAP should be written out) and do not use contractions or lists (numbered or bulleted). Finally, the best advise I got was to be as pompous as possible when writing your responses. I used obnoxiously big words and pulled out just about any related accounting term I could to scoop up points.

Best of luck to you!!!
