What would you guys say is the best way to study journal entries for FAR. I have CPAexcel and am pretty weak on JE but I have no clue exactly how to study them or where to begin.

Thanks!

I kept a notebook and sectioned it by the sections in the book. Every time I ran across a new journal entry I put it into the notebook. When I was working problems that could possibly require a journal entry I put the numbers in t accounts and then into journal entries. It took some extra time but that's what worked for me. I reviewed the journal entries notebook multiple times and rewrote it once or twice.

Make sure you understand t accounts as that will help you figure out how to set up the journal entry

I was never taught T accounts, like ever. Maybe an instructor gave an example on a few problems but that was IT! :/

I definitely wish I was one of those people who got all 4 exams done in 4 months, but unfortunately LIFE (being a newlywed, stress, adjusting to newlywed life and cpa exam study life, as well as starting a job with a Big4 which I am very happy about) got in the way, just happy that I am passing period!!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
