I am just starting studying for FAR with Becker. Just out of curiosity, what do you think the worst out of the 10 chapters is? I am just trying to know what I am getting myself into so I am not frustrated when coming across annoying and difficult chapters. It might be different for everyone, but just wanted to see if there was a common chapter the majority thought was the worst. I would appreciate your feedback.

I won't start until next week, but I've heard F2 was the most frustrating.

I absolutely hated the chapters over Govermental Accounting. They're toward the end and I guess part of it was that I had lost all patience by that time with listening to FAR lectures and I just don't understand why Governemental has to have a different set of rules and journal entries. I absolutely dread having to go over that stuff again, but I will because I'm sure there will be a lot of it on my exam since I hate it so much!

BEC - 75 (Becker only)
REG - 73 (Becker only), retake July 2013 - 86!! (Becker supplemented with NINJA notes)
FAR - 74 (Becker only), retake August 2013 (Becker, supplementing with NINJA notes and audio)

I'm studying for FAR right now and so far F1 blew past my head. I continued on with F2 and everything feels so bland and boring that I skipped to F8 and F9. Found the governmental topics more interesting because they related to each other whereas F1-F2 seemed like a buncha random topics slushed together.

Since I am about to finish non for profit, I am going to move onto F6 which is Pensions and Accounting for Income Taxes. I remember this section in college and thought it was interesting, so hopefully I'll be okay. I feel like I am jumping around too many chapters, but whatever keeps me motivated to study is what I need.

REG = 58 (02-20-13), 75 (05-01-13)
AUD = 67 (05-29-13), 79 (08-29-13)
BEC = 83 (07-31-13)
FAR = 72 (10-29-13), 69 (02-27-14), 73 (04-16-14), 81(08-13-14)

Study Materials = Becker 2013 + Wiley Online Test Bank
