    So, I purchased the video gold metal course from cpaexcel and the second topic is GAAP & Accrual accounting and theres like one page that talks simply about the fact that GAAP enforces accrual accounting….and then there’s 38 questions about accrual and cash-basis accounting…and i honestly do not remember a thing from school. I got great grades in school and i recently graduated in May…but i just don’t remember anything but the basic that i learned like in high school…i have my intermediate accounting books from Kieso 13ed…how can i go about this? I haven’t apply to take the exam yet but i will like to take it at the end of november since theres no exams in december and i think its way too long to study from now until january…someone help please!!!

    If you don't have a Wiley reference, you could either Google it or get Principles of Accounting book from the library. I still have my cliff notes and pocket sized Prinicples of Accounting I and II.

    It begins with a 75

    Well, the videos should explain the material?!? You watch them, you read the textbook, and then you do the MCQs! And take notes!

    I was a little confused when I came to that section the first time as well. It's meant as a review of the basics of accounting, and you may have to find outside sources. This website has been a good resource in helping to explain things. https://www.principlesofaccounting.com/

    Also, I went through the exam questions in study mode to see how they worked out the problems and took detailed notes. I then went through the next couple sections to make sure I had forgotten the answers – then went back and did the exam questions in study mode.

    FAR - 73, rematch in early April
    AUD - 5/14
    REG - 8/14
    BEC - 11/14
