Yes, two weeks for FAR along with a photographic memory to recall facts, and a decent IQ to put the facts together.

I will let you know after NOV 30,but thus far, I think Roger CPA is the father of the Audit exam. I remember when I studied for the CPA exam about 7 years ago using Becker. I pretty much had to memorize everything and did not understand a thing. I ended up with a 74 back when the exam was 70% MC questions. Now with Roger this time around, I have only completed 60% of the material, and for this first time in my life, I think I understand Audit. Even if I fail the exam on Nov 30, I still think Roger is for Audit, what Messi is for soccer.

Im traumatize because of FAR, and now I think all the other parts will be as difficult. The first time I took FAR, I did not cover CH. 10, NFP and IFRS and got a 68. The second time I took the exam, I covered NFO,IFRS and Ch 10,but didnt do a lot of simulations and got a 71. The score report said strong and stronger in everything except for simulations. The third time around I didnt skip anything and did a bunch of simulations from Gleim and got an 84. I think becker prepares you well for the MC part of FAR,but they assume you know all your JEs like the palm of your hand. This used to work prior to 2011 when simulations were on 20% of the exam ,and MC was 70%,I think they need to update their material at least for FAR.

Becker is good for FAR if you do a ton of simulations from Gleim. Becker sucks when it comes to Audit. I really liked Becker for REG too.

How long have you been studying? If you feel so unprepared, why dont you take FAR on Nov? Have you taken Becker's final exams? If you score at least a 70 on those exams, you should be fine.

katerina2665, he did mention that it took him 18 months to complete all 4 parts,so the 10 hrs was for a retake.

I was one of the few who chose a different option, and while I did take the full 18 month window to get the exam done, that was 100% my own fault.

Mary, you are absolutely wrong. Each passing score is good for 18 months.

If you want to pass FAR, do as many simulations as you do MC questions.

This is a very interesting topic. Who would you rather work with Accountant A or Accountant B. Accountant A is a smart individual with a GPA of 3.50, and he just finished with the CPA exam. It took him about 14 months to pass the exam, so he knows that he has struggled for everything he has earned including the 3.50 GPA. This also makes him a very humble individual who thinks that everyone is capable of greatness, but you have to work hard at it in other to achieve your dreams. He works hard,but also plays harder as he know that life is not just Accounting.

Accountant B is not smarter then Accountant A at least on paper since he also has a GPA of 3.5, and passed the CPA exam. The only difference with Accountant B is that he did not struggle much to pass the CPA (6 months) or to get a GPA of 3.50. Since he did not struggle much to accomplish his goals, he thinks he is a lot smarter than most Accountants he knows, and he is always comparing himself with his colleagues. This makes him very cocky and narrow minded since you can never judge a book by its cover. He loves to be right,so his life evolves around his profession. Lets say Accountant B might do the job faster than Accountant A,but both will get the job done. Who would you rather hire?

cycgundam, you are not Accountant B by the way, you might be too young so life will make you change your ways in a near future. Accountant B is someone who is already in his late 30s,but never changed his way of thinking even after life taught him many lessons.

cycgundam, do you require a sponsorship visa to work in the US? I think that might be the main issue.
