Do you have any tips on how to search for topics in the IRC code? I found that last time I spent way too much time going through it because I was unfamiliar with it. I was more familiar with where to find topics for FAR…

FAR: 71, 77
REG: 74, 75...finally DONE! 😀

I usually enter the keywords of my search into the box that says “contains all of these words,” and then from there I click on a result that looks good and use the “search within” feature to search that particular result for a keyword I am looking for.

Use quotation marks. If the question asks something like, “where would you find literature regarding partnership liabilities?”

I will search like this —

“partnership liabilities”

When you use quotes and a phrase that is from the question along with quotation marks, it really narrows down the results. I did this on a few sections now and the section I am looking for is usually one of the first two listed.

Thank you guys! No time to practice SIMS this time around either…last time I got comparable on SIMS though so I am praying they don't kill me this time!
