What review materials are you using? What are your study habits? How do you do on the practice questions? Do you take practice final exams? If so how do you do on those the first time through?

These are from Becker and I on progress test Ive been getting on average 80% too do they ask completed contract question this hard on the real exam? I been reading the book and using flash cards and doing progress test and rereading.

I hate to say it but completed contract seems like one of the easier topics that they could test on? I'd suggest if you fail this time around switch the study materials you're using. Maybe you need more of a “teaching” program rather than a “review” program like Becker?

I understand the formula its how they asked it on the practice exam it was to time consuming see… is it this hard on the CPA exam?

Faber Company was contracted to construct the Acme Building at a total contract price of $40,000,000. The company uses the percentage of completion method and anticipated a 10 percent gross profit on January 1, Year 1, the date the contract began. At December 31, Year 2, the company had recognized $1,200,000 in inception to date profit. Assuming the job was 40 percent complete, by what amount had total estimated project costs increased?

I think a question like that is about what you could expect on the exam but it seems on the difficult side to me.

If I were you, I'd go through every question that you're getting wrong, one by one, and understand why it was wrong and how they came up with the right answer.

That questions seems pretty fair game to me 🙁 Sorry….

also I got a 72 on BEC and I think I didn't do that well was because I came without my NTS launch code and I was struggling to get it before my exam I understand why I get most the question wrong…. what programs teach then I thought Becker was the best program?

That question seems fair game but it seems like it's on the difficult side. I think that would be one of the harder questions.

I got an 80% and 72% on my FAR Becker final exams and a 95 on the actual. So that's 21 points above my Becker %. Your becker % is 58.5%. Add 21 and you have a passing score!

Don't let those scores get you down; Becker's final exams are very, very difficult. Work Becker progress tests, keep the material fresh, get a good night's sleep, and go kick the real exam's ass tomorrow!

Yeah I agree the best thing to do at this point is relax and try to clear your head a little – at this point, worrying too much can be just as detrimental as not studying enough 🙂 I didn't realize the scores you posted were for Becker exams, those exams are much much harder than the actual. I scored 75 on my becker final exam and 91 on my actual exam. You can do it!

p.s. I've heard that yaeger does more of a “teaching” program whereas becker is mostly “review”. I've only used becker so I can't speak for yaeger, but that is just what I've heard 🙂

@killtaking…. i did horribly on the becker final exams that you are talking about (definitely worse than your score on the first one)… i only did the first one because it just made me want to cry. the actual test is NOT as bad, granted i passed with a 78… not a 98. I would just relax and get a good nights sleep tongiht.

In this short amount of time there is nothing that you can do that is going to magically make you twice as knowledgeable about everything. At this point you have to have confidence in yourself about the effort you have put in and keep your mind clear and focused.

AUD - 81, BEC - 74, 80, FAR - 82, REG - 81
Done!

[killaking]

took the exam yesterday I think did good but I dont want to hype myself for failure and the sims tabs varied hard to doable and there something things becker didnt cover.
