FAR Exam Session Recap


FAR Exam Insights:

  • Pass Rates: We discussed how FAR consistently has the lowest pass rates among CPA exam sections, with barely 40% of candidates passing.

  • 2024 FAR Blueprint: The 2024 blueprint has changed the presentation of testable content but not the content itself. I emphasized that memorizing content doesn’t work well for the CPA exam. It's crucial to understand the material thoroughly. For instance, Area II of the blueprint includes a section on the balance sheet, but candidates must also understand the other financial statements and their interconnections.


Live Instructor Tutorial:

  • Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ): I shared my screen to walk through an MCQ from the FAR Exam Review Workbook & demonstrated how an MCQ can easily become simulations.

  • Answer Strategies: I shared strategies I used to double your chances of selecting the correct answer, even when you don't know what the question is asking.


How I Approach CPA Exam Questions:

  1. Understand what’s being asked by reading the last sentence first.

  2. Use your existing knowledge - you know more than you think.

  3. Follow the fact pattern to the right answer.
