The test was nothing surprising. I have seen everything in my review materials. Couple questions were a little surprising, but overall I think it was ok. We will see how it went when I get my grade :)

Kevin,

do your MCQ over and over and over again until you hurl tomorrow. Don't do SIMS on practicing.  The MCQ will carry you through the SIMS.

try to stay calm about it.  I can say i flipped out the day before and had to call Yaeger hotline and Phil calmed me down.

It is a tough test, but you do KNOW this information enough to get you through.

when you get to the SIMS go right to the written communication first.

save the research for VERY last, its worth only 1 point.

good luck.





Joecjr,
        congrats on passing FAR! I am using the 2009 Yaeger homestudy and have just started studying. My exam is scheduled for August..could you please give me advice on whether i need to do only the MCQ's assigned by Yaeger from the Wiley book, or more..some people on this forum have mentioned that they also did some gleim questions/ becker questions...i also have becker 2009, but i'm not sure if i have the time to master all..

if i just follow the yaeger homestudy regimen and do all the assigned questions, make good notes, along with the cram video, will i be in good shape?

please share your experience! Thank you!

You will do fine if you follow their homestudy.

I don't recommend buying the cram.  It is super fast and the information in it is already in the homestudy and I turned it off after 2 hours.

Do all the problems they say to do and you will be fine.  I also used the Wiley 14.0 cd which came with the package, to supplement the text book questions.  I practiced only a few sims where I needed a better understanding, such as in stockholders equity and diluted EPS, but several SIMs from 2009 Wiley text are incorrect and corrections are listed on the Wiley site.

I think the most important thing is when you have had enough for the day, recognize you need a break and let it sit for an hour or so, and things will start to come together better.

Also, make notecards and review them every day whether you want to or not.  That is what will make the concepts stick!!

It is a crazy amount of information for FAR, but do what Yaeger says and you are gonna get a 75!

Pay very close attention to Cindy, everything she says is very important. Phil and Gary are important also, just that Cindy flattens very tough topics and is brilliant!

good luck on it.
