    What is it that's hard to you about present values? Choosing the right factors?

    Yes, that and I don't really know how to analyze a question after I read it. Not sure what I should look for first when solving a present value of annuity, future value of this, that , etc.

    I'd just do a lot of MCQs. After a while you'll get a feel for them and be able to do any question.

    @747474 and @randomalt – Good Luck on your exams today! Knock it out of the park!

    @magatha – Good Luck on your exam tomorrow. I'll be right their with you at 8 in the morning.

    I just hope my nerves don't get the best of me like last time. I should feel more relaxed being I have sat through the horrible 4 hours before and know the process.

    AUD - 56, 59, 2/23/15 3rd times a charm!
    BEC - 69, 74 Really??

    Can anyone tell me why interest on the capital balance of a partnership capital account reduces the capital account when you are calculating the profit/loss? I don't get that at all

    @thechapman Interest increases the capital account. It would decrease the profit or increase the loss, however.

    @magatha – You must be reading my mind. Ice cream is my weakness and always makes matters better. I will probably treat myself to some Chickfila and ice cream 🙂

    What an opportunist…..lol wait,,, is that question on the test??????

    Anyway, good luck brave ninja's please update in the far experience.

    now I am studying for two parts, reg as well as far. 7/29 and 8/14. I can do it, and I will. I don't have much more to study for far. I am going to drill, drill, drill, mcq's. getting a feel for reg and then mcq's till test time. Time is out so not more rescheduling.

    It begins with a 75
