For American Government, I would know the slides. I think that will lead to a good score on multiple-choice. For the essays, I am not sure what to suggest for preparing. I feel they are sort of different from other Davar exams. They are more theoretical in nature, and I feel like someone needs to be at least average at essay questions. I was surprised by most of the essay questions, but did not panic.

Great! Thanks and good luck to you too.
I planned to take Multinational Business Finance tomorrow, but I'm not feeling well. I hope I can still manage to take something tomorrow, even if it's only Meteorology, but I may have to cross out one or two exams.

This is a great tip.

I think Davar goes by the time zone that you're in based on the completion times they list for the exams I've completed. If I fail all of them, I wouldn't be surprised because I waited until the last minute, and now I'm in a rush. I'm a procrastinator; that's nothing new. I will say that Managerial Accounting seems easier than Intro to Accounting (Financial Accounting).

Fin 310, passed with a 76. Obviously I would prefer a high grade but for the limited amount of time I had to study. I will take it! End of the month is almost here. Let's finish strong!

I just finished American Government, and I uh... Winged everything.
I studied the slides, read them over 5 times. Most of the Multiple Choice questions were covered, and I got about 5 duplicates as well, though a couple of them were not mentioned in the study guide in my experience. As stated by Ideas, the essay portion is very difficult to prepare for as there is no real basis for studying. If there is a right answer based on the materials provided, I definitely got it wrong because mine were based on contemporary events due to my interpretation of the essay question.
It also sucked as a Canadian who doesn't even know Canadian Government, let alone the US one.
On a brighter note, got 84% in Business Law Exam. But damn this one hurt. I dont wanna fail

For those of you who did Managerial Accounting what kind of equations do I need to be ready for? Was it all in the slides?

This was a tough exam. I did much worse on Am Govt essays than any other essays. Even though I studied so much history and gov't recently, and have studied a lot of the material years ago. And I think I am good at essays and test taking. I scored worse on the essays than I thought I would. I feel my grader might have been a little tough on those. I know I didn't do great on them, but that bad? I did pass because of the mult-choice.
But Strawberryfuzz got a much higher essay score than they expected.
Edit: I think I had a lenient essay grader on a couple other exams.
Congrats on Business Law. You have done a lot of Davar

Good question. If it's Isreal time or GMT, I have to hurry, skip an exam, or skip some sleep.
