    Thanks so much for that Mel!

    I'm really concerned with ones like Error Correction, PV Debt Restructure, Leases, Gov't / NFP, Currency, etc 🙁

    AUD- 97 1x
    REG- 81 1x
    BEC- 79 1x
    FAR- 88 1x

    DONE!

    10/1/12 to 2/28/14

    My contention is that memorizing the rules and formulas is half the battle. I was sitting my car today on the way back to SBUX and though about how great it would be if they did the CPA as a one-to-one interview, where they simply asked you to explain concepts, or answer questions. I know much more than I can decipher from some of these MCQ's, if that makes any sense. I just listened to investments (NINJA Audio) in the car… okay, concept down. Still, the AICPA has 3 out of 10 questions I'd get dead wrong, because of wording.

    I seem to recall one question from WTB where an incorrect use of semi-colon led me to believe a third share dividend was happening in June, when in fact they were beginning to present facts for October. It should not be in this way, IMO.

    Error correction is so easy in principle, but when it comes down to a SIM (like that one in Becker), the DrCr's multiply exponentially.

    AUD - 75*, 88 done 5/14! (*exp)
    BEC - 74 , 77
    REG - 65 , 76 (10 point combooo!!)
    FAR - 69 , 75

    Dr: perseverance
    Dr: intelligence
    Dr: luck
    . Cr: . advisory score

    If you have the time, go through your book page by page and write down every journal entry you come across with the explanation and also writing down any journal entries that come up in MCQs. If you don't have time then here are two links that people have posted recently.

    @zieba I agree. I sat on a one sentence question for REG because of the wording. I knew the topic and information, but one word was getting me hung up. I wish I could remember the word.

    AUD: 84
    REG: 84
    BEC: 79
    FAR: 83
