brah the change between 2010 and 2011 was negative, and that requires a different way of adding up. That's what I don't get.

when there is a decrease you use the previous years index. use the 2010 index to calculate the 2011 end inventory then you skip the 2011 index and go to 2012 for the 2012 end inv

While studying.. Strong:

Fuark mirin question. Becker must be aware

[GhenghisPWN]

Audit was silly. First testlet was pretty easy, so second testlet must go to rocket science level obviously.

The questions were worded so oddly I didn't even know what 10 of them were asking.

[ODbrah]

finding out scores tomorrow. WE gonna make it brahs

As far as studying...I applied first and then once approved I scheduled my exams. However, once you are approved and get your Notice to Schedule (NTS), you only have 9 months to schedule and take all 4 exams. If you think you'll need more time than that start studying now. For transcripts, I had my university send it directly to the board. Pretty sure that's mandatory but you can call the state board or go to their website.

thanks bro. also, i have the required credits to sit for the exam, but have not yet fulfilled the 150 hours. i also dont have the one year work experience yet. if i apply and pass the exams, is there a certain time frame that i have to finish my units/get work experience to get licensed by?

I do not recall...but given that you'll be paid significantly more once you actually have your license that should be enough motivation to get it done ASAP.

damn. well my plan is to start on my cpa and complete all exams by august, and then im going to start my mba program right after (which should get me to 150 hours), but i dont know if ill be able to get the work experience under a cpa for a while. from what i understand, the work experience does not have to come from a cpa firm, correct? as long as im working at a company that has a cpa, and he/she signs off on the hours?

pepper your angus...

recently they made the exam more difficult. you used to get the same 50 questions each time you took it and they told you which sections to fix so if you wrote down your answers and such it made it easy to find which ones you should look back and correct. now you get entirely new questions.

luckily, I passed my 2nd attempt. each attempt took roughly 10 hours. you must be very tedious, it tries to trick you.

we're all gonna make it

[Vbrah]

also, is there a certain order that you guys recommend to take the exams?

Why do you say that? I just compared the new test with the old test and they are very similar. Many of the questions they just changed the names.

also, is there a certain order that you guys recommend to take the exams?

Becker recommends splitting up the 2 most voluminous exams (REG and FAR) so that's what I did- BEC, FAR, AUD, and then REG. I really learned how to study efficiently after the first exam, so I'd recommend starting out with BEC or AUD which are lighter on the material (not necessarily easier though)

Brahs.. Anyone with a useful link to UML class diagram design ?. You know, how to figure out what classes you need, and what multiplicities and associations to create. I'm not talking at a program level, I'm talking about writing them down on paper.

Got a midterm coming up for Accounting information systems in 4 days and I want to practice a lot, but the material our professor provided is really weak.

Will rep for life srs...

[Mazkulin]

Taking an accounting IS class next semester, how is it?

Taking an accounting IS class next semester, how is it?

-They had us do a project that represents the old double entry system. You buy a kit called "Systems understanding Aid" which comes with all these sample receipts and what not.

-They compare the old way of doing things "Double entry" vs the new way of doing things "REA"



^Pretty much the cream of it.

[Vbrah]

got my bachelors in accounting, but surprisingly, i never took an audit class. will i still be okay with the cpa review material, or should i do some separate studying on audit?

how is this even possible lol.. did you do any internships?

audit isn't "that hard", but you gotta know the right words though

surprisingly, my audit classes had the lowest class averages and the highest fail rates.. you either get it or you don't
