Guys, https://beckerkb.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/376

click on that, scroll down to where it says Passmasters updates and look at the 2009 and 2010, why isn't there any passmaster updates for 2009?  If you have the 2009 version you have to use the 2010 version it appears.  I am just mentioning this because if you use the OLD 2009 passmasters mcq's they are probably wrong answers, especially for A5 which has a ton of changes in it from 2009.  Be careful not to study incorrect info

Thanks but that only works on the 2010 version.  I think they don't want to provide an update for 2009 so they can force people to get the updated software.

I would say that only for the sections that have been updated/replaced in their entirety.

Thanks Reflection, A5 has some major changes so I will be careful of those.  I'm doing as much mcq's as possible.  Plan on getting up saturday and sunday and doing nonstop problems from 9am to 11pm, for the last couple of weeks, knock out some final exam#1 and 2 the last week.  Eventually run through 3000+ mcq's.  Looking like im on the track of 150hrs of study time before exam date.  Who knows, all I know is this exam is either you're going to crush this exam or you will fail with flying colors.  You either know it or you dont'

Future - why are the notes blank when I clink the link? Do I need to register or something?

On a side note, regarding the question on compilation and an engagement letter recommended (understanding the client), its not required, but highly recommended. But the exemption is that is the engagement is to compile financial statemetns not expected to be used by a third party and if the compilation report is not issued, then a written engagement letter IS required.
