I am just starting studying for FAR with Becker. Just out of curiosity, what do you think the worst out of the 10 chapters is? I am just trying to know what I am getting myself into so I am not frustrated when coming across annoying and difficult chapters. It might be different for everyone, but just wanted to see if there was a common chapter the majority thought was the worst. I would appreciate your feedback.

Every chapter aside from the depreciation chapter.

But it all seriousness, F2 was pretty awful. I spent a lot of time on F8 and F9 since we didn't cover that material in my college courses.

FAR - 5/31/13 - 85
REG - 7/8/13 - 87
BEC - 8/1/13 - 85 (Part of the shady server upgrade fiasco)
AUD - 8/28/13 - (Waiting)

I'm so happy I came across this post. I am going through F2 now and feeling so overwhelmed by this chapter. I'm so glad it's not just me.

I've just finished F3 and I must say the Intercompany Transactions was inordinately painful for me. I wish I took Advanced Accounting back in university!

F2 without question was the worst for me. I understood the reading material and videos, but I couldn't apply the concepts when it came to the practice questions.

The F2 questions were so bad, it actually made F3 seem easy – and I hated advanced accounting in college.

REG - 77 (8/27/13)
FAR - 83 (12/2/13)
AUD - 87 (5/13/14)

F2 was horrendous. It took me four hours to get through the first round of questions. I cried a lot. It gets better though. Just keep at it.

BEC: (4/2012) 88
AUD: (5/2012) 91
REG: (8/2012) 82
FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂

FAR F2 is horrible. Far is my last section and F2 is probably the worst I've felt so far.

Hopefully it will work to just push through it and hope for the best on exam day. If anyone has suggestions on what works when dealing with the F2 battle, the help is much appreciated.

For some reason Bonds are worst for me, the detachable warrants and all the different methods to account for that Sh** I feel like F2 is overwhelming when you first see it since its coming of F1 which is by far the easiest. But I feel like F2 is really not that hard once you learn it compared to other chapters it terms of going through your final review. At least F2 is mainly stuff taught in college compared to government/non profit/pensions/ leases all that random specific stuff. Maybe its just me but let me know if you're like me and think F2 turns out to be an “easier” chapter after all is said and done

Officially done.
