I have no experience in non-for-profit and I’m sitting for FAR next week. I’m pressed for time and don’t know where to begin with that subject. Any thoughts on the keys areas that I should know going into the exam? Has any of your study material pointed out the “important” things? Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thank you

I used Becker's book and their final review. I had no experience either before I sat, not even a class in it! I just did a lot of MCQs and hoped that there wasn't much on it on the exam. I found the website cpareviewforfree.com afterwards and now have used it for BEC and AUD. They seem to have more MCQs similar to beckers and its a good tool to get more practice in it. Unfortunately I don't know my results but I seemed comfortable with the questions that I saw on the exam with just Beckers…..

FAR 7/2 - 88
BEC 7/30 - 87
AUD 8/27 - 80
REG 11/12 - 96

Thanks Michelle. I'm using Becker too (although it's 2009 material). I'll aim at doing questions and cross my fingers. Good luck!!!

Also, I found that Jeff's notes for AUD would really good. I just looked at his for FAR and they have a handful of pages on NFP/Gov't. Not sure how much they are but you can join the “other side” (Club 75) for $20 a month and then you can get the notes for free. Definitely something else for you to look into.

So by joining for $20/a month, I get to see FAR notes for all subjects including gov/nfp? Anything that would help me within the next 5 days would be great. thanks

Yep that's what I did. You can get the notes with the free trial. You can also get all Jeff's notes for the rest of the tests as well as his 2 books about the CPA exam.
