Given the time crunch, hit Gov't, NFP, Cash Flows, IFRS, and Consolidations as hard as you can! Good luck!

Class of 2012

In addition to jenuno's recommendation. Work a mix of MCQ's for all other topics…..non stop MCQ's for at least a week before your exam.

Done 😉

hello all ,

I have a question please regarding the NTS ; if I am going to apply an NTS for 2 parts at the end of Feb it will cover the period till the end of august ( which is the 6 months period ) , but what if I sit for one part at May and I did not pass that section ? can I apply for another NTS for that section to test at August ? Here in my case there are two opened NTS's but in which they are for different parts?

PLZ reply

Yes, you can have two open NTS's at the same time

Example:

I had an NTS that expired on 1/31/12 for REG. I applied for a new NTS for AUD on 1/11/12 and received it on 1/20/12

B - 79 PASSED (1/4 there!)
A - 77 PASSED (1/2 there!)
F - 79 PASSED (3/4 there!)
R - 83 PASSED (DONE!!!!!!)
Review Course: Lambers , Wiley and Ninja

I can tell you're using Bisk from your chapters. I JUST sat for FAR and the exact same thing happened to me. If you'd like to contact me offline about specific quirks with the Bisk stuff and the software my email is in my profile. You've been given some good advice here already though.

AUD - 88
FAR - 90
REG - 85
BEC - 88

It's time to get the study mojo back, and reading a few of these posts helps…but I can't help that nagging fear of “is my brain just wired differently? Am I a great communicator but a terrible organizer?” My first crack at FAR in Nov 2011, after studying 6 weeks (the last 2 most intensively) with Yaeger–I only got –I'm so ashamed to admit–a 53!

My degree from 2002 is in Finance, but I work as an “accountant” in government contracting–am I kidding myself? Are there certain people just “cut out for it” and others who should go back to their career counselor? I'm depressing you all, huh?

I'm hungry for encouragement, I have to try at least once more and I'm ready to isolate, live like a monk and eat, sleep, breathe FAR. I know people keep asking, but here I go again–any start-to-finish advice for a gal who's experiencing some doubt.
