    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. 🙂

    @CPA Mommy CPAExcel only provides limited access as well. This really through me off more on more than one test before I realized that in my studies I was never using the whole AL!

    FAR- 85 I'm DONE!
    BEC- 75
    REG- 60,60,75
    AUD- 74,74,83

    CPAExcel used for BEC, AUD, REG
    Exam Matrix used for FAR plus NINJA Blitz, cpareviewforfree and a little CPAExcel

    I was shocked when I took my first AUD test and realized the codification was way bigger than anything I had used to study with. I was much more prepared on my retake and used the AL to the last minute of possible time. I found several word for word in the AL. Saved my butt on the SIMS for sure.

    I just got my score release. Now I know why I failed FAR.. Damn. Not that I don't know but I did not read my questions..made up my questions. I was rushing to get to sims. had about 2 hours for SIMS.

    Any idea on how to improve time management?

    @ Tee the outlines I am talking about is for each chapter in becker but I think @rvcpa is talking about the ALs.

    we all get free access to the full codification for 6 months with our nts so try using that to get familiar with it if you are not.

    Recognition problems:

    26. On October 1, year 1, Acme Fuel Co. sold 100,000 gallons

    of heating oil to Karn Co. at $3 per gallon. Fifty thousand gallons

    were delivered on December 15, year 1, and the remaining

    50,000 gallons were delivered on January 15, year 2. Payment

    terms were: 50% due on October 1, year 1, 25% due on first

    delivery, and the remaining 25% due on second delivery. What

    amount of revenue should Acme recognize from this sale during

    year 1?

    a. $ 75,000

    b. $150,000

    c. $225,000

    d. $300,000

    27. Amar Farms produced 300,000 pounds of cotton during the

    year 1 season. Amar sells all of its cotton to Brye Co., which has

    agreed to purchase Amar’s entire production at the prevailing

    market price. Recent legislation assures that the market price will

    not fall below $.70 per pound during the next two years. Amar’s

    costs of selling and distributing the cotton are immaterial and can

    be reasonably estimated. Amar reports its inventory at expected

    exit value. During year 1, Amar sold and delivered to Brye

    200,000 pounds at the market price of $.70. Amar sold the remaining

    100,000 pounds during year 2 at the market price of

    $.72. What amount of revenue should Amar recognize in year 1?

    a. $140,000

    b. $144,000

    c. $210,000

    d. $216,000

    Why is #26 b if #27 is c?

    AUD: 84
    REG: 84
    BEC: 79
    FAR: 83

    @CPAMommy, CPAexcel has it but when I am pressed for time in the exam…the last thing I want to do is waste time searching…especially when I had 2 research questions…I guess I will have to increase my speed on MCQs so I have time to research all SIMS.

    KRina, emailing you now!

    OMG, just got my score report and I was weaker in MCQs! I definitely have to improve my speed and memorization of the little details…I cannot believe it…

    Florida:
    AUD: 73, 81! Thank you Lord!
    BEC: 73, 77! Thank you Lord! and WTB
    REG: 71, 82! Thank you Lord! and A71
    FAR: 72, 78! Thank you God and my Mommy in Heaven!

    I got my report as well and was weaker in Sims and on specific transactions. Stronger on Gov and comparable on the rest. I feel like I have to restudy everything 🙁

    @samdiegoCPA only 50k gallons were delivered in year 1. Revenue can't be recognized until total service has been performed in this case the delivery of the gallons.

    @cpamommyof3 – yes! i had to wait and refresh about 6 times but it finally went through so I am locked in for 4/12.

    Also just got my report back.

    Weaker: framework and standards, simulations

    Comparable: FS accounts, govt

    Stronger: specific transactions/events, nonprofit

    MCQ: comparable overall..

    So im very close, but yet no cigar. I did 80 MCQ last night. Celebrating 5th year anniversary tonight, and then on to 80 MCQ each day plus simulations on the weekend.

    BEC: 65 - 79* - 84 DONE
    AUD: 65 - 76 DONE
    REG: 63 - 77 DONE
    FAR: 65 - 63 - 67 - 69 - 73 - 71 - 83 DONE

    samdiegoCPA – 26 is the general rule about delivery that AleFLCPA said. 27 is an exception for certain precious metals and farm products… “Revenue Recognition at the Completion of Production is used for certain precious metals and farm products which may have a fixed market price and unit interchangeability”

    FAR 97
    REG 91
    AUD 5/30/14
    BEC 7/11/14

    @PocketsWithCash – thanks for the detailed auditing approach you provided as well as the approach you take with the SIMS. I found that I did the same thing as you during my AUD exam with the SIMS as you did for FAR. I mean, they give you the Codification for a reason, why not use it?

    Thanks again!

    AUD: DONE
    FAR: DONE
    BEC: DONE
    REG: DONE

    IM GOING TO BE A CPA!!!!!

    Since I would like my score to be released on Wave 1, 5/5 , I am thinking I should sit not later than 4/18.

    I am still waiting for my payment notification coupon in my email.
