@CPAWannaBe: Thank you! I hope your test went well this week! I actually have two kiddos…….the 8-year old asked me last night……”Mom, do you remember when you used to do fun things with us?” What a stab in the heart!! I keep telling him only another week and half. The 3-year old is the one who gets her notebook and highlighter out and says she has to study! We are praying for God's best! So ready for this to be behind me!

I see you are starting to study for audit. I gave myself 5 weeks to study on that one. I don't do much in the way of audits, but do several comps and reviews and felt like Becker prepared me well for it. Are you taking BEC in the Oct/Nov window? Best wishes to you in all the parts!

I have 3.5 days left till Monday.

I'm redoing MCQs for Govt and NFP (which I only did once before) and the Supplemental for Govt and NFP (which I haven't done yet).

Then tomorrow Simulated Exam #1, Saturday Final Review, and Sunday Simulated Exam #2.

Does that sound like something orthodox?

FAR - 7/26/10 - 95
AUD - 8/10/10 - 88
BEC - 8/31/10 - 88
REG - 10/15/10 - 95

@ItalianCPA: Sounds like a plan to me! Hope it goes well for you!

I have exam on July 31. Trying to figure out the best way to complete my revision. I have done Becker, listened to lectures and did MCQ's one time and reviewed the simulations. Should I start redoing the MCQ's, read the book cover to cover, do the practice tests or do the simulated exam? All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Can anyone help me how to learn “Bonds”? I am having problem understanding all bonds.

– convertible bonds

– bonds with options

– bonds with warrants

It just does not make sense to me at all. I spent all night last night on this one topic and is still very confused. Is there any way or approach to better understand bonds and related questions? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[lakhania]

@desperate to pass are you using Becker? They have a pretty good lecture on bonds. The best way to learn it is to listen to the lecture, read the book and then try to make your own notes. hope this helps. Good luck.

is somebody (who scored a lot on FAR or generally scores very high) willing to give me their e-mail address so that I can ask them a few confidential qs? i am so desperate about FAR now, i feel like i will never pass it. it feels like these people (aicpa) are making fun of me. pls help…………………….

hey chayfay – I felt pretty good after taking BEC on monday!! I am really hoping i passed since it's my 3rd time taking it, but only time will tell.

I did use Becker for AUD and REG and it worked fine…but I definitely struggled with BEC material and that's why I ordered Yaeger because I needed something different to boost my score. I went from a 66 to a 71 using Yaeger CRAM…but I still didn't have the concepts down 100%. I feel that Yaeger really explains the concepts so I ordered it for FAR, too!

Good luck with the rest of your FAR studies! 🙂

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

[MPoni123]

After I received the 71 after using Yaeger CRAM (which was a 5 point increase from the last time), I ordered the homestudy. BEC has been the nightmare for me so far…and hopefully I can put it behind me!!

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

speaking of not understanding things. how in the world do you “get” deferred tax assets and liabilities. i am having a world of trouble and i usually can understand things pretty quick. it seems that i can get the majority of the questions correct but i don't understand how i am doing it.

AUD 81, REG 65 78, BEC 75, FAR 71 85(8/3/2010)

as far as understanding the convertable bonds…if you spent an entire night on it and are still confused, I would recomend to move on. There is so much material on FAR that it will not kill you to not be an expert on something so small as convertable bonds. I agree…they are confusing. I just did my best w/ them. Just my opinion on how to best tackle this thing.

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

[whonis2002]

Have a question, am trying to schedule a date where I can sit my FAR exam using the prometric website. Am at a section on their website where it says I have to provide an “Exam Section ID “. Does anybody know where I can get that information? Am in California…maybe the folks who have used this service can point me in the right direction.

On the BTS there is a grid with Exam Section & Section ID & your launch code for the exam. Do you have the NTS?
