    NINJA Question –

    Hi guys,

    My 2nd attempt at FAR is this Saturday and I was feeling confident and good about what I’ve learned, especially studying with Roger. I was doing pretty good with Roger’s MCQs…probably high 80s or low 90s in most sections. Now I’m studying with the NINJA MCQs that I decided to leave for last because the order doesn’t follow Roger and I didn’t want to get all confused. Anyway, although my trending score has improved compared to my first go around, which was around 50, I am still not trending very high, right now I’m at a 68% and with 2 days to go I’m freaking out! Here are my overall trending scores:

    Category Description Average Score Average Trending Score

    1 Conceptual Framework, Standards, Standard Setti… 80% 81%

    2 Financial Statement Accounts: Recognition, Meas… 62% 56%

    3 Specific Transactions, Events, and Disclosures:… 69% 78%

    4 Governmental Accounting and Reporting 51% 54%

    5 Not-for-Profit (Nongovernmental) Accounting and… 62% 74%

    Question Session Totals: 66% 68.60%

    Last night I had a meltdown because I couldn’t figure out how to answer some revenue recognition/deferred revenue questions. I work in corporate accounting and I feel that I should know that inside and out…mind you I found some of the questions were a bit obscure. Although I know the material very well sometimes I just couldn’t even figure out what the question wanted from me just because of the way it was worded or presented…not sure if that makes sense. Last night I feel like I had a total mental block. It’s month end closing at work and I can’t concentrate on work because I keep thinking about this exam and I don’t know what approach I should take next. I am studying tonight for about 4 hours, tomorrow for another 6 hours so please I need advice on what I should really focus on from here on out. Although my trending scores may not show it I feel pretty good about the S/E, cash flows, bonds, leases, pensions and NFP. I do feel like I need more time with government which I’ll continue to practice on. What do you all think? Any recommendations on my final hours of study will be soooooo greatly appreciated. Thank you.
