So I hate to be a moocher, but does anyone happen to have some sort of comprehensive FAR study guide/cheat sheet that they’d be willing to share with me or that I could find somewhere online? FAR is creeping up on me and I’m attempting to review my study guide, but at this point it’s become a 100-page crammed, sloppy outline and I’m getting lost in it and it’s taking forever to decipher my way through it. I’d consider re-writing it but I think it’d be a really inefficient use of my time. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I'd recommend the NINJA notes.

@CPAIN2K17 I already have NINJA audio, do you still think Notes are a good supplement? I've heard people say that notes and audio are basically the same, just visual vs audio form

I would focus on MCQ. Nothing beats solving thousands of problems with no aid.

If you have the audio/mcq, I'll toss in the notes – just email support@another71.com

@accountingbeans the notes were much more helpful for me than the audio, but I am sure it is probably the same info just in a visual format ( I only used audio for BEC so I'm not sure how it is for FAR).

Thanks, Jeff (for OP)!

You and your staff are very generous. I've had mixed results with other services, some that rhyme with Wecker.

I'm all finished, but wanted to thank you. BISK/Plus and MCQ were all I needed to pass. This forum is also excellent.

As far as the question itself, I would concentrate on your approach to questions instead of needing a cheat sheet. Eg Think of journal entries and which accounts need to be debited versus credited. For Govt, let the name of the fund guide you to what goes on (eg Agency suggests fiduciary or for someone else; it only has cash & transfers in and out, no fund balance). For NFP remember the different types or stages of revenue recognition; keep in mind that unlike FOR profit, the emphasis on nonprofit financials is to show how money is being used to fulfill the mission versus entity profit. Tho this doesn't cover everything, knowing these COLD should help you out if you get stuck on exam day.

Good luck everyone.
