I just got my results back from taking FAR for the first time - did not pass.  My Becker software expires 11/30/11 and I lose the first exam that I passed on 2/29/12.  With that said, I have one testing window to get FAR knocked out and passed.  Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should purchase and/or use to be done with FAR and get through the exam?

I studied with Yaeger Home study( videos, audiocram, lecture notes); Cindy Simpson is superb; I also used Wiley CPA Review book, Wiley Focus Notes. Governmental and not for profit need repeated study, as, much of it was difficult for me to grasp and memorize/ internalize. My view is more attention has to be paid to Sims (TSBs) by practising them; in the real exam, we have to be careful about the way the question (MCQ) is worded, use of least/most, 'not' etc. For TSBs, sound knowledge of Journal entries would be helpful. A sound grounding of FAR will definitely help in AUD also. Also making our own notes will be helpful on the eve of exam.

Passed FAR and BEC in April 2011, REG in Aug 2011 and AUD in Nov 2011.

Thank you nambivar.  I passed AUD the first time around, but wasn't so lucky with FAR.  I actually have the Yaegar lecture and such from 2009 so could probably supplement with that and just make sure that I know updates and IFRS also.  Congrats on passing all!
