So I am new to the CPA exam and am waiting for my REg score (10/01), and I take FAR 1/02 (rough date i know, but i start my job Jan 4th)... does anyone have any helpful hints to help me pass FAR the first time.. this will be my hardest test, so I am really nervous and not sure what to expect...

Take good short notes and you MUST do all your practice MCQs at least 2 times, better 3 times and you should be ready with what you know.......Also, FAR is a beast, you're going to need alot of time to study and you should cancel all of your holiday events and consider yourself under "house arrest"....starting this weekend....lolgood luck!

Don't worry TampaAccountant, I thought I was either going to get a 76 or a 74 when I walked out, so stay positive.

offlineMemberThe holidays are going to royally suck as I too have planned an early January FAR exam. Our busy season at work cranks up right about then, so I need to get it over with. I am actually looking forward to tax season so I don't have to study FAR... now THAT is sad.
Just keep working the problems until you can't stand it anymore. It's torture and I have to force myself to open my laptop everyday and plow on. I made 14% on my homework today, but it will not keep me down!!! May Santa bring us all some extra energy and determination to succeed!

You might be in Wave 2. It's not a bad sign, just agonizing to wait. You may have had a new simulation or something. Jeff predicts those score should be up by December 17.
