I just passed Reg. I used Becker to study and focused on multiple choice questions. I did them all and made sure I understood everything. Once you have the concepts mastered from doing all the multiple choice questions you shouldn't really have any issues with the sims.

I am using Becker and it took me about 3 months to study for FAR. That includes getting through the material and 3 additional weeks of review. I think that was too much review so going forward I am looking to do only 2 weeks.

I only did multiple choice questions but if there was something I wasn't clear on I watched the lecture over that particular topic. Studied for 6 weeks working full time. I just studied for 2-3 hours each night after work and most of the day on weekends.

What course review did you use and how long did it take you to study for FAR?

@pwc1 - what was your Becker strategy? Lectures, re-write notes, multiple choice questions until you die? How long did it take you to study? (Working full time?)

Just passed FAR. Reg is my last one ^

NINJA MCQ.... Do all new questions until you have done them all..... Then do all the missed questions until you get it right..... Then practice trouble questions. And practice sins..... But I'd focus more on training yourself to answer the questions the way the test makers want you to (formatting etc)

Does anyone know why I lose more weight when I eat 2000 calories vs when I eat 1200 calories? For reference, I am currently 5’7 F and 128 lbs. I cannot work out for another month due to an expiring CPA exam so I am definitely losing muscle mass.

When I calorie count, I account for every little thing such as the vegetable oils or the tbs of salt. The 1200 calories is usually an extremely large meal + fruits + soup. The 2000 calories is usually a meal from a restaurant + fruits + a sandwich.
