When I start taking my test, can I just start writing down all the ratios on the scratch paper they give me??

REG-69,70,74,78
AUD-73,86
BEC-69,73,75
FAR-65,73,84-I AM DONE!!!

offlineMemberI definitely did that, especially for audit. It's perfectly OK, I'd even encourage it. Why wait until you get to the problem, start to get nervous, and confuse an equation? I love writing down facts that I remember, if nothing else it gives you confidence that you remembered some of what you studied.

Far - 88 Q4-10.
Reg - 74 Q1-11, 81 Q2-11.
Bec - 79 Q2-11.
Aud - 73 Q3-11, 89 Q4-11.

Whenever you see a question on a particular ratio, quickly look down and write down the formula without even reading the rest of the question. Once you have your formula written down, look up at the screen and THEN read the entire question and the choices.
FAR: 52, 66, 73, 61, 89
AUD: 47, 87
BEC: 80
REG: 64, 74, 84

Gasp. You're almost 25? Geez, throw in the towel, it's all over for you! ;)
For real though, if there are any points you struggle remembering, I think it's worth writing it down as soon as you get in there. I did that for a couple of items. Once I had it written down, I could focus on the exam without worrying about forgetting that information. Good luck!
MN - DONE!!!

offlineMemberI took REG today. As with AUD and BEC, once the prometric staffer has seated me and BEFORE I enter my launch code(as this is when the time starts ticking) I write down as many memonics as I can as fast as I can. No more than a couple of minutes doing this though.

offlineMemberYou only have 10 minutes to log in or you can't take the test. That is why they are saying to log in and thenn write down the notes. Time flies! I know it takes away from your clock but I'd rather be able to take the test than have to wait til next window.
FAR - 63, 79
AUD - 83!
REG - 37, 79

offlineMemberI was tempted to write down notes as soon as I sat down...I chickened out. I guess I was worried about some weird rule or something.
It appears ok to do...you didn't bring anything in to use and you're not working on any of the exam ahead of time.

offlineMemberGo to the AICPA website and read their sample test and tutorial. It says that you have ten minutes AFTER entering the launch code to navigate to the first testlet. Just trying to give some pointers here. I don't make it obvious. I only take a minute, if even that.
