    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!

    @casagarber thanks for your suggestions yesterday- i went through and memorized all the journal entries & watched the Yaeger lecture (MUCH better than Rogers) and I went through the MCQ's again. Bonds make so much more sense now. I think I'll go thru the MCQ's a few more times just to make sure I have them down. Feels good to be comfortable with such a foreign topic 🙂

    @wendy I actually had purchased it already and then really didn't like the format so I bought Rogers. Which course are you using for review right now? I would go to CPA for free or try to find youtube videos from Rogers or Yaeger or another course on bonds. I didn't think that Rogers did a terrible job but I was so confused by them that I needed a course that would really break it down for me

    another option would be to buy the FAR ninja audio and see if that helps.

    Is anybody spending time memorizing the PV function for Excel? Rogers didn't even mention this in his lecture but I did see it in Yaeger. I have also come across MCQ's on the Wiley Testbank & I didn't have access to a spreadsheet nor were the PV factors given. Wtf, CPA exam…

    @mustpass1988, since you bring it up I will be looking for the PV factors as I study. It is amazing how one review course can see something important and another don't cover the topic all and another is too thorough….decisions… decisions.

    It begins with a 75
    Been here too long as a cheerleader....ready to pass
