I took FAR in august, got a 67. I work in corporate tax so the rest of august, all of september and up until today, has been tax returns. Not sure how to get started back up or where to start.. I need to take FAR in November. I have Becker and then the cram from Roger…

My rematch with FAR is in November. I also use Becker. I've been devoting every spare minute I have to studying. I'm sure you know where your weak areas are. I would start with those and get comfortable. No sense in starting with material that you already know.

The tallest oak in the forest was once just a little nut that held its ground.

Hiya JM!

I'm right there with you, except I'm retaking next week.

I went through my test banks – Roger and Fast Forward – with an Excel spreadsheet open. Retyped all the MCQ in Excel

and worked through each question slowly and methodically with JEs and any additional information I could remember about the topic. Figured out the why behind the question as well as the holes in my understanding. I realized that with the FAR material, I needed to do the financial problems on a spreadsheet because that's how I'm used to working.

It seems to have helped, and we'll find out how much next week 🙂

Best wishes,

AUD 88 (expired), 80 retake
FAR 64,69,67,73,67,73,73,73, August 3
REG 75 (expired) September 7
BEC 72, 77

The adventure continues...

its kind of all a blur to me 🙁

I probably 100 pages of notes I typed myself while going through the becker material and then I used roger to hit on some areas that I couldn't figure out.
