    SO I know every test is different but does anyone have any insight on what has been heavily tested recently? I take the exam Monday and I need to narrow my focus….Thanks!

    Determined, this is a basic T account question:

    Beginning Balance of $47,000 for Y2

    + additional issue of $20,000

    – (solve)


    Ending Balance of $50,000

    @Deteremined…

    Let's think of this as just Accounts Payable. You start with 47,000 on your books for AP. During the year, you purchase equipment for another 20,000 on credit. At this time you now have 67,000 on your books for accounts payable.

    At the end of the year, you have 50,000 on accounts payable. You must have paid 17,000 to get it to that.

    I know I just switched bonds for accounts but I hope this helped conceptually understand it

But it ain't how hard you're hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

    Gem City's internal service fund received $50,000 cash from the general fund that does not need to be repaid. This should be reported in Gem's internal service fund as a credit to:

    answer: transfers.

    Why isn't this other financing sources?? when would we use other financing sources? I thought we use this when there is a permanent transfer between funds. since this isn't being paid back, isn't this perm?

    Done with FAR for now, my exam was average could go either way. The MQ's were okay I was sure about some questions and almost sure on others and guessed on afew. The MQ's did not get any harder or any easier as I went along they were the same all through.

    The sims… this is where things started going very wrong for me. The first 4 were relatively easy, the 5th was tricky and the last 2 were straight from hell. As fate may have it the last 2 were from a topic that I didn't like and just decided not to spend time on towards the end. I am not stressing over it, if I fail I will retake in January and just spend Dec studying my 2 weak areas but honestly am hoping for just a 75.

    My take apart from the 3 Sims, it wasn't bad. I take full responsibility for not trying to study the 2 annoying topics lol

    @Salring… seems like the majority of us had a similar experience. Hopefully we are the group that logs in on December 9th and sees the beautiful 75
