    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!

    apologies for the late post. as promised here's my experience. Not sugar coated experience. the day i took FAR was not even pleasant. I woke up only to find out I have neck and back pain. without meds I took the exam. first testlet was medium, all conceptual took me 1 hour to finish. second testlet was very hard, took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to finish because of some long problem within, leases, bonds computation and complex ppe. some item i do not know the answer so I guessed plus I'm stressed out cause I was running out of time. Third testlet were easy, back to conceptual and I answered within 45 minutes. Although it was easy, I guessed plenty of them. So medium, hard, easy.

    7 simulations – with 1 hour left, I was so stressed. 2 sims I did not have any idea at all. I got 1 research question of which I know 100% I did not get it unlike the rest of the scholars here. I struggled each item. I studied every entry in Becker and on the actual exam I had a hard time to remember what to debit and what to credit. There was 1 simulation to enter only the amount and I do not have any idea on that topic. So I guessed and put 0.

    I cried so hard after FAR. I know I bombed the sim and I failed.

    @ Ninja, take it easy you don't know the results yet, you may be surprised and pass the exam. If you don't pass we will still be here and will help through the experience, someday FAR will be behind us all. Take a break rest from study and take back FAR after the holidays if you don't make it, otherwise it gets harder trying to understand the concepts after a while.

    I am taking my exam on Wednesday and I get less and less confident as we draw close. I have given up on EPS, at this point it's just not worth trying to understand it, if am tested on it I guess I will be out of luck.

    Hello my fellow Ninjas. Took my first part of the CPA exam FAR, and failed. The worst part is I thought I passed. 🙁 feeling so disappointed. Any advice?

    @Gabe thanks. Such a blow. I used Becker to prepare but my friend just gave me her Whiley and said that those questions were more comparable to the exam questions. I'm going to start back up next week and review each chapter and just do as many questions as I can stomach. Once I feel comfortable I'll schedule my exam. I'm glad I'm getting this beast out of the way first but oh my gosh its a lot. I appreciate the support. Cocktails tonight for SURE

    @Determined

    Debt service interest payments can be in either a debt service fund or the general fund. It varies. I'm thinking there is something in the wording of the questions that is supposed to tip you off on where things should be recorded. Else, its just a terrible question. lol.
