So FAR is my last section. I passed the other three only using becker. I failed far by three points the first time so i figured i needed to up my game and i bought Roger’s FAR Cram. What was I looking for when i bought the cram? I was looking for a new spin on the topics i learned in becker, some new questions, and maybe some mnemonics all the while keeping it to 16 hours like it says on the website.

What I got was a book that is about as big as my becker FAR book, a course that goes in depth with almost every topic, and a course than doesn’t run 16 hours but instead runs 32 hours. Now you may be thinking, geez thats great more hours than you thought. Wrong. When you only have two weeks to review; you aren’t looking to spend every remaining review minute watching videos.

I fully believe you can pass the FAR section with roger’s far cram. I mean it is that in depth and full of good information. I am not knocking the course at all. i will not be able to finish it, but i have liked it so far. One of the good things is he gives you a lot of questions in the back, and I mean a lot of questions. And his chart on the differences b/w gaap and ifrs is really excellent.

Bottom line, I was very disappointed to learn that Roger’s FAR Cram is less like a cram and more like the full course. I was expecting a semi-detailed summary of all the topics with just the major areas covered. I wasn’t looking for the detail they went into. Just wanted to give my opinion on it.

Are you sure you didn't purchase the full course? The Roger FAR cram course is only 16 hours of lectures, not 32….

FAR - 71 (7/2012), OCT/NOV 12
AUD - TBD
REG - TBD
BEC - TBD

paid for CRAM, got shipped the full course?

I bought the online cram. The book says cram and so does the screen to watch the cram. When i go to the screen to watch the cram you can see all the different sections and it shown 38 different topics. So now I am really confused because it seems like I have the full course, yet everything i see says the online cram. Plus it cost me less than $300, when the full course is $700.

Has anyone used roger's far cram and can tell me if i have the wrong one

Did you calculate the total time of all the videos? I know some sections are short (10-20 minutes)

FAR - 86
AUD - 8/25/12
REG - 11/24/12
BEC - 1/14/12

I had both the full course and the cram course for Roger. I found with the cram he goes through everything pretty quickly compared to the full course.

Is your book an actual book or pages binded?
