I'm just going to spend today doing some progress tests and then just review the book tomorrow before I go in. Hoping for the best and that I don't have a horror story to tell when I get out. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

canttakeit good luck. you should not freak out. I failed the first time with 73 but I think this test is totally doable. I think it is easier than BEC. just the volume of the material. you should be relaxed going in. please share your experience with us afterwards…

Thanks… I should know that freaking out does me no good. I'm just getting nervous 🙂 Last time I felt I had an easy test so I'll cross my fingers for that again and hope that I know more now to get me those 4 extra points.

I thought my test wasn't too difficult in January. It was easier than Becker. This time I am prepared for the worst. Are you seeing lots of JEs in the sims? I got nailed with those last time on every tab.

CPA wannabee,

Not a lot of journal entries except for 1 tab hardly about 6-7. However, the other tabs, they were was all over and you would need atleat 15 minutes just to read it. Unfortunately, I didn't even tried them because I was already running out of my time!

BEC - 82 Reg-87 Aud - 86 Far - 81 (THANX THE LORD)

your right January Test was doable. This exam was something else all JE's.

So I'm going to review JE's tonight and ratios. I tend to go blank in the example when it comes to JE's… I revert back to my first day of accounting 101 when I had no idea what was a debit or credit balance haha.

[FARbehind]

make sure you know the difference between the current ratio and quick ratio (acid test) and the fact that the quick ratio doesn't have the inventory in the numerator.

Can'tTakeIt, don't panic, just go in it knowing it's going to be rough and manage question by question. You can do it!

When I took it last window and got a 72, I walked out thinking… that wasn't horrible… this time… I walked out thinking WTF!

Not sure anything could have prepared me for the SIMs. They are just so detailed and time consuming! I am pretty sure I guessed on all of them! I actually spent more time on my COM because I knew I had no chance with the SIMs…

The first 60 questions took me 2 hours!!!

? AUD - 87 (8/12/09)
? REG - 77 (1/15/10
? BEC - 77 (1/6/09 - Expired) / 79 (11/18/10)
? FAR - 75 (2/11/11)

I really tend to believe the worse you feel leaving, the better your score will be. If I leave with over an hour left, I know it's gonna be another 71… hehehe
