I took the exam at the end of this test window/wave 2 - end of August - and it seems, to me, like about a quarter to a third of the MCQ's were not covered thoroughly in my study materials. Some of the topics (i.e. - asset impairment) were mentioned briefly in Becker 2009, but not thoroughly, and they were tested heavily in the exam. I also encountered quite a few questions that I've never seen b4 in my study materials. So, I had to rely on what I learned from school to make educated guesses on these questions. Is this normal or was I just not very lucky?
I don't know, but I passed all three of the other sections using Becker 2009 on my first try. But, I'm worried about this section. I just hope that not too many people took FARE this testing window, so my chances of passing are increased.

I'm using Becker 2009 and while I didn't pass FAR on my first attempt I'm confident that my inability to master the concepts is to blame for my score of 70 and not the material. There are 2010 updates available to 2009 Becker online and they're aren't that many of them.
Asset impairment is certainly covered in Becker 2009. There are more then two pages covering the methods of measuring asset impairment and there are several examples in the book not to mention the passmaster questions.
HTFU and study, stop blaming the review material. Your chance of passing will be increase the more you study. If you feel that Becker is lacking in an area then pick up some additional review material if you can handle studying from two different souces.
