@Docj

Here are two pages from the FAR NINJA Book that you might find helpful: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j677u4078o6xgky/Contingencies.pdf?dl=0

Nice! 😀

Also ugh, reading that now makes me realize I got some wrong (though can't remember). This mighta just been luck of the draw on my exam, but there was a LOT of contingency questions 😮

Oh my God, it is so hard to stay focused. This corona and presidential debate and I have children in various states and out of the country trying to come home. My niece is in the military and scared to death. This world is in a chaos, but I still want to be a CPA. I guess I better turn off CNN and go study.

“guess I better turn off CNN”

Well I mean, you should be doing that either way, not just cuz you gotta study :p

[Tncincy]

So I hear there will be an nts extension due to the Virus. I am glad because I really couldn't concentrate anyway with so much going on. I guess I will keep up with what's going on and study as well. Hope everyone is staying safe.

My best advice for you is to attend classes or tutorials for this. You probably forgot the basics and the foundation on this subject. But don't let attending tutorials interfere with your focus and discipline on doing a self study for your preparation. I hope this helps.

My weekend goal is to knockout as many MCQs as possible and review GOV’T and NFP books.

My weekend goal is to complete 3 modules and review rev recognition.

My weekend FAR study goals are:
1. To reschedule my 5/11 exam in NYC until after the current “NYC on Pause” date, 5/15,
2. Email my dad all my FAR NINJA Notes/study material to print and mail to me, and,
3. Plan out my study schedule through to my new exam date.

I’ve been struggling to make myself study with no real end in sight to this virus lockdown – you’re not alone. One of my excuses for not studying is not having the physical pages in front of me. From passing REG this January, I know that being able to write notes directly on the material makes a huge difference for me and helps me stay on task.

Congrats Bryan – you’re the winner! Please email jeff@another71.com. HIYA!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the study goal challenge (I just named it that). I selected winners by counting the number of study goal posts in each group and then using a Randbetween Excel function to select the post number. I then counted down from the top of the screen. I wasn't real clear on where to post, so I counted people posting in the thread, as well as on the page. I'll do this again – probably Monday – and give people more time. Thanks everyone 🙂

Well tax season is about over, business is really slow so I guess I better study. I am going to start from the beginning (chapter 1 ). I'll take a evaluation quiz to see what I remember and get started. Even though I am not excited about Surgent, It's what I have, so I guess I'll use it. I think if I get started I won't feel so drab about it. I have not rescheduled far yet, I think the seat availability is still locked. But I plan to be ready.

@Tncincy sounds like a great plan! Hopefully Surgent works for you and/or you find a way to make it work. Good luck!!!

Hi all,

Having trouble getting through MCQs with Roger. I feel like I am doing fine with the lectures and the notes, and completely understand the examples they go through in the book and lecture. When I get through the section and go on to the MCQ practice tests, I do horrible. Anyone else have this issue? What's the best way to correct it? Just read the text more thoroughly ? Specifically for Section 3 – Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
