I finally passed IA 1, and honestly, a pass is a pass. I had failed OA2 once before, and one thing I realized is what makes the second OA tougher. Even though Cash & Receivables and Inventory carry a lot of weight, a large portion of the questions focus on Time Value of Money. Because of that, you really need a solid understanding of those last two sections to do well overall.

I felt like I answered more questions correctly this time, so moving forward, I’m going to spend more time really grinding the concepts and making sure I fully understand them.

This was way too close to failing for me.... like what got me with inventory is the fact that I didn't know what was affected when inventory was over or understated fully, like i should have.

Just passed the first OA for IA1, and it honestly wasn't that bad.. Preparing myself for OA 2, as many say, is more difficult.

Total study time for this was about 3 days. Could have gone faster, but opted to take it slow.

Please share any tips that helped you if you've already taken this class.

I just passed D216 and… yeah, people weren’t lying—this class is very information-heavy.

I mostly relied on Elin’s first set of videos from the course resources, and honestly, that wasn’t enough (the outline even hints at that, so that’s on me). The videos are great for building a foundation, but I kind of left the rest up to luck and vibes lol.

If I could do it again, I’d definitely go through the textbook. There were a few things on the OA that weren’t covered in the videos I watched—not a ton, but enough to matter.

That said, if you really understand what Elin covers, you can pass using some deductive reasoning. Just know it’s a bit risky.

So I am down to the final 8 classes and wondering if you guys think it's doable to finish all 8 within 13 weeks?
