Fed,

I'm in! Let's keep each other working! I passed BEC in Nov. too. When do you think you'll be done with F2?

I'm trying to be done with actually reading the text by Friday, and then start working on some problems Friday/Saturday. How about you?

Let's do this! When do you plan to take FAR?

Greenstar, by any chance did you work full-time while studying or studying while not working?

I was thinking mid-April as well. Do you think we have enough time?
I'm half-way through F2 - should be able to finish by the weekend, plus I have F1 supplementals to do as well.

I am also using Becker 2011 self study; almost through Section 2 for FAR, plan to take the test in early April. I just took REG in the beginning of Feb and compared to REG, this stuff is tricky. I find that the MCQ's are waaaayyyy more difficult and complex than what they teach you in the chapters. It is me, or does anyone else using Becker find the MCQ's difficult?? I am barely scoring in the 70's on my homework!! I gotta say, I am kinda in panic mode for this section.

I thought that REG was going to be the most difficult...... guess I spoke to soon! FAR is going to be a killer!!

Becker is definitely enough to pass (just look at
my scores!) LOL On the homescreen there is a place that kind of takes you
through using the software step by step and goes through the Becker
study process. BTW I literally did not remember anything about
economics, finance, cost accounting, or audit and if you stick with it and
just study the way the program is intended you should pass with no
problem... Becker is pretty awesome and I also recommend the flashcards
because I felt like they helped me immensely (especially on FAR).

I've been debating making my own flashcards versus buying them and
then just setting aside the ones I know and focusing on those I don't.
Were they really helpful, and would it matter buying old ones? I figure I'm
ok with most of the IFRS stuff so far....
