    Hi guys,

    I had a question. For those of you who use Becker, I found that if I use “quotes” to find research questions (for example “Related Party Transaction”) – I can find the answer pretty quickly and easily.

    However, on the actual Exam, would this method work? Has anyone tried it? I am very curious. I wasn’t sure if I can use “quotes” on the actual exam and still find the research question quickly.

    Thanks!!!

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the quotes makes the search engine only find matches with the words you type in that specific order. For instance, if you wrote fixed assets (without quotes), the results would be anything that has the words fixed or assets in them. If you put “fixed assets” with the quotes, the only results that will show up will be results that have “fixed assets” in the text. I hope that makes sense, also a great tool to use for Google!

    @NoCoast: That is correct. It will pull up the strings of text that match exactly. Very helpful on the exam!
