From my notes:

5 fund classifications:

Nonspendable fund balance

Restricted fund balance – restricted by law

Committed fund balance – formal government action

Assigned fund balance – intent of gvt board to use for a purpose

Unassigned fund balance

Restricted – govnt officials have no ability to change the use of the funds

Committed – use can be changed at a later date b/c the decision for its purpose was made internally

@Zack…

I haven't mastered a study schedule for a test yet. Everytime I make one out, I figure out it isn't working for me and have to change it. For BEC, I tried to spend at least one study session away from Becker a week. I would listen to the NINJA audio while going through the NINJA notes and write out to the side my additional notes. I would then do a few practice sessions in WTB. But one thing I did differently for BEC than REG, was listen to all the lectures first. I also started my “section” notebook. For BEC, it has a formulas section, notes section, and random facts from all the questions I missed. I really really liked this! I had my husband quiz me on all the formulas and I feel it was one of the factors of my sucess with BEC.

Sorry for all the spelling and grammer errors… it's the middle of the week and i'm tired!

{R: PASSED!! (I passed one!)}
{B: PASSED!! (Halfway there!)}
{F: PASSED!! (1 left!!!)}
{A: PASSED(I am done!!)}

Don't even get me started on how behind I am on MCQs! My schedule is so tight I can't think about it too much or I will think there is no hope! At least Govt. and NFP questions are done (averaged 57% on F8 and 72% on F9). Going to finish leases tonight and start on F7. I am working my way backwards based on what I think is most important. Here is my plan using Becker and NINJA. Oh and I am only doing 60% of the MCQs on the first round. I have no time!!

W 2/19 – MCQs F6 + F7

T 2/20 – MCQs F10

F 2/21 – MCQs F10

S 2/22 – MCQs F5, 4, 3 (10hr day)

S 2/23 – MCQs F3, 2, 1 (10 hr day)

M 2/24 – Finish F1 MCQs + rewrite fact nuggets (wish I had time to rewrite all NINJA notes)

T 2/25 – Mini MCQ sprints starting with weaker chapter

W 2/26 – Same (hoping for day off)

T 2/27 – TEST DAY

I know it is completely manic but I have to give it a shot! Any thoughts?

BEC: 73, 81
AUD: 85
FAR: 71, 77
REG: 74, 75...finally DONE! 😀

*This is my 2nd attempt at the CPA exam. For all of you who have failed this exam many times, given up on it, or taken a break like me, remember that it is still possible to finish what you started...failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently 🙂

@Zack.. I just meant I would make sure to have one study session .. say Thursday night's session and I would spend my two/three/four hours listening to the audio with the ninja notes. Then do a few practice WTB quizzes. I would get back to my normal becker schedule at my next study session (friday).

{B: PASSED!! (Halfway there!)}
{F: PASSED!! (1 left!!!)}
{A: PASSED(I am done!!)}
