    @ Cortes, it takes me a long time to do 80 MCQ when I have a lot of calculations too, so you are not the only one!
    @ Papogator, I am still in shock at my 74 but I need to get it done. I need to get better at SIMS. I am pretty sure I did well on MCQs. Will see when I get my report back.

    The questions take FOREVER to get through, which makes studying hard.

    @Papogator24, thanks! I will have to try that.. Just so much material for FAR. Soon the nightmare will be over!

    @AccidentalAccountant – how do you find it having/using Becker and the ninja MCQ? I'm debating if I should purchase the ninja MCQ to get another feel for questions etc.. I missed FARE by 6 points, but I did not practice the sims and/or JEs.. so that is what I will try to focus on now..

    @CPAMADMAN, I have both Becker and NINJA MCQs, and the MCQs in NINJA are way more difficult than the ones in Becker. They only cost $47 and you get access to MCQs and SIMS. It is a great tool in my opinion! I am getting the 10 point combo this time.

    @CPAMADMAN I like the adaptive learning feature of the MCQs. I didn't practice SIMs which is why my grade report said I was “weaker” in those. Good thing…I was “stronger” in NFP which showed from my trending scores for Ninja. I'll be doing lots of Sims in both Becker & Ninja this time around. Gotta get those JEs down. Becker Practice Exams are amazing though! Hard but worth the time!!

    I speak fluent Spanish too. Donde esta el bano?

    @Kemi22, the first time I took AUD I messed up. I went through the entire Gleim in 3 months. Problem is I can only remember stuff from the last two weeks. So all the chapters from the first 2.5 months I totally forgot. When I switched to Ninja MCQ, they give you all the topics at the same time, so I could not forget anything. I will say the Gleim SIMS are good. The Ninja ones aren't …

    Sorry about the three 74's. I felt that pain twice. I hope you can get it in the next cycle!

    AUD - 74, 99 !!
    REG - 74, 92
    BEC - 83
    FAR - 73, 86

    Would someone happen to know why the answer is $1,900,000 and not $1,800,000? I don't know if I'm just missing a keyword somewhere. Shouldn't the availability make it so the 10% allowance is applied and not the 5%?

    Halderman County levies an imposed nonexchange form of tax in the year prior to the year of its intended collection and use. An enforceable legal claim does not arise until the period after the period of its intended collection and use. The following facts apply:

    On September 1, 20X1, the county levied $2 million of tax for FY 20X2—50% of the tax is due on January 15, 20X2, and the remainder is due July 15, 20X2.
    It is estimated 5% of the levy will be uncollectible.
    An enforceable legal claim for the September 1, 20X1, levy does not attach until January 15, 20X3.
    It is estimated 90% of the September 1, 20X1, levy will be collected during the period January 1, 20X2, through February 28, 20X3. The balance will be collected at a later date, or go uncollected.
    The County uses an “availability period” equal to two months following the close of the fiscal year, and has a fiscal year-end of December 31.

    How much revenue would be recognized at the entity-wide level for FY 20X2?
    A. $1,500,000
    B. $1,800,000
    C. $1,900,000
    D. $2,000,000

    Thank you! Any help with this is much appreciated

    Hey, I am considering the 10 point combo but I wonder if I will have time to go over the book or notes from now until my exam at the end of Jan? Do you have any comments or suggestions?

    Thanks

    i have been overwhelmed by the amount of material in FAR. Orz

    I took REG and I satisfied with the score. In REG, I just need to excel in some big topics and take easy on the rest. In FAR, it just looks like for whole 32 chapters, half of them are big topics and the other half are very big topic :(.In REG, a question consists of two topic is less likely to happen. Not likely they will put a single question asking you individual tax and corporation tax at the same time. But in FAR, questions consist of multiple topics happen all the time. I just don't know if I can use the same study strategy/method for REG in dealing with FAR

    Can anyone share the experience or feeling on FAR compared with REG exam?

    REG 90
    FAR 95
    AUD 98
    BEC 84

    @ZoyaFanatic from what I understand although the county chooses the availability period to measure revenue, that criteria wont be used on the gov wide F.S since they are prepared under the accrual method. So in those statements the county will only use the 5% uncollectible.

    Hello everyone, I need your advice. I just got my score for FAR 71. I am scheduled to take BEC on Jan. 30, 2016. I am through reading 3 out of the 6 chapters in BEC and have done 3 notepads worth of notes and completed about 200 Ninja MCQ's for BEC. I work full time and can max out 3 hours a day studying and maybe 5 hours on weekends. Would you guys advise I scrap BEC on Jan. 30th and take FAR or keep BEC scheduled for Jan. 30 and give myself a full month dedicated to FAR on Feb. 29th and if so is a month enough time to improve 4 points on FAR. Thanks.

    I am finishing my last accounting course for CPA requirement. I have been on this forum for about 2-3 weeks now and been reading all suggestions. I am trying to figure out which order should I take the exams in (I know there is no set order) but how do I tame this CPA lion? Which study guide is good? How much time should I spent studying before attempting exam? Any suggestions will be appreciated!!

    FAR - August 2016
    AUD - September 2016
    REG - October 2016
    BEC - November 2016
