1. Approx exam date: Hope to take FAR late November/early December — waiting for the local community college to get approved to administer CLEP exams so I can take Principles of Management test to get the last 0.67 business credit needed to qualify to sit for the CPA exam. Started studying in the Summer but lost the drive to study when I found out I couldn't take the exam in Q3. Trying to get back to serious studying and remembering everything I already forgot.
1. Most comfortable with Financial Reporting Environment.
3. Weakest right now – Defined Benefit Plan, answering calculation questions fast enough, & understanding what some of the sim questions are asking for.
