Becker Question –

andddddd……I feel like a truck hit me.

I feel like I know about 10% of every section ::sigh::

Anyone else feel like this right before final review? My plan at this point is to finish up any remaining homework questions, then re-do them and do the progress tests and do the final exams a few days before. Also planning on a couple of days to work on SIMS.

Man, I just feel so overwhelmed with information. Just venting, I know only you guys understand how I feel.

Everyone else in my life is like “oh you’ve been studying for like five weeks now, you got it down!” little do they know lol

I only cover a few sections on Ch 10 because I didn’t have time to finish. I was doing about one week per chapter using Becker that means that I finished Ch 1 about two months ago. When I went back two weeks ago, I came to the realization that I have forgotten about 50% of Ch1. I don’t feel comfortable doing progress tests without going back to all the chapters once more. I wish I had your good memory cause if you are going straight to progress tests, you might feel comfortable with everything.

There's a F10 Section? OOps 😉

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

Reading Chapter F-10 is like reading all of the credits of a movie, in my opinion. But knowing that “Dolly grip” may get you that extra point to get you from a 74 to a 75 (see my scores).

Licensed Florida CPA:
B: 71, 73, 79
A: 83
R: 78 (expired), 77
F: 74, 74, 80

It's finally freaking over.

CPAattheBeach – I can only imagine how hard it is to study in paradise! 😉

When I did my final review, it felt like there wasn't that much material overall. I was afraid I didn't really know enough. But that being said, I did get 80% on most topics in MCQ… So I know how you feel and hopefully it means you are well prepared!

I'm on F8 and I already fear for the start of my final review. It's really hard for me to understand how anyone is able to retain all of the various “methods” and rules, GAAP vs IFRS, etc, that is presented in each chapter after you've moved onto future chapters.

I'll have about two and a half weeks for final review before my exam date so I'm hoping that doing a trillion m/c questions will really help.

“It's really hard for me to understand how anyone is able to retain all of the various “methods” and rules, GAAP vs IFRS, etc, that is presented in each chapter after you've moved onto future chapters.”

You take notes of the most essential things so it's easier to review right before the exam.

@ CPAattheBeach & CPAOneDayHopefullay

Here is a little trick that helped me when I was using Becker during my final review(I only wish I did this sooner). Take every IFRS/GAAP summary that is in the Appendix of every chapter out from your book. Staple them together. Review frequently. This is the best summary of IFRS/GAAP material available in the Becker system and it will be so helpful to have it in a condensed format were you can review it frequently. I could of learned the material so much quicker by referring to these amazing pages every night before I went to bed. To clarify this will allow you to read through the major rules for both GAAP and IFRS for all chapters in a 20 minute period. Good Luck!
