    I'm still reading the ninja notes and flashcards too. I'm also going through the sims since I haven't done those yet.

    Here is my strategy over the next few days:

    Read 3 chapters of flashcards every day

    Read Ninja notes daily

    Do 180 m/c daily

    Work sims until I have completed them all one time.

    I'm also planning on going back through Becker book and re-reading the tables at the end of the chapters with the IFRS differences.

    Wednesday is coming sooo fast! Good luck!

    first time I've cracked 75% going through them, they are hard as heck. Also, there were 3 questions I changed last second to wrong answers 🙁

    good luck on your exam jo

    1. Watch your time on the exam — have a plan on when you'll be done with each MCQ testlet.

    2. Use the research tab for ALL the SIMS. that saved my tail on the SIMS.

    FAR -- 90
    AUD -- 95
    BEC -- 82
    REG -- 92

    DONE!

    Good luck all of my cyber friends that are taking the test this week!

    I would suggest that you make sure you know very basic material as well. There were a LOT of easy, easy one liner questions in my first testlet – easy to the point that I was shocked. I would have kicked myself if I did not take one last look through the book to get those super easy ones right. I'm talking easy like: What does Not For Profit use? GASB or FASB (not one of my questions, but that is the simplicity of some of these).

    REG - 80 (Becker only)
    BEC - 76 (Becker only)
    AUD - 71, 76 (Becker only)
    FAR - 65, 74, 81! (Becker, Wiley Test Bank, Ninja notes & Audio)

    I would like to know this as well…I'm really struggling on those. I'm ignoring them for now, but I'll scan them over right before I walk in to the testing center.
