Is it ok to start a FAR Study Group? I retook Audit yesterday and although I don’t have a gut feeling either way if I passed or not, I am going to start on FAR. I am using Becker self-study and purchased the Ninja Notes for FAR.

I am looking forward to reading a/b everyone’s progression. Good Luck!

Exam trick: read dates of bonds carefully, don't assume they are oustanding for full years. lol

R - 74;88
A - 84
B - 74;89
F - no study = 67; May 15 = 87 & done

Exactly! Make sure you pay attention to those dates! Just remember S-L amortization will be the same each year! Also, don't forget that if a bond is issued in between interest dates the investor has to prepay the portion of interest since the last interest payment date..in your example that is the $5,000

Thanks casagarber. I finally scheduled FAR for May 15th. Hopefully that's the right amount of time. I'm hoping to finish all the material by the 3rd week of April and then do review for 3 weeks. How are your studies going?

Getting through my F9 review today and working slots of 20 MCQs for major topics (leases, bonds, cash flow, pensions, deferred taxes, etc.).

I can't believe my exam is only like 2 weeks away – kinda scary. Keeping pushing through everyone!

FAR - 85
AUD - 99
REG - 85
BEC - 10/4/13 (Waiting)

@ MustPass1988, Yaeger can be confusing starting out. If you just listen to the videos, follow along in the Wiley book (but don’t try to read it on your own), look at the handouts when they tell you to in the video, and do the assigned questions after each chapter then you should be okay. However, I would recommend buying Wiley Focus Notes and read a chapter in the Focus Notes before listening to the Yaeger’s video over the chapter. As I listened to the videos, if I felt like I needed to take any notes, I would try to write them down in the Wiley Focus Notes or the Yaeger Handout. I would try not to use the Wiley book that much except for following along with the videos and doing the assigned homework problems in them.
