Despite the fact that I did my undergrad in accounting and worked in the field for about one year, I haven’t touched any financial accounting in the last 3 years. Basically I’ve given back everything I learned with only fading memories left.

I’ve been using the same study material (Becker) and strategy (self-study with 2 to 3 times repetition on the book and questions) for the other 3 sections and turned out fine. But somehow I’m just not confident in FAR.

Here is what I think I’m going to do. Pick up Intermidiate Accounting I book and have a qiuck review, then jump into Becker and repeat my old trick. Sounds like a plan to anyone? What about IFRS content? My old Intermidiate Accounting book doesn’t cover much about it and all I have to depends on is Becker’s 2011 version.

Another question to Becker users: Becker claims that its material is designed to serve candidates with no accounting background; how much can I get out of it if I see myself as a non-accounting person?

I used Yaeger CPA review for FAR and would highly recommend it. I have been out of college for close to 20 years and was able to pass with Yaeger. They did a great job of teaching the concepts and the “why”. You are so close to finishing. Good Luck.
