I passed FAR (80), BEC (83), and AUD (83) on the first attempt using Gleim. I felt pretty good after all three and felt that Gleim well prepared me for all three. However, I took REG today and did not feel so great leaving it. Many of the questions were obscure or not explained well in Gleim. The time limit killed me too. I felt just fair/ok on all the MC's and ok on the first simulation. The second sim was brutal and I'm sure I did horrible on that one. This is the first time I felt that there is a good chance that I may not pass. Four questions for anyone that would be kind enough to give me some thoughts/advice.
1. If a question is quite obscure yet not difficult, meaning you really had to just be lucky to have studied it, would it be weighted by the AICPA as being a difficult question?
2. Normally, I would move on to studying the next section, but I have passed the other 3. Should I keep studying REG as if I did not pass until I get my grade? I hate to waste the time studying for nothing, but I feel that if I wait a month until grades come out, I will forget valuable information if I failed and need to retake.
3. Is there a better review system for REG, other than Gleim?
4. My job right now is very flexible and allows me to study whenever I want. I was planning on getting an accounting job after I passed the exam. I wanted to be able to concentrate on studying or an accounting job, but not both. In the position I am now, would it be safe to say that I could handle an accounting job and studying for REG (if I failed)?
Jeff, I love your sight. How can I make a donation? Thanks to everyone for any thoughts/advice!!
