    I am weak on leases/bonds. I have a decent knowledge of the other topics in FAR so I need to focus on these 2 areas starting tonight.

    I have been putting them off because they are difficult. Any incentive if I study them tonight instead of another section in FAR? I am thinking that a reward system is the only way I will get it done. Ideas???

    I think that being a CPA is incentive enough, but that's just me 🙂

    You are probably wondering how getting paypal $1 is incentive? Well aren't you at least alittle bit curious if internet stranger will send you a dollar?

    This is a solid offer, and if you are studying REG this offer is enforceable bc you have to study for it.

    there is consideration!!!!!

    That is hilarious! I remember that from REG.

    I suppose it would be on the honor system. Lol.

    It is an express offer as evidenced by my writings here

    This offer is enforceable!

    all kidding aside isn't half the fun figuring out if I will really send you a dollar? Which honestly I will.

    ^from what I read, the countdown timer is on a script based on your computer's time. IE if I change my time to 7:59 AM 11/4/2014 – then I will have 1 minute to wait

    Edit: OOPS meant for score release forum…..

    FAR: 63, 55, 62
    REG: 65, 77*
    AUD: Fail, 64, 71
    BEC: 72, 74, 81

    @golf good times it definitely screws up the counter, but then just takes you to a blank page

    You need an incentive to study?

    Here you are:

    1) You'll fail your exam if you don't study. Worse still, you'll have to take FAR again.

    2) You'll be pigeon holed into the crap jobs and get meager 2% raises until you either pass, or you're fortunate enough to have a heart attack at your desk.

    3) Your significant other won't respect you if you don't get your CPA. In fact, they could end up leaving you for the stud CPA down the road.

    4) Your mom will keep referring to you as her CPA son and you'll have to correct her every time, or risk getting yourself in trouble with the state board of accountancy.

    5) No respect from your boss. It will be another test wave of having to hear him go on about how much tougher it was when you had to use a pencil.

    6) You'll have to go around the office and explain to everyone that you'll “get it next time”. Everyone that's CPA-less and above you will secretly rejoice and hate on your ambition.

    7) It'll be another three months before you can live life again.

    8) It'll be another 5 lbs and three months before you can work on losing the 20 lbs you've already put on to date.

    9) That post-CPA promotion gets dangled out in front of you for another three months. Only now, when you're eligible, it will be right near your normal annual bump and there is no way to tell between the two. You'll just have to assume you got shafted (because you probably did).

    10) That condescending cube-mate just got his CPA and won't shut up about how horrible life is when studying and how glad he is when its over. He's not going to stop until you get your CPA.

    I can keep going if you'd like.

    The other cube mate (yeah- the musky one) promises to shower regularly if you study.

    They also promised to stop eating fish and ethnic foods at their desk.

    I might as well just do it and get it over with. I'm not doing myself any favors by avoiding the topics. I need to have working knowledge of them if I want to pass.
