I just found out Thursday that I passed REG. Woohoo! Now, I have to retake FAR after missing it by one point. Going up to the exam, I ran out of time and didn’t get to finish chapter 10 of 10 in the Becker review course, and didn’t have time to review chapters 1-9. So that’s why I failed FAR. Anyway…

Going back through the material, I realized that I have been glossing over insignificant portions that require intense memorization with little point value. My strategy seems to be successful to pass (most of the time), but would never get me a 90%. I wonder how many people really know the Authoritative Literature included in the Codification? I would never memorize that list, because it is doubtful that a question would come up, and I would have to spend too much time which would prevent me from spending time on the important questions. My point is, if you want to pass the exam, don’t spend too much time trying to get everything.

Anybody have a difference of opinion?

You should definitely review Gov and NFP Accounting. I spent last 10 days b4 FAR exam studying those two chapters.

I skipped Pensions and I had a very brief review of IFRS (mostly tried to spot the differences bw IFRS and GAAP). And also I couldnt figure out Direct and Indirect Methods for Cash Flows. I didnt memorize any complicated formulas.

I would suggest to practice JEs as many as you can!!!!

FAR 85
AUD 83
BEC 76
REG 90
