Ugh that SUCKS!!! 🙁 I dunno how it works for MA though…I know that other people were receiving “contact coordinator” with their message…

I will be so pissed if my FAR score isn’t up tonight lol today would be a waste of a work day!!!

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

[MPoni123]

It's funny though because he will never fully understand what I am going through…only people who are actually taking the exams – like you guys. This site and everybody on it has made it so much more tolerable and I don't feel so alone. Because without a doubt..the CPA exam is an extremely lonely road…even if you have tons of support from family and friends..they are outsiders looking in.

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

That is true. I have found the exam to be an all-consuming process. Even if I am not studying, I am thinking about studying. Or if I decide to do something fun, most of the time I am thinking about how I should be studying.

One thing I have found myself pondering how this compares to the bar exam, or actuarial exams. From what I've been told, the actuarial exams are BRUTAL.

Also, I have the utmost respect for the people who do this while working full time with a spouse and children. I don't know if I could do it.

REG: 5/26 - 90hrs (Pass) AUD: 7/1 - 86hrs (Pass)
BEC: 7/22 - 72hrs (Pass) FAR: 8/31 - 56hrs (Wait)

Yeah I hear you…I wouldn't WANT to do the exam with a husband and children. I am glad I am getting this outta the way now while I am still young (I am 25). Having a boyfriend and doing this is hard enough! I have heard that the CPA exam is harder than the bar exam..but not sure how true that is. I can't wait to be done because studying and the exam is all I think about…even when I am not studying! It is really depressing lol

I just honestly cannot wait until September when we know scores are about to be released and imagine if we all passed?! That would be so awesome. These 3 – 4 weeks can't come fast enough! Ya and I also don't like how I live by testing windows haha. I hate rushing time! With the exam though…that is the way it is!

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

Ok, I am calling it a night. (2:15 a.m. here!). I guess Trevor already went to bed? lol

See you guys here tomorrow! 🙂

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

Yes the material bwtween f8 & the first part of F9 is pretty much the same.

Sorry I was working on the Final Review only finished the first topic. But I did ok on the MCQ. Wish I had another 10 days to study.

Looks like we are all running out of hours – normal for any exam.

whonis2002

same here and lots of F8 & F9 MCQ!

[whonis2002]

cpa journey F8 has this weird portion that has a balance sheet with these gazillion weird questions I touched a few of those and had to move on to F9… I really don't think those would appear as MCQ's to long may in a sim

[Anonymous]

it is possible to get a sim over govt and NFP but unlikely from what I heard. Becker just recently changed their comment abput govt and NFP – they are now possible sims

I hope I don't get one – we will see

[Anonymous]

with the amount of time Becker spends going over the simple JEs I think it would be more likely to be asked to record the initial and maybe closing entries.

We will see

[Anonymous]

its 2 am and i am beat – good luck studying

[whonis2002]

cpa journey good night its 12.09 PT in California I will push for another 2 hours

[financeguy]

whonis- what ratio's are you talking about? There are not really a whole lot of ratio's for FAR…

AUD - 81, BEC - 74, 80, FAR - 82, REG - 81
Done!

[whonis2002]

financeguy, liquidity Ratio's ,Activity Ratio's, Profitability Ratios, Long term debt paying ability ratio's I have a whole 4 pages of formulas I have to memorize in the becker study material. Its like about 20 of them dude I wouldn't call that a few.

[financeguy]

20 for FAR? Wow, I had the current ratio, liquid ratio, AR turnover and that is about it. I knew the stock one…I forget what it is called…earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.

I already had memorized a ton from BEC and they really just stuck w/ me. However I didn't write down a single thing on my scratch paper as far as memorized formulas go. If you can memorize them easily then it wouldn't hurt, however I would hold too much weight in memorizing 20 ratios for this exam.

AUD - 81, BEC - 74, 80, FAR - 82, REG - 81
Done!
