a while back someone posted that these types of questions would be considered tough – there are two concepts that you have to get right – just pulled out my MCQ and used this as an example

A development stage enterprise should use GAAP for

Rev Recognition Deferral of Taxes

Yes Yes

Yes No

No Yes

No No

Short question but easy to get wrong if you don't know the topic

I passed AUD and did not notice the testlets getting harder. Actually smiled during the second testlet -as the thought went through my head that between Becker review and Gleim MCQ that all the test questions seemed like a well traveled road

Financeguy I definately will take you advise.

whitesoxfancpa what you said does make sense.

Hey – how is going today? Ordered the Yeager homestudy for BEC – Jeff had a discount posted and I ordered it last night. Was still on the fence but I really just want to nail it and pur it behind me.

whonis2002

Don't be so tough on your self. You studied hard – bet your results are better than you think! What is your next exam?

[MPoni123]

Hi cpa journey!! 🙂 My day is going well, thank you. Back to work and have some things to do, but overall a stress-free day! How is your day going? What state are you from? I probably asked you that 1,000 times but I don't remember lol. Sorry. Do you work in public accounting? You will NOT regret ordering BEC with Yaeger! I mean for me…with 2 failed attempts already, something had to change! If you are not having problems with Economics per your score report, I would honestly skip the lecture and just do the minimum required MCQs. I would also recommend watching the business structure with Phil Yaeger even if you are not weak in that area because I actually learned more about it than with Becker. (I think Yaeger expands on it more).

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

[MPoni123]

On a side note…something that I just thought about – I never use the spell check function for my WC portions! lol I always just reread them, but I don't even think of using it! haha. I mean I passed AUD and REG using the same technique (just rereading) so I guess it isn't a big deal…oh well!

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

Hi guys couldn't keep away for 20 days until the score release. MPoni, I guess you can do that if you are a good speller.

Going into the exam I felt so burnt out after doing a cumulative (for all exams) of about 10,000 MCQs and sim questions 3 to 4 times I didn't realize I hit the start button and sat there for like 10 seconds schocked that the exam started.

How many MCQs did you guys tackle before sitting for each exam.

DONE!

[FARSUXCPA]

oops shocked lol

DONE!

[suzzette1]

FARSUXCPA I tackled an average of 3,000MCQ's each for Regulation, Auditing and BEC and I passed all 3 sections of the exam. I only took one section per window and it works. I am now currently studying for FAR and I am following the same strategy. I plan to do as much as 3,500 MCQ's. The more MCQ's you work the more chances you pass the exam!

BEC 2/8/10 - 75 (studied hard & prayed less)
REG 5/15/10 - 88 (studied less but prayed hard)
AUDITING 8/9/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard)
FAR 11/30/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard) Thanks GOD! I'm DONE

[FARSUXCPA]

That is very true Suzette. That is certainly more than my average of 2500 per section though I did do them 3 to 4 times each. What materials did you use. I passed the same sections you did and I sat for FAR on 8/31/10. I guess I just wanted to open up a discussion on and take a poll on the effort it takes to pass the 4 sections.

DONE!

[suzzette1]

FARSUXCPA

I mainly used Wiley and Yaeger and I supplemented it with questions from Becker, Gleim and CPAReviewforfree in every section that I took. Some might say ” overkill ” but I graduated from college 26 years ago and I am starting from scratch everytime I review for each section. English is also my second language so I have difficulty in WC, however I compensated it with MCQ's which really helped me a lot to pass.

BEC 2/8/10 - 75 (studied hard & prayed less)
REG 5/15/10 - 88 (studied less but prayed hard)
AUDITING 8/9/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard)
FAR 11/30/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard) Thanks GOD! I'm DONE

Spent the day catching up on stuff! I am so far behind – have a ton of paperwork to organize and file Yuck! I swear it grows and multiples while you are not looiking. I always use spell check – I am a sloopy speller and typer Can't imagine what kind of laughter there would be if humans actually grade those WC!

Looking forward to the Yeager material. I was ok in everything but cost – which is odd – I have a strong cost background. Oh well. Just need a few precious point to get over the hump.

So glad is behind us for now.

Have a lunch date for tomorrow. How nice is that – no guilt over having fun! From Texas – the Lone Star State

That sounds like a good plan. Will IFRS apply to AUD next year? I plan on my r-etake of BEC in Oct and then REG in Nov. Good luck.

[MPoni123]

cpa journey – IFRS will apply to AUD and FAR starting january 2011

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

[Idrathergolf]

Hey everyone!

Have you all been skimming your notes and working some questions in the past week to keep the FAR material fresh?

HA!

One thing that has been irking me the past week are friends and family who ask how it feels to be done. I haven't passed yet and I won't let down my guard until I see a passing score in the blue box!

I hope everyone enjoyed the extended weekend! Fall is here and football is starting!

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