Thanks the heads up Jeff... just took BEC today & getting ready for FAR, which will be the final one.
I wanted to ask if there will be any major changes to the FAR section in the upcoming window that i should be aware of... also, i currently have the 2008 Edition of textbooks from Becker ... will they be ok for now, or should i buy a newer version... i bought the complete set last year and never got to use FAR uptill now.
Thanks

2009 materials should be ok, but 2008 materials need to be thrown away.
There were some major changes from 2008 to 2009.
I always recommend using the latest (2010) materials, though.

QCPA - nothing has changed...that's just my standard FAR study suggestion. It's my same recommendation as when I took it in 2008. The strategy is still the same.

@VMC82 .... i also have the 2008 version of Becker books and have used them for 3 of the parts without a problem... but i seem to have a question for FAR, simply because of the new FASB's that were issued since 2008 & their testing on the exam.
Jeff, if you could provide some insight... how is the Yaeger Material comprised?... meaning, do u have a software to do the M/C Q's and Simulations Practice, along with the regular textbook? ... just want to get some insight because at this point i am leaning towards buying the latest FAR section from Yaeger. Also if i buy the course from Yaeger, does that include he textbook or only the lectures?... thanks in advance for your input.
Sometimes its better to be safe, since this is my final section.

I've been studying for FAR since mid-October and feel like nothing is sticking! There is so much information and I can't seem to retain what I felt good about even a week ago. I wish I could just get it over with, but no testing in December. That makes no sense to me since accountants are usually not so busy in November and December - the perfect time to take the exam. Our busy season starts up in January so if I don't pass then, I will have to wait until April or May. That 18 month window gets more and more narrow!

The Yaeger FAR HomeStudy comes with the 2010 Wiley CPA book, 2010 Wiley CPA Software with MCQs and Sims, approx. 13 lecture DVDs, instructor handouts, and instructor hotline.
You can get it for $345 if you join Club 75. Get it for $395 without joining Club 75 with the code A71PART.
You will want updated (2009 and beyond) material because of 141R.

I used the HomeStudy to pass FAR.

shilpi123 - the Wiley + Yaeger cram is only good if you already have a solid foundation for FAR. The cram is meant for a final look at everything, not to teach you the foundational concepts. For this, you would want the HomeStudy.
