Just failed FAR with a 74. So Sick Of This.

I'm so sorry So Sick of This, I can relate, I just failed AUD, which is also my last exam, and I was pretty close as well. Just cram cram cram and knock it out in January… you were so close and you can definitely do it!!

I should start my own website, Another74.com

It sucks a big banana, let me tell ya.

I'd rather fail by 5 points than 1. You deserve a pity party right now.

Just try to review one more time and knock it out in January. You are soooooooooooo close!

There are those of us that would love to have gotten as far as you have.

I can't begin to imagine. I would have lost it by now… What are you studying with? I used Becker for FAR and 8 days before I sat, I freaked out because I was totally unprepared and I was bombing MCQ and practice exams. I called Yaeger CPA Review, on a Sunday expecting a customer service center, but spoke to Phil Yaeger directly. He sent me to Barnes and Noble to get the Wiley book and overnighted me a FAR CRAM CD. I went through it over the next week and the WIley homework questions and ended up making a 79. I am 100% sure that the Yaeger CRAM gave me the little edge I needed. You might consider it, if you don't already have it. I think it was amazing. Best of luck, I know you'll get through it, since you've hung in this far!

Please don't try to make me feel better with unsubtle advertisements. Thank you.

That wasn't an advertisement… it was my actual life experience. So sorry.

Curse AUD – Why was the Yaeger CRAM so effective? I am taking FAR at the end of January. I use Becker but thought about purchasing the Yaeger CRAM as well. Just curious as to what you like about it (more specifically). Thank you.

Wow so sick of this, I mean I know from experience how bad it sucks to get a 74 on FAR (I got a 73 and then a 74) but is that any reason to be rude? I've heard from LOTS of people that Yaegar put them over that hump. I highly doubt they have hundreds of people on these forums making up fake stories.

FAR- 73, 74, 76
BEC- 2/22/11
REG- TBD
AUD- TBD

So sick, I also just received a brand spanking new 74. Not much to say about this except we're so dang close….I'll have to wait until April/May for the rematch since I already scheduled other exams. But make no mistake…we're taking this b*tch down!

south0085,

I'm not exactly sure what it was…. there is one instructor (I believe her name is Cindy) who is simply amazing. She breaks things down to literally the most elementary level it seems like. She works through some homework questions and goes over why why answers are wrong, as well as why the right answers are right. All I know is that I was bombing practice exams and then took one the morning before my exam (after going through the CRAM) that I did OK on, then wound up passing the real test.

For BEC, I failed with a 73, then got the CRAM for that one too and went back in and passed it. At the time I was watching the lectures, I thought the BEC CRAM was less effective than the FAR CRAM, but during the test, I remembered things specifically mentioned in the videos and things that I read in Wiley's homework question explanations, so I guess it was more effective than I thought.

I can't speak for the Homestudy, since I used Becker, or Becker's Final Review since I used Yaeger's CRAM, but I think the homework questions/explanations in Wiley's books are really good.

I just failed AUD (boo) and I am thinking of buying that Wiley Test Bank from this site… although I don't know anything about it, I figure if Jeff is promoting it, it would probably do me some good. I heard that Yaeger for AUD isn't that great, which is why I didn't get it the first time, but I have no idea and am now considering it so I can get AUD our of my life.

After getting my head ripped off, I'm almost scared to share my experience or what I think.

Curse AUD,

I thought what So Sick of This wrote was mean. You are just trying to help.

Sometimes I get carried away on this forum because I see someone struggling with something that gave me a fit before, and I like to share what worked for me. What worked for me may not work for someone else.

I used Becker for AUD. I haven't tried Yaeger so I can't speak for it for AUD. Yaeger was awesome for FAR and I'm going to use it for BEC.

Do you feel like you got the most out of AUD from Becker? Did you do all hw, supplemental and practice exams? With the changes in 2011, you are going to need new material so I'd either get the Becker upgrade or new Wiley material. You are so close.

Curse AUD – Thanks so much for replying. I purchased the FAR Yaeger CRAM yesterday (2010 version). I figured I can get the IFRS stuff from my Becker update. I haven't used the CRAM yet. I will probably wait until I get through the Becker material first. I'm glad there is a teacher on there that can break things down, because I really need that. I guess I'm a slow learner. Anyways, thanks so much for the information. And don't worry about what anyone says (getting your head ripped off). We are all striving to achieve the same goal, and some people just can't handle the pressure. You're doing a great job and you almost have this whipped. Stay strong.

How on Earth do you guys handle public accounting if you think “Please don't try to make me feel better with unsubtle advertisements. Thank you.” constitutes getting your “head ripped off”?

Anyway, Merry Christmas.

I scored b2b 74s on REG and lost my FAR credit because of it. I know how it feels.

[south0085]

So Sick of This……your user-name is “So Sick of This”……I wonder how you handle it.
