    Not that I'm aware of.

    Accounting terminologies are just crazy jumbled that we have to keep up.

    Just like:

    Replacement cost = Current Cost = Acquisition Cost
    Current MV = FV
    Functional Currency = Local Currency
    Market Rate = Effective Rate = Yield
    Nominal Rate = Coupon Rate = Stated Rate = Contractual Rate
    Robert = Bobby = Bob = Bill = Will = Willie = Willy
    James = Jim = Jimmy = Jimboy = Jaime

    I believe Jeff posted a guideline on the material changes. However, Becker book (the new version) DOES HAVE ARO as part of the Liabilities chapter and tones on SIMs on it so I would study that if is still not clear whether or not it would be on exam.

    Thanks for the love yall. My test was trash. I will be back in Sept, better get me an auditing book out. Whatever topics you are dreading, hit them hard! My topics were pretty much all “minor” and all over the place! Btw, You have to be speedy gonzalez with the new format, it is ridiculous. I normally kill research questions but mine was soooo vague on this one..couldn't even get it. I wasted an hour on mcq 1, hour on mcq 2, an hour 5 min on the 2 question sim testlet, which included the stupid research and drs. I had 3 drs total, one on each testlet. Those were actually the better sims. Spent 30 mins on sim testlet 2 and 20 mins on sim testlet 3. Sim testlets 2 and 3 include 3 sims btw, so i couldn't really check my work like i wanted to 😐 . I'm in my car typing on my phone and kind po'd so sorry for the grammatical errors. More to come!

    Btw if a topic has more than 15 mcq in your review program, just skip it. Focus on the topics with 1 or 2 questions lol

    @mtaylo keep your head up man! People have come out of this thing feeling horribly and still passed, so don't count yourself out!!! Thanks for sharing your experience. Were your DRS questions similar to the one on the AICPA practice test? I don't mean the content, but like doing the same type of thing?

    Just got out of the test center. Not trying to discourage but that was the hardest test I've taken, ever. I only got 1 DRS sim and the others were EXTENSIVE multiple entry sims. I literally almost started laughing and walked out. 0% chance of passing, and I don't even know how I would study for a retake.
