    Okay so I just took my first full length practice test and scored 68 🙁 man this brings me down- I feel like I know this material back and forth, can explain it to myself and others and yet I get to the answering questions part and its like my brain just shuts down. CRAP… its going to be a long at this point 5 days….

    and they ask me why I drink...

    FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
    REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
    BEC- 8/11
    AUD- 9/2

    @mckan what material are you using remember the practice tests are much more challenging than the real test at least that's been my experience also the questions that you missed did you understand why were they careless mistakes or did you just not know the material. It's better to get the 68 now then the day of the exam you're only 7 points away think positive because if you don't pass it there's absolutely no hope for me.

    Practice test was Ninja- I am afraid to take a Gleim one ha ha ha ha….
    I did “decent” on the MCQ's- 76, 78 and 80 on the three testletts — but the Sims just SLAUGHTERED ME… even got the research ones wrong— it is so frustrating- and I read over why I got things wrong and I KNOW the answers I just can't seem to know it in test format…. grrrrrrrrrr

    @mckan514w – That's why I stopped taking practice tests, I psych myself out – I could barely speak going into the room the first round and had to spend time at the beginning just talking myself down. My actual exam scores were ALWAYS significantly better than the practice tests.

    Just remember EVERY QUESTION YOU GET WRONG, YOU LEARN SOMETHING. Keep hitting the stuff you know least, and learn from every mistake. Know that, by working on your worst subjects you are making the most improvement with each problem or question.

    No matter what, you will survive test day, just hang in there!

    @mckan Were you timing yourself or did you just take as long as you needed to. Mcqs are 60% of our scores so that's great that you did better on that. #keeppushing

    Thanks for the encouragement guys!! I honestly don't know how I would make it through this without this thread! It was timed- and I think I managed my time pretty well- I ran out of time on my last FAR–which sucked…..I know I just have to practice some more and keep hitting those weak spots– THIS EXAM SUCKS!!!

    On an IFRS operating lease, my materials say that all gain is recognized if sale price = fair value (which is generally the case). What happens if the sale price is higher or lower than fair value? Not finding that…

    I have FAR coming up, I honestly feel worse than I did back in December. Haven't been doing well on the Wiley questions. I'm pretty much doing questions, taking notes, reading Ninja notes and re-reading the notes I took.

    OK, I found it on IASPlus:

    Under IFRSs, the recognition of a gain resulting from a sale-and-leaseback transaction in which the leaseback is an operating lease differs depending on whether the transaction is established at fair value. Paragraph 61 of IAS 17 states that the profit or loss resulting from a sale-and-leaseback transaction should be accounted as follows:

    If the sales price is established at fair value, the profit or loss should be recorded immediately. If the sales price is below fair value, the profit or loss is recorded immediately unless “the loss is compensated by future lease payments,” in which case the loss is “deferred and amortised in proportion to the lease payments over the period” of expected use. “If the sale price is above fair value, the excess over fair value shall be deferred and amortised” over the asset's period of expected usage.

    @CanPassAttitude – I'm trying to think that without getting overconfident. I SOOOO want to go out to dinner with my friends, and catch up on the TV shows I've been ignoring, and play with my adorable toddler nephew I've only met twice…

    SIX MORE DAYS of discipline. Then I'm going a little wild after the test! (can you call it going wild if you arranged a designated driver two weeks in advance?)

    I love your screen name by the way!

    Hi All – just wanted to check in and wish you all luck. I am 1 week away from FAR and I am trending at 70% with only 200 questions not seen. I have a feeling I will utilize this thread in the next week. I've been finding a lot of your explanations very helpful so thank you!!
