   Would someone please let me know if the ratios (i.e. Liquidity, Activity, Profitability etc) are actually provided to you during the exam or do we have to memorize them?

   Thanks

   Sorry to disappoint but the ratios are not provided anywhere. It's one of those things you just have to commit to memory. You also need to be able to analyze what those ratios mean and know which is a liquidity, profitability, etc. Just make notecards and read them until you know them by heard. Make sure you know what is used in determining working capital, quick assets, and the such.

   For FAR, you'll also have to know how to calculate the weighted average of shares for EPS calculations, so don't skimp on any part.

   FAR 88 (07/15/11)
   BEC 83 (08/31/11)
   AUD 81 (10/15/11)
   REG 83 (11/26/11)

   @KasiaS,

   :(

   but thanks for letting us know now, i would definitely hate it when i see that the ratios are not provided on the actual exam. start making flash cards i guess :( good that i took FAR already and some of the the really basic one i already got them down.

   @atelery, if you passed FAR the ratios shouldn't be any worse for AUD. As long as you understand the ratios and can reasonably analyze the results, you should be fine. Keep in mind, this is not a real big part of AUD.

   FAR 88 (07/15/11)
   BEC 83 (08/31/11)
   AUD 81 (10/15/11)
   REG 83 (11/26/11)
