I’ve had a few requests for April/May Study Groups…March will be here before you know it.

In order to take an early April exam, you should begin studying…now. 🙂

Has anyone been using the Ninja MCQ's/ sims? Some of these becker questions take me so long, I have heard the ninja are more straight forward?

AUD - 73,91
FAR - 79 - Thank you God!
BEC - 73,79!!!!
REG - 92 whatttt??!

I used Becker review + flashcards, Ninja Audio, Ninja MCQ supplement on BEC and REG.

Done! Praise God!

Financial commitments/ encubarances are not reported in government-wide financial statements.

Answer is A

BEC Passed
FAR Passed
AUD Passed
REG Passed

[willpassby2014]

What is reported in fund statement is different from Govt wide financial statements. No Fixed asset will be recorded in this question since it is only encumbarance

BEC Passed
FAR Passed
AUD Passed
REG Passed

I have 5 days till the test and I am really burnt out. I feel like I master a subject and then I move on. I go back and answer questions and it is really defeating when I get something wrong. So for the next 5 days should I do Multiple Choice till I am blue in the face? I haven't taken a practice final exam because I feel like it may hurt my confidence. What to do to maximize my time in the next 5 days? Good news is that I am really slow at work so I will basically be studying full time. Any suggestions?

Jenni – In the same boat – So now I have starting doing pop quizs with all the topics together .

Example I do 30 Qs at a time and let the software randomly select it from all the topics and keep doing burst of these to help me stop forgetting the material.

At the moment I am doing the SIM's by topic just to make sure I can do them and I understand the concepts. Making stupid mistakes but its good I make the mistakes now and learn from them 🙂

Brainfarts – Have you taken the practice final exam or do you plan to?

I did one from Wiley and I got 81%. Now Wiley practice exams are not as good as beckers i think. So I am not sure if that is a good gauge to use.

I saw from the report that Investments, inventory and Business combinations I didn't do well in.

So now I am doing the batches of 30 mixed all topics. I think its come to the point where I just need to read the question and go with my instincts.

I am too busy second guessing and then I screw things up

[jennibfox]

I have wiley test bank as well as beckers. Maybe I should try a wiley final tomorrow. And then keep doing 30 mcq of mixed topics. This is my first test so I have definitely made some mistakes with my study tactics. I am just hoping for the best on Friday!

I feel you Lauren. I have been working my rear off studying for this thing but feel like i need to be at a different point with only 4 full study days to go. I am just looking for a 75. I wish there was a good way to figure out the most important topics. I am going to try to nail down govt and nfp tonight and tomorrow morning. Tomorrow work through some sims and refocus on 30 question mixed topic test. Maybe switch to some of the wiley test bank questions instead of just becker.

JRosen- I believe you said you didn't take the final exam practice. Do you think that was a good choice or do you wish you would have taken it.

Yep, I have until Thursday to finish my review and practice, I just don't really know how to best use my time. I have a feeling the SIMS will be tough for me so I am trying to practice some J/E's, but that is taking away from going over MCQ's etc. I just don't really know what I should be doing, trying to go at it as a comprehensive approach right now and not get too involved on one topic for too long.
