    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!

    @ 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.

    @nashville79, for BEC I caught myself spitting on a portion of my noteboard and wiping it clean … like a big eraser, lol.

    FAR was my first with the noteboards and it wasn't that bad. I like it better because I can see what I'm writing (pencils were always kind of dull and faint esp. on the colored paper). I thought they give you new ones if you run out of space so no spitting required!

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

    I agree Tina. I was doing so good until I got to F4. It's not all bad but what is up with all these methods of inventory valuation. Becker even added a whole appendix dedicated to it but no lecture. aarrrggghhh!!!
