Thanks, Anna!
I just left the exam and I am still shaking. On my way to a much needed facial. Maybe I can relax a little now that it's over.

However, there is no guarantee that you will not have a new simulation which will automatically put your score in Wave 2 release. I have heard people waiting as long as 11 to 12 weeks for their scores... :(

offlineMemberI hope I didn't have a new simulation. I will go crazy if I have to wait 12 weeks. One of my tabs was acting up though, so it may be new because of the glitch. It required me to put a number in a cell, but kept overriding my number. The number that was being forced was wrong. Anyway, I reported it to NASBA.
A tidbit of advice for those studying: I decided not to focus much on ratios and formulas because I didn't see too many in my Becker questions, but at the last minute, I read over 2008 and 2009 AICPA released questions. There were problems with ratios and formulas so I made sure I could do them. There were questions on my exam, not exact, but very close. I was able to figure them out from practicing with similar concepts on released questions.
Also, don't minimize gov't and NFP like some people say. It is on there.

offlineMemberFree0911, no one knows if you have a new simulation but AICPA, and they won't tell! You score will most likely come out in wave 2 if you take it on the 13th, so whether you have a new sim or not, will not matter. I think Jeff has a post somewhere on the site about recommended number of study hours for each exam. You might want to look around. Maybe even the first few posts in this thread.

Yes, so far on all three sections the questions become so familiar that you memorize the answer & not the theory. Hard to imagine that is possible when Becker has 1,000 (+-/) questions but after a few times around you do memorize those. I saw on here months ago someone with the same situation & gave good advice - find questions from other sources rather than just your review course whether online or wherever. The theory will then stick with you, not just answers.AUD:84, BEC:82, REG:85Posted 2 months ago # -

FAR questions are by far the trickiest of the 3 I have taken so far. They throw in nots, excepts, and extra dollar amounts that are not necessary for the answer... I am going to lose it.
