Obviously totally subjective, but it is just a case of really knowing the formulas and ratios, we should already know the concepts...
I wanna spend the least time I can studying for this  |
Hi ridn8ude,
I think moving on to study Principles of Finance next is a great idea.
Who knows how much more studying you need to do though. There are too many subjective variables, and it is going to be different for everyone.
However, I wouldn't recommend that you rush into this one. I would caution you to take your time, and make sure you learn all the new material well. There are significant differences between this exam and the accounting exam. This is a very challenging, upper level exam.....so do what you need to do to get yourself ready for it.
Also, your calculator will be your friend on this one.
I would include Principles of Finance in my list of THE most difficult exams.....but it IS passable if you work hard, don't rush into it, and show it the respect it deserves.
Best of luck,
Snazzlefrag
