FAR is kicking my ass. It’s not that I find the material to be difficult to understand, it’s just that it’s so much to remember. I finish one chapter and a chapter or so later, I barely remember what I learned previously.

I feel as if the only way to remember all this is through mass memorization of material. For example, Roger lists the differences between GAAP and IFRS at the end of each chapter. How is one supposed to remember that without straight memorization?

With that said, I’m not sure if just mass memorization will help and it will take a very long time. Any thoughts?

**FAR is definitely my weakest subject and I don’t have background in accounting other than the required courses.

You're getting too lost in the details. Remember that the FAR exam is an ocean wide but only an inch deep. Stop scuba diving.

Just keep on keeping on. It's a great volume of information.
I strongly recommend you spend Sunday, or half of Sunday working some cumulative quizzes to keep earlier material fresh in your head.
This will help you stay strong into your final 2 weeks of review.

What I am going with Roger is do all the MCQ and TBS Ch. 1, then move on to Ch.2 and do all the MCQ and TBS. Then I do a 30 question quiz split between ch 1 and 2. Then I do all the MCQ and TBS for chapter 3. Then do a quick 30 question quiz on chapters 1-3 and so on… I'll probably go through the entire book this way and repeat 3/4 times. The quick 30 MCQ quizzes are so I don't forget what I previously learned. I am trying to go fast (1 chapter a day) so I'm ready by October/November. Seems a bit much but works for me. I also skip a lot of authoritative research TBS.
