    Testing day after.. last section.. freaking out is an understatement at this point.. stomach’s getting huge butterflies just thinking that my exam is less than 48 hours away.. I know it’s normal to feel nervous as I have been for the other sections too.. but this one is special because I don’t know what to expect.. I don’t know how well prepared I am.. usually I’m able to tell atleast to an extent.. but for this section, I just don’t know….

    All I know is this is my last section and I need to clear it before I start losing credits… Any last minute tips from you successful FAR beasts? For these last 2 days..? My plan is to just do sims and questions today, and read Non Profit and F10 (Becker), and then tomorrow just go over my mistakes and read some more notes..

    Please share your thoughts.. Also, is the score on WTB practice questions a good estimate of your final score on the exam? Or has anyone faced significant differences, either upwards or downwards in their actual exam score?

    Sorry. Took last night off. So what's the question? If you're talking about specific FAR material you may get better/faster answers by posting in the study group thread. I lost a lot of my FAR knowldge the minute I walked out of the exam. As far as finding JEs in the codification, you would look in the section that the question is discussing. Some JEs are there (not written DR Account XXX and CR Account XXX like you are used to seeing, but they will say you need to debit the asset and credit the liability, etc. I can't remember exactly how some of them are worded, but I know I found some when I was working SIMS from the WTB. You may have to interpret what they are saying. I think it's better to just know your JEs going into the test than to spend time searching for JEs. Formulas are also in the codification and they help a great deal with some SIMS. In AUD you could find answers word for word. FAR requires a little more understanding of the material to know where to search and how to interpret what you find in the codification.
