anyone have any news on FAR…this is going to make or break my fall. I have to pass this window or in the October/November testing window or I lose reg. I can't even imagine retaking Reg….congrats to all who have passed in this window and for those who didn't- KEEP TRYING! I just passed my two year mark of taking/studying for the exam you will make it!!
Broadway – I really don't think I passed. I only studied four weeks while working and really needed a couple more weeks. The sims were very tough. If I do some how pass it will be just barely as was with Audit. However, I will gladly take mid 70's on all 4 parts.
I am crossing my fingers that most of my BEC test questions were “test” questions. I swear it felt like 60% of my test was over one chapter in the book. Although I knew that chapter, I didn't have it memorized so the in depth questions were all guesses on my part. On the other hand, I wish I could have gone back the next week and taken that exact test again because I could have easily gotten an A with only a couple hours of studying.
for anyone who passed FAR in 2011 do you have any studying suggestions? I used Becker but i feel like there was WAY more IFRS stuff on the exam than i expected and i need a good study tool for this I am preparing to fail, so that I have an action plan…any other study suggestions welcome also!
Broadway – It's funny you say that. I was talking this morning with a CPA that we hired a few months ago and he said the controller asked for copies of all his CPA exam scores during the interview process. I worked in Big 4 for 3 years and never heard of this happening.
Oh, I meant to ask, I know the “loophole” thing is not supposed to work anymore but has anyone tried it. I am curious if anyone can register for a test they have taken. This is my first time waiting so I am looking at every loophole and conspiracy theory I can find. I assume if I would have tried to reregister 2 weeks ago that the boxes would have been greyed out….right?
@SeanHath- I had the exact same situation with FAR. Felt like MC were a breeze and then got to Sims and wanted to cry! I knew the material inside and out and those questions came out of no where! Feel at ease knowing that you can pass even if you bomb the sims. I barely passed but let me tell you- I BOMBED the sims!!

@ern1233974- I passedFAR in 2011 I used Becker for FAR and I felt like doing the HW and re-reading concepts over and over until I could recite the formulas/answers without looking worked for me.

How did you think your FAR MC testlets went? Were they all getting harder? I am a little worried. Mine were easy, hard, and back to easier again. I agree that the FARSims were brutal.
