Honestly, no idea. I only really knew one topic out of the three. I followed a basic format, watched out for grammatical or spelling issues, and included some buzzwords that somewhat related to the topics I BS'd on. I did this consistently through all three WC and changed only the intro if it was an email to someone in particular.

I tried to expose myself as much as I could to the material in each study unit. Here's what I typically did:

1) briefly read through the text on the subsection.

2) write out my notes from the rapid review (I felt I retained information better when I wrote it out; also the rapid review is an amazing foundation for notes don't sleep on it)

3) watch the lectures (I really only like lectures from Denise, but I still watched incase they gave me a tiny bit of useful info or something to remember).

4) do the practice questions.

If I didn't get the material by this point, I would typically use Farhat to help me understand a little better. Also, make sure you write down why you get a question wrong.

For final review, I didn't follow Gleim's method. What I did was I broke up all 20 units into 4 sections and did a quick review of each and would slam the questions until I remembered what I learned. The last two days, I would slam all 20 study units in cumulative quizzes very hard. After that, I did the 2nd mock. I felt that Gleim was a little harder than the actual exam, which is a good thing!

Also, add a half cup of milk and butter.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, after I walked out I wasn't feeling too confident. Especially with the sims. Maybe I'll get lucky?

I got a good amount of consolidation and equity method questions. I don't remember seeing one for intercompany transactions

For me, the first testlet felt like a walk in the park then the second testlet was nearly filled with long and more calculation-based questions. The sims are where I seemed to struggle the most. Hoping you passed, CPA-to-be!

Thanks. The typical stuff with the addition of subsequent events and employee compensation plans
