I'm a little late to this party, took REG on Wednesday and had one night off from studying before I opened my FAR book. I have 58 days to get through it.
My plan: spend four weeks going through book & lectures, and spend another four weeks on MCQ and second review with Bob Monette.
If anyone needs to feel a little better about not passing, here's some back story:
I sat for FAR six months after graduation and five months into my first job in public, knowing I was completely unprepared. I kept bumping out my test date until
I hit the last day of the window. At that point, I figured I'd at least benefit
from the experience since my fees
were already sunk costs. I think I had made it through 9 or 10 sections in Roger, but not much effort beyond watching the lectures and reading the book. I left the test center laughing like a crazy person ‘cuz I realized I had ZERO chance of a 75.
I got a 26. LULZ!
Three years later, FAR is a lot less intimidating. Most of my work experience has involved preparation of full
financials, from booking journal entries
to writing the footnotes. Govt and NFP will be new tsrritory, but the rest should be reasonable. If O passed REG this week, this will be my last section. I
start losing credit in August, so I hope I can
kill this exam with one “real” shot. I
