CPA for the win
offlineMemberI'll also be doing a FAR retake in early November. The Wiley HW book I have has 17 modules in it. Is yours the same? I would suggest trying to get one to two modules done per day, depending on the length of each module.
That should take you up to the last day with all the modules covered. Best of luck to you.

Good luck to you as well.

Just reviewing your weak areas is not going to work. This is not college. The AICPA will ignore areas tested heavily on your last exam, and they will hit the footnotes of new material on your next exam. It is very important that you cover ALL of the material. These exams are an inch thick and a mile wide.

offlineMemberI felt my weak areas were more related to concepts and really some of the basics.
As this was my first exam I had no idea what to expect, and I found myself getting bogged down on topics such as sale-leasebacks,etc...
I did just take Auditing last week and I think it has actually helped me a lot aftering studying audit and now back into financial.
And for what it's worth I'm a commercial banker and not in the industry, so like many others I am teaching this to myself via the review program and have no direct experience in accounting.

offlineMember@millerg... E-mail me if you have any questions about anything at anexa85@gmail.com. I've taken FAR and passed but I don't know how I did on auditing yet. I double-majored in accounting and finance so I may be able to help explain some of the topics you haven't really seen. It looks like you were very close to passing, especially when you consider that you don't have an accounting background. I'll bet you pass next time!
