    @teeteenounouche I've made a point of looking over every journal entry I see in the book while I'm reviewing, but I haven't actually practiced writing them out yet. Thinking about doing that after I take the Final Exams…

    @CR7 I'm going to take one tomorrow and then spend Saturday reviewing, take the other Sunday, spend Monday reviewing everything, then test Tuesday. Does that sound like a good approach? Are there other things I should be looking for? Like I said, this is my first exam and, while I've spent 4-6 hours a day for almost a month now, I wish I would feel a lot more confident than I do right now.

    FAR: 86
    AUD: 88
    REG: 85
    BEC: 84
    DONE!

    teeteenounouche, Im also taking the exam on 2/28/13. Are you done with all the chapters yet? Im still finishing up Gov and Not for Profit, I dont know if I should skip ch10. I probably already forgot Ch1.

    Julia_anika,

    If you studied FAR in 3 weeks and got a 72, I think you found the questions easy because you have mastered the material. I really think you have been able to get a passing score. You know more than you think you know.

    CR7 you are way ahead of me! I just started this week with the readings and taking notes…I have gone over some MCQ and I definitely need to finish the readings before I seriously tackle them…

    Don't skip anything, just do practice questions over every topic to refresh your memory while you read new sections, that's what I am going to do…It always seems like the topics I think are not going to be tested are the ones I see all over the exam, lol

    BEC: 73, 77! Thank you Lord! and WTB
    REG: 71, 82! Thank you Lord! and A71
    FAR: 72, 78! Thank you God and my Mommy in Heaven!

    MassCPA2014,

    There is just too much information on FAR to feel 100% confident. I have read people getting a 92% on FAR,but coming out of the test thinking they have failed. Take both Finals from Becker, if you score 70% or better, you should be ready for the real exam. When I passed FAR and REG the first time around, the final exams from Becker were also passing scores.

    teeteenounouche, You are going to take the test with 8 weeks of preparation? When did you finish college? I have been studying since November, but the last time I took FAR was 7 years ago.

    I have been out of college for many years…I have been a CPA candidate but never actually sat for the exam until 2012…life gets in the way…

    Yes, 8 weeks of prep! I am trying not to make the same mistakes from my previous exams and knock this one out on the first try…I have AUD credit expiring in May so not taking any chances…

    I wish you all the luck. Let me go back and try to understand Governmental. I don’t think Becker does a great job at teaching Gov, and Not for profit.
