    Hey all, what's your approach to remembering disclosure requirements? I start to get lost and overwhelmed when I try to remember all the details associated with disclosures and would rather focus on other actual GAAP and IFRS concepts.

    Are you devoting substantial time to disclosures or, like me, hoping for a limited number of questions on these?

    @Rache1, It hard to remember what should be disclosed. According to Becker, disclose everything, the more the better. I just read through what should be disclose and I am sure I am not gonna remember all the stuff I read.

    Yes, NYCaccountant is doing good and will pass with a good margin. I wish I had NYCaccountant as a study partner. There are many questions in becker don't make sense but I am moving on next.

    OK, I am now through all of the Becker materials for FAR, including having done all of the MCQs until they were right and taking copious handwritten notes on every chapter. Now the review begins, including all of the Wiley test bank. I've got 16 days and I WILL pass this thing. (Can you tell I'm giving myself a pep talk, LOL.)

    Oh, and for all of you who intend to have children, I apologize in advance that they will never know what a “tree” is because I have killed them all in my pursuit of this exam. FAR alone is responsible for the death of an entire rainforest in Brazil. Sorry kids.

    Waiting on my NTS to come in. Planning to take FAR on Nov 30th.

    My Study Plan (w/Becker):

    1) Starting on 9/16.

    2) 2 sections/week (reading & lectures Only)

    3) Once I complete reading & lectures for all sections, I will take a 90Q comprehensive progress test.

    4) Identify weaknesses (80 or below) by section from progress test results.

    5) Go back to section(s) and review material.

    6) Take another 90Q comprehensive progress test.

    7) Repeat steps 4, 5 & 6 up until 1 week before exam date.

    8) Review material still weak on and take a few light progress tests (30-60Q) during final review week leading up to exam date.

    I took this efficient and effective approach when studying for the AUD Exam. Becker does a great job of outlining the material, but it becomes inefficient and ineffective when you consider having to read, watch lectures, do homework, Sim, & progress tests. On my first go around with the Becker material, I had trouble retaining all the material when attempting to complete 100% of the assignments section by section. By the time I finished F10, I forgot F1-F6 and had to refresh my memory.

    Attacking the material from a high level first, then digging through the details by weakness proves to be an efficient and effective way to tackle lengthy material such as FAR.

    Hope this helps. Good Luck Everyone.

    AUD – 82
