    Mainly the 117 Q’s that go along with the transaction cycle’s.

    I must keep my head up since this is my last part to pass! But holy crap is this stuff tricky. lol

    -----------------------------
    BEC - 77, 03/2015 (first try)
    FAR - 79, 05/2015 (second try)
    REG - 83, 12/2015 (first try)
    AUD - 84, 03/2015 (first try)

    Ya this being my first exam on Friday and i can only hope the rest aren't as bad as this. This one has been kicking my butt with the amount of material on. It is hard enough to remember and all the tricks make it insane! Just gotta keep pushing!

    FAR: 74 1/15/16, 72 7/2/16 -_-
    BEC: TBD
    REG: TBD
    AUD: TBD

    My first go through with A4 I was averaging 50%. Then 70s. Then finally got up to 80s. Still can't wrap my head around segregation of duties though!

    AUD: 98
    REG: 91
    BEC: 86
    FAR: 83

    DONE DONE DONE and DONE all on the first try! It IS possible, just keep on studying!

    It helps to write and re-write each individual process. It started to make sense to me when I was able to say that this person did X then sent it to this person who did Y and Z and then sent it to whoever.

    If you are lucky transaction cycles will not even be on the exam, but I wouldn't count on it (but it happens).

    Almost always from my phone... please excuse my typos!

    also, referring to the flowcharts for each cycle while answering MCQs should help.

    FAR- 80
    BEC- 75
    AUD- 78
    REG- ?

    I guess I just have to keep doing MCQ after MCQ. I love how the sentence worded one way is one assertion but if you flip 2 words around it's a diff assertion.

    From my experience, Becker overemphasizes transaction cycles.

    Don't skip but you're more likely to be tested on basics than to get a crazy one like the homework.

    FAR 57 (11/2014), 64 (1/2015), 79 (7/2015)
    AUD 68 (2/2015), 79 (11/2015)
    REG 79 (1/2016)
    BEC 81 (4/2016)
