@CPA50 don't worry about time value of money and bonds, that was my weak area and i passed the MC of that on Gleim with 85% lol. So i KNOW anyone can do it. Harder concepts WILL click to you because it all goes into the present value/fair value which you will revisit over and over gain. You'll find it's very basic foundation information. You can't properly put together a Balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement etc unless you know what amount to list for securities, income from leases etc. If i partly have a chance at all this stuff, i know anyone does. Non current liabilities and PV of money used to give me anxiety.
@Jspann22 i recommend the ninja MC. I was skeptical at first but the format will be so refreshing. It's so simple, no fuss, and i think is a better indicator if you know core concepts. I was scared because lets face it, Jeff & Ninja is new to the CPA study materials world. But every question is backed up with AICPA literature, which i think people get scared of but it's a simply go-to rule book. Gleim, becker, etc questions get so filled with excess information, it's easy for you to memorize them by unique factors in the question that have nothing to do with a concept. Like if a question is mentioning about a fire, and flood all on the same day as miscellaneous info, it's easy to memorize.
I just did SIMs for NFP, & Non governmental, scored an 82.5%! How? Because you can use the research tab when doing sims, lol PLEASE Do not forget this during test day. Do not become scared of the authoritative literature, it is your friend.
