So I have been reading most everyone’s post about FAR since I started studying for it back in February. I see that some topics are tested more than others and those are the ones that I struggle the most with (Bonds, Leases, EPS, IFRS, etc). If I focus on these heavily tested topics including Gov’t/NFP, Accounting Changes, SCF, etc. would you think I would be somewhat prepared for the exam coming up? I am going through the AICPA Released Questions as well as this covers all topics, so I am reviewing other things as well.

I know anything can be thrown at you on the exam.

Any advice would be great!

FAR - 46, 79 (7/8/14)
AUD - 56, 59, 2/23/15 3rd times a charm!
BEC - 69, 74 Really??
REG - April, I hope. Fingers crossed!

I'm starting my review in 2 weeks and I plan to go thru and write down every single JE, all of the mnemonics, and all of the IFRS vs. GAAP differences. I also started a FAR cheat sheet this last weekend and I basically spend a hour each day, going through a few sections and writing down the key items to remember/that I have a hard time with. Might be a beneficial thing to do during your review.

AUD: PASSED [81]; Expired, retaking August 23rd
BEC: PASSED [83]; Expired, retaking July 11th
REG: PASSED [83]
FAR: FAILED [64]; Retaking May 23rd

Thanks for the information guys. I am planning on devoting a full day to just IFRS and get down all the rules. I am on the 2012 AICPA Released Questions and hope to get through more years come end of next week. Hope to kill this thing, but we shall see. First test so nerves may take over instead.
