@Ch89 to say its a relief is an understatement!
I was more worried that a teen of a af date.

Good luck bro

[Nbmorty]

Thanks @Recked really appreciated

[Nbmorty]

Happy for u 🙂
We both been there but manged to pass

[Nbmorty]

People really slaughtered aud in this window


@AndreA that's bad hang there for an additional day

[Nbmorty]

Update : ended up passing 83!

[Nbmorty]

Hey @AndreA what happened with u?

[Nbmorty]

It's up passed far

[Nbmorty]

F1-f4.. I wouldn't spend as much time as the popular belief goes regarding leases/ bonds.. For gov f10 is redundant, focus on f9 tho

[Nbmorty]

Well it's silimar to my experience with but with far.. V. Good mcq decent sims until i ran out of time, didn't left anything blank tho but with drs choosing the (most logical answer without looking at the numbers) is pretty much the same as leaving them blank!
I still hope for a pass as one of them have to be a pretest, same applies to you.. We will see on the 5th

[Nbmorty]

Assuming you talking mcq there are 18% commutative chance anyone of them is a pretest! So relax and don't jump to any conclusions

[Nbmorty]

My heart sunk as i saw the updated title thought its a new thread as the scores came early lol

[Nbmorty]

No offense bro, but i bet you are one of these people who's strategy is to *hammer mcqs* just hammer them until your eyes bleed! Aren't you?!
Well, in my opinion (and it works for me personally).. You need to grasp the thing the idea behind the question, i mean things like why ratio analysis could be both an audit procedure and a risk assessment procedure, also why the inclusion of other auditors in the report is fine (whether the opinion is modified or not) while the inclusion of specialists its allowed (only if it is a qualified opinion).
Whats the difference between (understanding the design of internal control) and (the OPERATING efficiency of internal control).. That sort of things

Look if you think that there are 3 possibilities of a right answers you need to reread the book.. If you think there are two out of 4, you need to memorize that exact area (chapter/module)

to get them right!
For example in determining/assessing fraud risk there are 3 categories (ways) to respond :
1: general response (which includes asking about mgmt choices and applications of accountimg principles)

2: mgmt override response (which is deals in estimates and related party transactions = entries) but never deals with accounting application of accounting principle!

3. Adjustment of nature extent and time of aud. Procedures

You see what I mean its all there.. Why the estimates go with mgmt overide risk while accounting changes go with overall strategy?!
Coz accounting changes are suppose to be permanent and they reflect the operations of the entity! While estimates may change every now and then.. You see it?
Personally i wouldn't have known that without scrutinizing the book! Then the mcq would really solve themselves.. But the alloted time is a bitch tho

[Nbmorty]

Ask any specific question and i would answer you.. But explaining the whole thing isn't going to work since i couldn't do it better that becker!
Make sure u read the book and u understand what they are trying to say + read mcq explanations+ check all lease related sims (there are some in gov 1 so f9)
The point is (in my personal opinion with Becker you wouldn't get the full understanding without doing it all starting with lectures ending with sims then comes the aha moment)
Also in my personal opinion they did it on purpose (to avoid ppl just coping the book/sharing the pass)
You will get it at the end but you have to watch the lecture (it's Gearty but do it anyway) read the module do all mcq read why u are wrong then do sims related, and watch sim solution videos.. If by that point you still have questions just post 😉 i am happy to help.. But i doubt u will have any!

[Nbmorty]

Sgood, what do you mean by duplicate courses?

[Nbmorty]

Sorry to read that, we seem to be in the same boat brother ( and i hope our boat gets to shore on nov 5th).

I know it sucks when its just a time issue, not that u don't know how to handle the question, 4 hours defentaly not enough,if i just had another hour 🙁

How were the mcq btw?
I bet there were fair (for a cpa exam) but not doable given the time limit.. I mean u could do them but bomb the sims due to the lack of time left. but its not the point right?!
