[RE2PECT]

As I finished wrapping up blaw for REG last night, I realized how much I hate doing mcq’s on them and it made me think back on which ones I disliked most for each section. BEC as a whole was my least favorite section and it shows in my scores.

FAR- bonds
AUD- internal control
BEC- operations management
REG- anything involving UCC (especially negotiable instruments & secured transactions)

FAR – anything IFRS, or anything having to do with statement titles.

Audit – Government Funds

BEC – COSO horse dung and IT non-sense.

Aaron and always remember, YMMV

I profit from your CPE frustration. You're welcome.

FAR – Oh there was so much, I hated this section so much more than the others. But I'd have to say Government, everything is just so different.

Audit – The cycles, the ones on where do the documents go.

REG – Anything law – but most specifically would be AMT.

BEC – IT questions that were outdated while studying. But it is hard to say, that test is so random, it is kind of blending together for me.

I can only mention FAR because that's the only one I've taken but I got an onslaught of questions about non-profit and governmental acct. Let's just say that I was not nearly as well prepared as I thought I was. But after about 12 questions on each that just kept coming at me repeatedly, I was like “Stop it already.”

I'll agree with others about Stockholders Equity questions. Those take way too long, particularly the ones on EPS/Diluted EPS.

AUD – Internal Control

REG – Anything dealing with UCC

AUD- PASSED 11/16

BEC – Variances/cost accounting
REG – B Law
