Just '''' it up and do not waste time on complaining. If you are in the top 5% in mathematics skills in the U.S.... you will make it if you work hard.... But you will get the best job there is, bar none."

I just saw a commercial on mesothelioma and asbestos exposure. What timing.

I thought it was a fairly straightforward exam.

Just some observations:

(1) Kudos to TIA for calling the asbestos question almost word for word.

(2) Kudos to CtrlAltDelete on the supervision/rehabilitation/liquidation problem

(3) No tax accounting, IRS loss reserve discounting or Canada

Non-accounting stuff was pretty straightforward IMO. So was some of the accounting stuff.

And it was weird how they asked a calculational Miceli question when they said we were not responsible for the numerical calculations

I just have to hope that they take mesothymelsia (or whatever I put) as an answer...
