MrsLeonMemberOk yall, I've got a question and I'm hoping someone here has the answer! So I'm using Becker to study but I also got Gleim for more review of multiple choice questions for AUDIT. So there are two topics that I am having problems answering in Gleim that I CAN NOT FIND in my Becker book. I know they are there, but I can't find them. One is EDI (electronic data interchange) and the other is Specific vs. General transactions (in regards to transaction authorization). And again, this is for AUDIT. If anyone can help me determine where in the Becker book these 2 topics are I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot!
FAR- 10/02/10- 75
AUD- 11/24/10- 74, 8/31/11- 68, 10/16/11- 77!!!!!
REG- 2/08/11- 65, 8/6/11- 61, 11/30/11- 76!!!
BEC- 7/01/11- 61, 11/06/11- 75!!!!!I AM OFFICIALLY A CPA!!!!

AnonymousInactive@ gottagetmycpa, the best advice I can offer is give yourself enough time for the simulations if you can, and maximize the research authorization function. For the simulation I gave myself 1hr 15 minutes and yes i did well on the simulation but weaker on the MC (reason for the 74). If you can do that you'll definitely pass. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

redhairisbetterMember@gottagetmycpa
Sorry to freak you out. Really, I just think I am really bad at REG. A couple tips of what NOT to do;
1. Don't disregard law. I think I am terrible at taxes but the last two exams I took, I focused on studying mostly taxes and ended up scoring low in law. Law questions can be tricky.
2. Don't skip studying anything even if the cram DVD or book says not to worry about it. I had one test that covered two topics that were specifically excluded by my study material on the grounds that “they were too complicated to test”.
3. Don't let yourself feel overwhelmed. Every time you study is like a drop of water on a rock. It may not look like its doing much, but over time, the water will create a hole in the rock.
If I can pass, anyone can so NEVER GIVE UP! I have to tell myself that everyday. But honestly, not many people fail a section 4 times. I am on the other side of that now and its no fun but not the end of the world.
Study material. I work full time as an auditor, so finding time to study is difficult. The following details my study material experience:
AUD- passed by completing 100% of the Gleim Online Program
FAR-passed by completing 100% of the Gleim Online Program
BEC- failed on Gleim, passed with the Yaeger Cram DVD- wonderful DVD
REG- failed using Gleim Online, Practice Questions, CDs, about everything they have, I tried. I also used the Yaeger Cram DVD. Great DVD, but must be supplemented with a detailed study.
I love Gleim but I need a push on REG. I am considering using Becker Final Review. Have you used that?
Hope that helps. You will pass. You already passed FAR. HUGE accomplishment! Pat yourself on the back for that one!

MrsLeonMember@CommonPrankAgain- Thanks! I was kind of thinking that too. I think Gleim just made a mistake by putting the EDI question in the AUD section. I appreciate your response!

gottagetmycpaMemberthis is my first time taking the test so I have only used becker. I am supp. with wiley and jeff notes. thanks for the compliment but I don't feel that accomplish with FAR. I mean when I say I STUDIED i mean I STUDIED and still was only able to squeak in a pass. Now I am not upset that I passed but I am just concerned that if I studied that hard and barely pass then what the hell is going to happen to me with REG. Nothing that I can do about it now! Test is on Saturday and I am dreading it! hopefully i just get a test that I can pass!!!

kandisjoyParticipant@gottagetmycpa – I thought the same thing. I felt AMAZING going into AUD, and amazing coming out. I thought I'd gotten a 90+ score. But I only passed with a 78. It scared the hell out of me. I kept thinking “If I can know that much going into a test and only score a 78, how am I supposed to pass REG?” But lo and behold, I passed REG with an 85 soon after. I also felt terrible coming out of REG.. I was 99% sure that I had failed. So have hope, you really never know with this exam.. untill scores are released, of course. 🙂
