    I'm done! It was a true test of my character to study while working full time, but I don't regret it. Thanks everyone for your support!

    You should move on and not waste your time waiting for the results. I was 100% sure I failed FAR, but moved on to REG and ended up passing. I only finished about 25% of my last testlet, since I ran out of time. Same thing happened with REG. This time I completed all the Sims, but I guessed on so many mc questions. The point is, dont assume that you failed. Start studying for REG and hope for the best. Even if you failed AUD, you only need a couple weeks to prepare, since you already know the material. Good luck!

    Here is how it works. PCAOB provides generally accepted auditing standards for the audits of issuers, and SAS (Statements on Auditing Standards) provides standards for the audits of nonissuers. However, GAAS aka generally accepted auditing standards should be followed in both cases. Hope this makes sense.

    You can practice SIMs using the Progress Test in Becker. I know some people here say that they passed without practicing SIMs whatsoever, but for me personally it helped to grasp the complicated topics

    Everyone learns differently, so I can only describe my own experience studying for FAR. I tried taking notes, but I figured its a complete waste of time, unless you really struggle remembering a specific concept. Listen to lectures and pause it to re-read the complicated concepts. Focus more on MCQs and take your notes from the questions you get wrong if necessary. Retake the MCQ until you get a close to perfect score. Do the progress test after each chapter so you don't forget the material entirely. Once you're done with all chapters, go back and re-do all the Skill Practices and MCQs. Take Mock Exam 1. Go back to your weak modules and practice practice practice. Take Mock Exam 2. Repeat. Finally, take your last Mock Exam 2-3 days before the actual exam. And DON'T skip any sections.

    Congrats! I had similar experience with FAR. I ran out of time and completely guessed on 2 out of 3 sims on the last testlet, and got 82
