FAR is insanely hard?

I have taken REG & AUD so far, and though I struggled in those as well, I always felt like I could do it if I spend time studying. I don’t get that same feeling for FAR. I’m currently doing F4 supplemental questions and I’m so lost. I do well on theory as well as T-accts/J/Es, BUT I’m so confused on questions involving interest revenue/notes with discount/etc…

In my opinion, the questions in the passmaster and the material in the book is so different. With REG & AUD, I was able to find an answer or at least how to do a problem in the book. I can’t do that with FAR.

I’m on verge of crying, b/c I feel so dumb and useless.

It is hard! You're not dumb and useless. Just don't give up and keep going. Are you on your first review of the material? Also, I dunno about other people, but I actually like to read the book a couple of times.

I'm just going over it for the first time. I'm hoping to leave about 3-3.5 weeks for actual review!

I read the book, watch the lecture, and do MCQs from that section. Then when I do the supplement questions, I'll scan over whole chapter before attempting them. I'm having really hard with interest revenue question….UGH:(

Tonight, I'm hoping to finish the F4 supplement questions, do F4 Sims & redo F1. (I'm planning to re-read F1-F4 and do all the MCQs again before moving to F5).

Good Luck to you, too!! How far are you? and How are you feeling about it so far?

I think you'll find that you'll pick up things much better on your 2nd review. =) I'm always like that so I don't get too worried if I don't get something. I'm on chapter 4 of my 2nd review. But ya, I think I'm getting the lowest scores on the homework so far..even on my 2nd review!! >< Ugh. lol. But really, a big part of it is reading the questions very very carefully. I study after work and sometimes I just want to go through the questions quickly because I'm tired, but that's a mistake. Haha. When is your test? Mine is on the 29th, and I think I'll be ready by then. Maybe even a few days earlier. If that's the case I'll reschedule for an earlier date! It's a struggle to retain all the info.

That's awesome, you're almost done:!)

I'm hoping to test end of May! Hopefully, I'll be ready by then! I'm hoping to be done with Becker 1st time by May 6th and review or 3ish weeks by doing Becker again, Becker final review, and Wiley test bank!

You think that's enough?

I agree with reading questions very very carefully, it's so tricky….FAR really makes other sections look REG & AUD straight forward (in my opinion).

CPA628 FAR is very hard but you can do it.

Look at my scores, I basically lost 3 parts because I could not pass FAR.

Finally I passed by doing a lot of MCQ, A LOT.
