    I double majored in accounting and information systems with a minor in econ. As you could guess, I’m doing fine with the econ and IT sections along with corporate governance. Right now I have a pretty solid grasp on all things conceptual. It’s the calculation part I’m struggling with (Financial Management). I was hoping to take the exam on 1/20 so I have enough time to fit AUD in at the end of this testing period. Do you think 10 days is enough to nail down the rest of the information I’m struggling with? And do you have any advice on doing so? Thanks in advance!!

    AUD - 72
    BEC - 75

    REG - 80
    It will all be worth it...hopefully

    What prep course are you using? There is no magic solution-just keep doing the problems and reading the book, it will happen. How many hours a day are we talking?

    I initially went through all the material in Wiley then moved onto Ninja MCQ to see my problem areas. Now I'll probably go back over those sections in Wiley. I work full time so I do about 3-4 hours on week nights and can do 8 or more this Saturday & Sunday.

    Ninja Financial management is brutal and wasn't covered to such an extent in my Becker materials, but it will definitely help get through it and diagnose what you need to know. I would then just focus on those MCQ in Ninja. Make sure you know your variances and NPV, those are the ones I see the most overlap between the two prep courses so far. Oh and contribution margin, etc. I think that should give you enough time especially if other areas are coming together.

    Thank you!! That makes me feel better. Ninja was extra tough on me so I was panicking, but glad other courses cover it on the same level as Wiley.

    Don't stress too much. I am struggling with Financial Management in Ninja too. The questions are absolutely brutal.
