I have the becker and wiley books/online but I might need to supplement with something else

someone tell me that its not as hard as it seems 🙂

p.s. I took a 2 semester intermediate class for accounting, hopefully that helps?

I heard it really tests intermediate knowledge. There was a few people taking FAR at my test center for the 2nd time…but then I've had other people say that it's the easiest section because it's common sense accounting stuff.

B 2/12 87
A 11/11 90
R 8/11 86
F 5/12 88

in terms of volume, it really is a bear. by the time i finished F-9, i couldn't remember anything from F-1. but at the end of the day, none of that stuff will twist your mind and flat out stump you as long as you sit down and really try to master it.

FAR definitely covers the most amount of information. It is a lot to remember and can get complex with calculations. I believe it is the hardest section BUT the good news is that FAR is either you know it or you don't. Unlike AUD, where you have to use judgement and pick the best answer sometimes, in FAR is pretty clear cut. I enjoyed FAR the most and found it the most pleasant to read, but just make sure you give yourself enough time to study.

FAR- 75
REG- 82
BEC- 73, 79!! Its over. Am I dreaming?
AUD- 74, 74, 88

FAR definitely has the most material. But it's nothing that you can't handle 🙂

If you study hard, you shouldn't have any problems. There were only 2 or 3 questions on my exam that I know my review course never covered. Make sure you know how to proficiently do the more complex calculations – just having a familiarity with them won't cut it.

FAR has a huge amount of material to study, but it really just requires time. It depends on how quickly you can absorb information and how much practice you need to keep it all straight and separate in your head. Like someone above said, it's not too heavy on the “conceptual” stuff so it's more straightforward than other sections.Good luck!

FAR looks like a beast when you are studying for it, but the exam is not too bad. I was so nervous because it is my weakest area but i got the highest score so far. Just prepare for it and you will be fine.
