@ Nora – FAR is probably the hardest exam to prepare for, but in my experience, the actual exam was easy. This was my first test, so I thought I had failed because it was so easy. For FAR, I would definitely focus in on bonds, leases, deferred taxes and cash to accrual, or accrual to cash. Journal entries are very important in FAR and they help greatly when trying to figure some of the Bond, or deferred tax problems. Every time you work a MCQ, make sure you do the journal entry on a piece of paper, or notebook as this will help you better understand the concept, and more importantly help you remember the entry. Governmental and Non-profit questions on the exam are not that difficult compared to the test banks I used, they were actually very easy, but If I were you, I would probably read those chapters over a couple of times, since most people sitting for the exam don't have experience in that field. Also, make sure you know IFRS and the differences from GAAP.
