That awful sinking feeling when you go to schedule your exam

    And realize your NTS expires in 3 days and you weren’t planning to take the exam for 3 weeks….here’s to a miracle of me passing FAR on a 3 day cram session and a couple prior weeks of short study sessions…

    Any suggestions? I have a Becker review book, Becker final review, all of the Becker Exam released questions, and Lamber’s 2013 review book with questions and answers…

    Should I get Ninja notes or the Wiley test bank?

    Be sure to nail down bonds and governmental/NFP accounting.

    If I only had a few days to cram, I would read the book and any other similar materials (e.g., flashcards). For any areas that you are confused about, try to find some MCQs and either work them or just read the answer through to be sure you understand them.

    It probably all depends on how you learn, though. Keep in mind that my advice comes from someone that prefers reading the material rather than doing a massive amount of MCQs.

    If it's any consolation, I know of someone that passed FAR after having just studied the night before!

    REG - 93 (7/30/13)
    BEC - 90 (8/19/13)
    AUD - 98 (8/31/13)
    FAR - 84 (10/19/13)

    Miracles exist. If you already paid, then might as well show up.

    so my cram session almost paid off….wish it wouldn't have been so close, a 74 with cramming Becker FlashCards, past AICPA released questions and WTB….

    two 74's this year, one in BEC and one in FAR…now I have to take my BEC retake in 2 weeks and then FAR and REG in January so my AUD score doesn't expire Feb 28th…
