DON'T MOVE IT! You'll regret it… just hit the books hard this week! Enjoy May, and worst case, you take it again in July. But at least by taking it now, you'll know your fate by the end of May! I am not studying today, I am burnt out. I am going to hit the books hrd Sunday-Tuesday. Then hope for the best Wednesday!

Thanks, you're right. I can't stand the thought of waiting until mid to late June for my score. Today is just a low day… feeling defeated. Maybe I'll just study for about an hour more and take the rest of the day off to chill out.

I just took FAR today, for third time.

On my first exam, I worked on MC when I realized that there is not too much time left for simulations, and I end up leaving some tabs blank on first simulation and compleate only one tab in the second one. Failed with 74

On the second exam, I answer as fast as I could at MC questions to have enough time to answer to simulations.

On the simulations, I couldn't finish all tabs, but I feel that I did much better than first one. Failed with 71.

For today's exam, I studied as much as I could. I did good on MC, but I still end up guessing on 2 or 3 of them.

First sim was difficult. A lot of information all over and too much to read about. Second one, not as hard as first one ,and include some topics from governmental accounting.

evaianos,

If you only guessed on 2 or 3, that sounds good! I'll bet you did well.

Instead of studying today, I regrouted my kitchen. It was way more fun.

[PursuitCPA]

Impressive. Could of sworn had to guess on more than 10. They are making it hard. Genius

Hey, I want to say that I just pick an answer for 2 or 3 questions, because I didn'y know which is the right answer.

For the rest of questions, I answer the best as I could. However, I am not sayng this to explain how bed or good I did on my exam. The reason is to share with you from my experience taking FAR and score 74 when I didn't expect over 70, score 71 when I expect over 75, and don't know what to expect from third one when I studied the best as I could.

Is anyone who feel the same way after taking FAR or is just me How much I should learn for this exam? Should I quit?

I used Kaplan as study material. Anyone else using the same material to share from their experience?

FAR and AUD are the only exams which I took until now . I am still waitng for my first AUD score, but I think that AUD it is much, much easyer than FAR.

i took it friday and feell there is no way i could have passed i didnt leave myself enough time and on etwo of the tabs in the second simulations i only had like 5 minutes left and they were journal entries so i just clicked and tried to fill in accounts as quick as i could and didnt even have time to fill in amounts, i probably failed and it sucks cuz i feel i could have passed if i had just given myself another 10-15 minutes.

pretty mad about this esp cuz the two tabs i didnt have time for were probably two of the tabs i would have done pretty good on

[AARON]

Any advice on what areas to study more than others based on your experiences? I have 2 days left, and I am working all the supplemental questions again…

dont sweat the really hard mult choice questions, there arent any on the exam, none of the problems are as involved as a lot of the becker questions are,

also id say make make sure u know all the main points in non profit and governmental and also most of all know journal entries

and id say make sure u leave urself more time than u think u need for the sims

[PursuitCPA]

sims dont matter, you have to pass the questions.
