Yup installment and cost recovery. The rest I think if you skim through them it will be ok.

Indeed, I am working some insane hours. I knew trying to study during busy season was going to be an uphill battle. I just didn't think it would be this much. I barely have an hour of uninterrupted study time. At this rate, I'm simply re-playing lectures from areas I may have forgotten already or are inexplicably obscure *cough* Factoring of Receivables *cough* Leases *cough*.

On the bright side, I was able to push my exam back by a whole two days to Sunday, April 30!

Does anyone know if you can update the Becker book for $15 if you have a version older than V1.2 OR 1.3? I have a V1.0.

[alexisle88]

I would say cost recovery, installment sales.

May I ask if the SIMs involved eliminate JEs for intercompany?

[Anthony]

Probably can't be disclosed because of disclosure rules. Keep this in mind, sims could ask lot of things it could J/E, fill in the blank so on and so forth. You need to be very similar with the material to do well on sims.

@alexisle88

It would be wise to be familiar with the JE's, the thing is that you never know whats gonna be on the exam. I have taken all the exams more than once and it is never the same exam, what may show up on one exam is not on the next exam so that is why you should be familiar with all topics cause you never know what your gonna get.

@mtaylo what version of gleim are you using? Are the any trials or used copies out there?

[mtaylo24]

^^^I'm using the traditional review with audios, no videos. They should have a free demo on the website, I think they grant you access to ch. 1. There also may be a few books floating around ebay, that will have about 30 mcqs per chap x 20 chapters and 6 sims per chapter. The mega tb is really all you need though… I would recommend giving them a call and explaining that you didn't make it with a different course, and they may be able to get you a discount.

Does anyone have any tips for Inventory? Becker sucks at explaining this. The questions ask for things that are just NOT in the material. I have no idea what to do and I'm ready to give up…

Please help

What has my life come to? I've been dropping the text into this text to speech https://acapela-box.com and I'm cracking up with some of the voices. Just had Will (the bad guy) read to me about extinguishment of debt LOL

@cruzer, I think if your Becker subscription didn't expire yet then you can update your book for $15.

AUD 7/6/16 Passed
BEC 9/3/16
FAR TBD
