Any Tips to nail these cycles in A4 welcome.

Having a tough time with the Assertions in Substantive Procedures 🙁

Please enlighten me.

I'm right there with ya..the sims for A4 are pretty annoying too. I'm just gonna memorize the crap out of them.

I'm in the same boat. The practice questions to me either don't make sense or seem like that have multiple correct answers when there's obviously one.

Aud: 42 (ouch)

All others TBD

I'd been asking this question to my senior at work, and got a tip.

He asked to take a real Co. as a base and imagine or recreate a transaction.

Like a Purchase by/Sale to Amazon, for e.g.

I am gonna try that to understand the cycle part, but i'd still need help on substantive part.

Top-Down assessment is too generic for deriving an appropriate conclusion.

Any hacks there, please suggest.

Any one doing the sims, please share tricks to beat that stuff!!!

I don't think there's really any short cut I can think of…Just memorization and if you can think conceptually about what the ultimate goal you are trying to accomplish in using the assertions, that may help as well

Used Becker online. Who needs a text when you can burn your eyes out staring at the screen for months on end?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you're hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
