Stupid.

Tell me how "a CPA CO CAREs about CURVed assertions" is a mnemonic device. Seriously. 1) That's just a dumb sentence. 2) It doesn't make sense. 3) THERE ARE 13 PARTS TO IT. THIRTEEN LETTERS! Four of which are 'C'!! How on earth am I EVER going to remember that? And it's not like this is the only mnemonic device. For this ONE section of the CPA exam (which I am only 2/5 of the way through studying) I have already encountered the following mnemonic devices:

1. CPA CO CARE CURV
2. IMACPA
3. FIND
4. TIP PIE ACDO
5. RAPMEAM
6. ADMITS
7. FINE (Obviously completely different from FIND)
8. RECC
9. DORCS
10. PRIME
11. HELPME
12. ALARD
13. ULIARCPA
14. AMIASAD

I truly wish I was making this up. I could not tell you what a single one of those is, other than FIND and CPACOCARECURV are even about, and that's only because I just reviewed those. I don't even know what the letters in CPACOCARECURV stand for, I just know what it's a mnemonic FOR.

Keep in mind that I am still less than halfway done with this exam studying. Meaning... at this rate, I will have about 30 of these to memorize.

Here's another one for you: FML.
