    Getting ready to sit for FAR on May 29, 2013. I will like to read about, what was (or you think will be) the most useful quick note that you wrote (or will write) on the available note pad right before the time of the test starts.

    It could be some equation or formula that you don’t want to forget, a mnemonic, etc.

    I will love to hear from those who took the test and learn of, what was that single piece of useful information that was a must have on that last-minute mental dump.

    I wrote down the rules that I memorized creating a cash flow stmt. Such as if you add or subtract assets or liabilities.
