    I’m trying to get some ideas for the tricks that we might miss. Here are some from my past experience:

    Trick#1: least, except, not, … etc

    Trick#2: $0 answer

    Trick#3: Dates (semianual, x/12 mo)

    Trick#4: watch out “all, must, always, only”

    Any more ideas, please kindly post…

    edit: woops… didn't see that that was trick 3… lol

    Trick 5: When all the answers are true/correct, but not correct under some specific context

    REG: 85
    AUD: 74, 85
    FAR: 74 (sigh)
    BEC: 80 (don't even ask me how)

    When I say C-P you say 'Ayyyyy show me the money'

    Thanks for sharing…

    I just found out:

    Trick#6: Net of Tax

    Learning something new each day…and…

    wondering why many people see this post but don't want to share some insights/observations…

    We can learn and pass this together. 🙂

    I love those “all, always, only and must” tricks….. I quickly eliminate those answers and save a few seconds

    Yes, I like that trick, too. Very useful with REG; not so much with FAR though.

    Hopefully few more FAR experts would be willing to share their tricks 😉

    Trick # 8: Don't over think it.

    Sometimes when doing MC questions I find way more elaborate ways of going about answering the question because it can't be that easy right? Well most of the time it is, so trust your instincts.

    FAR 4/9/12- PASSED
    BEC 7/13/12- PASSED
    AUD 8/16/12- Ughhh 71, Rematch: 90!!!
    REG-12/6/12 PASSED

    USC MAcc- Fight on!

    They say good things come to those who wait, but only those things that are left by those who hustle.
