    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!

    @CPAHOPEFUL11 and @golfball7773 cool! Alright let's set the date of ‘sharing' as September 17th? I am a little behind but will catch up on everything this weekend.

    I will open a topic on the forum on the 17th, and we can move forward on the logistics (email, upload to dropbox etc.)

    @CPAHOPEFUL11

    Whenever I score below 70% on a section, I rewrite my notes for an hour and give it a second shot. It usually does wonders.

    @2014, Yes absolutely. That's why I will open a topic so it will be visible to everyone.

    So bond premiums for the investor are classified as bond investment, does the same apply for discounts?

    @CPAHOPEFUL11 on your governmental question:

    As the question doesn't say otherwise, I read this case as a governmental based issue. Governmental funds/financials record a revenue when it is available and measurable. Any amount can be available and measurable when it is a) collected/received, b) when the transaction occurs (so you know what to measure). As there's no emphasis on cash being received, the next best option is A.

    @CPAHopeful Do you find that the questions in Wiley are much more challenging than Roger?

    Need advice guys!

    I plan on taking the exam in mid October..I read everything about 3 times and went through the mcqs twice and I am ranging in the 70s. Do you suggest just doing mcq/sim til test day or should I try rereading everything again?

    I don't feel like I know the material at all, I am surprised I scored in the 70s, I was expecting it to be in the 50s at most

    I am using becker

    @CPAHopeful…well, I can do a section in Roger and nail the Homework stuff, and then go to the testbank and it's like nothing I've seen lol. I don't know if the wording is trickier or what!

    Hey guys. I am on section 2 of FAR in Becker. Wondering what you guys thought the harder/easier sections were?

    Well, most of Roger's questions are off the Wiley HW book and test bank. It is normal to struggle the first time around. As you go over the material again, you will do much better.
