FAR is FRUSTRATING. I cannot for the life of my grasp anything in F1:M6. I haven’t scheduled my exam so I’m not too pressured but I feel so behind. What’s the best thing to do if I’m stuck? Do I move on?

I think a good it’s good with FAR to know a little bit of everything rather than drilling into topics. Like associate 1 said, you’ll see each topic 1-2 times if at all. So just try to know the basics and move on.

I don’t remember what that section is, but keep in mind the exam you take will 100% not have every topic you study. If it’s just one topic, move on. Odds are you will see that topic between 0 and 2 times for multiple choice questions which realistically won’t make a difference between passing and failing

It’s accounting changes and errors

I’d say to skip that one module with relative peace of mind. You should be able to pick that up indirectly in other units. Try again closer to the week of the exam and see if the concept is sticking then. Sometimes you just need to walk away before your brain process new information

The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.
