My date with FAR is April 16th and so far I’ve watched/taken notes on all but one of the Becker lectures.The next month and a half between this and work is going to be brutal.

Hey Keely, for some reason I’m not able to reply to your message, so I am editing my post for you. I felt Becker did a good job preparing me for BEC. I’d make an effort to go more in-depth with the COSO/ERM material than your prof or the lecture video does Know the meanings. Becker is way to mnemonic heavy on that part. Becker does a really good job on the Econ/Operational/Finance/Tech parts

Reg 77 (Aug 11)
Aud 80 (Nov 11)
BEC 79 (Jan 12)
FAR 80 (April 12)

Good luck! So you used Becker, how did you feel it prepared you for BEC? BEC is my first exam and I bought Becker as well. This is only day 2 of studying, but I already feel kind of iffy about it. People swear by it, but it just seems so brief on the descriptions of things. I'm trying not to be discouraged. Thoughts?

BEC: (4/2012) 88
AUD: (5/2012) 91
REG: (8/2012) 82
FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂

If I had Doc Brown's DeLorean, I'd go back and tell myself at age 18 to put every last penny of my savings into Microsoft stock, and hold on to it until March 2000.

I hope there's a lot of thunderstorms or recyclable garbage for me to use it more than once. Although I wouldn't actual be using it for the test date.

Took REG, last part, on the 26th and now waiting on results (only 6 more days until the supposed release on the 7th). Still, I would jump forward 6 days just to get over the wait. Combination of hope, not knowing, anxiety is getting to me.

Passed AUD, BEC & FAR. Lost credit for AUD & BEC once. Finally finished with REG as dessert. 15 times was the charm.

AUD: 86
FAR: 81
BEC: 80
REG: 76

Actually the release date is the 8th.

I would just go back and get winning lottery numbers. No more CPA Exam 😀

What do you mean!?!?!?! IS EAR AIM, CRIME, PHRASED C, how wonderful… just kidding, it didn't work for me either… I've heard time and time again that the best way to learn is to actually understand and apply logic to your understanding; not memorize. I am not sure why Becker takes a memorization approach to Corporate Governance.
