    Becker Question –

    How heavily tested is the material in the F10 lecture? I’m not looking for disclosure, just something like “x% of my questions were on material from that lecture.”

    Jeff, I know disclosure is a slippery slope, so I apologize in advance if this is treading on that line–not my intention at all. Mostly this is just for comfort as I’m going through the homework for the second time and I’m actually doing worse this time around on this chapter.

    @wickedrentlover- All the topics in F10 used to be in other chapters in the 2011 book. Once I get home, and look at my book, I can tell you what are the most important sections. The instructor I had from Becker gave us a breakdown of every chapter and which sections are more heavily tested. He figured it all out by using the percentages Becker has at the beginning of every book.

    FAR- 70, 68, 90
    AUD- 72, 85
    REG- 74, 83
    BEC- 81
    ETHICS- 90

    Ok so my instructor gave every section stars, with 3 stars being the most and then he circled things that were REALLY important. And so far he has been right.

    So here are the stars for F10:

    1. Fair Value * *

    2. Partnerships *

    3. VIEs * *

    4. AROs * *

    5. Troubled Debt * * (circled)

    6. Debt covenants * *

    7. Estimated liab. *

    8. Contingencies *

    9. Subsequent events *

    10. Fin. Instruments * *

    Hope that helps, to know what to focus on more.
