    I have never had this much anxiety about a test before! I am taking a study break and I just had to vent! I guess I just have to tell myself what I tell myself on all the others – “I hope they test me on what I know!” And I really mean that! I have so many weaknesses and I am trying to work through them. At this point, I just feel like no matter what I do, I can’t master some of the material.

    Hoping for a miracle!

    REG - 80 (Becker only)
    BEC - 76 (Becker only)
    AUD - 71, 76 (Becker only)
    FAR - 65, 74, 81! (Becker, Wiley Test Bank, Ninja notes & Audio)

    I'm sure you passed! When I took BEC I had a question in the first testlet that was almost identical to one in the third. It was

    a calculation with different variables- I'm certain the examiners wanted to know if I knew the formula or if I was guessing.

    Last time I sat for FAR this past November I had some bizarre questions that I hadn't a clue about…certainly wasn't in Becker so I think those questions are pretest.

    My test is tomorrow so I've got to fininsh my review….we'll be waiting for our scores together!

    Have a great day everyone!

    OMG I'll be taking the test in April once again….My experience with the multiple choice questions was much different then Mrs300

    I had a good mix of theory and calculations, and if IFRS doesn't count (which I know it does) I would say I did really well. I didn't get one of the IFRS correct, they were all calculations of which I didn't have a clue- I was prepared for component depreciation and all the other concepts that Becker teaches in relation to IFRS but what the examiners asked was unf***ing real!!!! I must say I did catch a number of their sneaky little tricks…the bastards! I know I got two and 1/2 of the sims 100% correct but the other 4 and 1/2 were a complete and utter disaster! The research tab was a piece of cake it took me less than 2 minutes which I can attribute to using my free access to the codification so I knew it inside out! I'm taking the weekend off from studying but I'll start again on Monday and sit in the beginning of April!

    B: 78

    A: 79

    R: 81

    F: 1/26/12–Failed miserably!!!!

    I actually do want to puke!
