    The easiest way to remember what does Fifo and lifo do on CGS when prices are going up is to work the formula.

    Beg Inv + Purchases – Ending Inv= Cost of Goods Sold

    Pay attention to what Lifo vs Fifo will do to ending Inv and you will always get your answer. Hopefulcpa did it easier,but I might forget the details. With this formula, I wont forget anything cause I just need to follow the pattern and will also help me with other questions.

    I'm using mostly Becker to study for FAR.

    I was wondering which chapters are considered the hardest/longest???

    I'm having difficulty allocating my time properly. I recently started to study for FAR and I'm planing to sit in August. F2 caught me off guard. It's not something I cant handle but its taking me twice as long as F1.

    @nosleep — I”ve only gone through F7 but from what I've seen so far, F3 and F4 have been the hardest for me. I think it's because I normally don't deal with securities on a regular basis and there seems to be a ton of info in F4 to get through.

    I've heard that F8-F9 are tough though…can't wait for that! lol

    I also received my score summary today. I was strong on Multiple Choice and weak on Sims. I know it's because I didn't finish because I ran out of time šŸ™

    Compared to most candidates I was strong in three areas, comparable in one and weak in one

    I feel like I'm so close. It sucks that my REG score expires at the end of the month. I wish I had one more try.

    Kappa1032 F8 and F9 are my strong area. Once you review the material and answer the MQ, you'll be fine.

    @nosleep..F2 is a hard one. It took me twice as long to do that than F1. I finished my first run through the book and am now reviewing and honestly I felt all chapters to be hard. I hv never done Govt non profit in school so even that was a challenge for me.

    I m counting on my review to really master/grasp the concepts I hv been struggling with.

    @Mssolomon, I think that is a good idea. I am going to do all of the multiple choice questions as well. I think it's also helpful to do the AICPA practice questions.

    When you guys do progress tests, how many minutes do you set per question? Becker's default is 1 minute per question — is that realistic? I just tried it that way and halfway through the 68 questions with only 10 minutes to go!!
