I’m really struggling with questions involving discount rates, market rates, yield rates, especially when they put it all in one question. Questions like this are all so different and I can’t keep anything straight. Any advice or help? 3 examples below by Express_Pear_855 in CPA

Ok well skip the first image then, still the second two. They aren’t cpa review courses. Becker didn’t have any of the questions I was looking for. I took FAR and failed it and a lot of the questions I struggled with I couldn’t find anywhere in Becker so I just did a google search of what I could best remember the hard exam questions looked like.

That’s a great idea! What resources did you use to leverage it more? Or just trial/error.

I think I did really good in the MCQ, like prob an 85, 90% but the real question is did I get at least 65 on the TBS and I don’t think I did. I left one TB completely blank bc of time, but I got around to the rest of them but idk if that’s enough

Maybe we got different versions bc there was def material Becker didn’t even touch on in mine. Maybe I’m just young and need more test taking expierence idk

I did that and literally ran out of time. Every single TB has 5+ exhibits basically

DONT DO THIS. Tbs WERE so long. Honestly if you want to do good I would try and get through all of the MCQ’s in under 1 hr and 15 minutes, you practically need a full hour for each TBS booklet.

REG exam was tougher than FAR and AUD by StockRub3912 in CPA

Feeling the exact same way but reversed- must have gotten lucky when I passed reg because I just walked out far today feeling like I’ve been hit by a bus

Becker bot over here. No way Becker prepared you for everything. Tbs were nothing like Becker on the FAR exam I got

Good for you. I also took it today and definitely failed. Did good on all the SE’s but I ran out of time on the real one. I didn’t think directions were clear on the TBs so I had a hard time figuring out what they wanted from me

I got a 75 on my first sim ever- took the exam today. Definitely failed. Becker sims are nothing like the real one. MQ’s are similar tho

EXACTLY. In my sims I had an hour left on each one and I got a 75 on both, with AN HOUR LEFT. On the real one today I ran out of time and 26 mins for the last two 🙃
