    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!

    Everyone feels overwhelmed, it's natural. There's TOO much material.

    But have faith, there's only 90 questions and they can't possibly test everything!

    @kickash – I feel similar and would also like any last minute advice. D-day is tomorrow for me.

    I know that I have a good handle on most of the material, but you just never know what you are going to be tested on. No review material seems to have a handle yet on how/what is tested for IFRS which is a little scary.

    Good luck to everyone taking FAR on these last two days in the test window! The goods news is we only have to wait approx. 1 week for scores. I get more nervous on score release day than on exam day.

    I just got back from FAR…it was honestly the hardest section I've sat for. I did nearly 3000 MCQ's and there were a lot of questions on the test that I didn't know. I got so many questions that were little tiny details that weren't covered in my material at all. Ugh, I just wanted this thing to be over with!!

    You must also have a printed copy of your notice to schedule.

    Good luck everyone!! From experience, it does no good to get all upset and anxious before the exam. Just tell yourself that you've done all you can and what happens, happens. You've done your best! All that you can do.

    @MrsBing – you need to bring the correct NTS with you. The section ID is what you use to login on the computer screen and they check it when you check in. the name on the NTS needs to match your ID.

    just got back from the exam….can't say anything about pass/fail

    all the three teslets were easy , nothing got tough and very straight questions…no tiny details…so i am tensed that may be i didn't do good on 1st testlet so got the others this way….

    Simulations were tough…i guessed a lot and some topics i did not look at the end so did only by far memory…lots of questions from IFRS but easy ones…the Exam was all over the place in regard to topics…can't miss any topic…remember all the rules…

    Hope this detail helps near future givers …All the best for the results…

    Just finished FAR. I think it went okay. I'm not sure one way or the other if I got enough points to pass. It's hard to tell what the hard and easy questions are because its all relative. Do you think the AICPA considers government and non profit questions easy, for example?

    The MC were primarily on 4 topics, three of which I did not think were supposed to be heavily tested. But, I think I did okay anyway. The SIMS were confusing. There were 4 that I just couldn't quite understand what they wanted although the topics were familiar to me.

    June 7 cannot come soon enough! I think I will be on the fence.

    My test is in about 5 hours. I'm going over some SIMS and will review my notes again in the parking lot while I eat my sandwich. I'm so nervous and scared. I just do not feel 100% prepared I did give it my all and I studied my you know what off.

    I want to get it over with so I can go home and finally get some sleep.

    If anyone else is testing today . . . Good Luck!!!

    I got out of my exam around 330. Not easy, but not impossible. Had one ridiculous simulation, which I'm assuming was the pretest. At least I hope! Lots of conceptual vs mathematical, which I was ok with.
