I just passed my first section (BEC). I am studying for FAR and I have no idea how to approach these simulations? I’m doing Becker self-study and it really doesn’t give you any advice on them. How have you guys and girls approached these things? Any suggestions would be appreciated 🙂

BEC: 93 4/18/13
FAR: 89 7/3/13
REG: 90 8/30/13
AUD: 95 11/29/13

DONE!

What helped me most was reading the problem backwards to forwards and focusing on pieces rather than taking in the whole problem at once. By backwards to forwards I mean look at the last couple of sentences and determine what they're looking for. Then when making entries (for JE problems) focus on one entry at a time rather than trying to sort out all of the information at once. That seemed to help me. Also, the COD can help a little too depending on your SIM so I'd say be familiar with navigating that (plus you have the research SIM anyway). I had an Asset Retirement Obligation problem which had a comprehensive example with numbers in the COD, basically free points.

FAR - 85
BEC - 79
REG - 84
AUD - 8/31/13

Study everything and leave no stones unturned. I studied JE before my past FAR exam but did not get much JE problems this time around (was a good thing but still no 75).

I would know the journal entries backwards and forwards and study anything you are weak on. If you're weak on it now, be an expert on it when you go in.

Just did Sims for F2. Agree on the journal entries.

BEC: 93 4/18/13

I click through all of them to get an idea of what's there, then I start with the one I think will be “easiest” for me. Then, as I work through them, they've all been percolating in my mind. Seems to calm me down.
