You can pass this,even being an international student! Keep positive there.
My tips: Look at how you study the best. Create a plan based on that. When I failed the last part I failed. I got mad, and created a plan and followed it through. I actually broke out the hours needed to get it done (time to read, questions and video's). I can quickly memorize the correct answer, and not actually learn the explanation, so I try to not take most questions more than 3 times prior to the final review. I also learn a lot from reading and the videos and taking notes. So, I created a plan involving more time than many spend, but it was better than taking the exam one more time. I gave my plan to my husband, family and co workers. Then they know how long I needed to study to get this passed me. No bugging me for time I don't have, and encouragement to get my studying finished!
My plan; I wanted to start from scratch. I use Roger. I read his book, took notes, watched the video, took notes and focused on what I did not understand as well from the reading. Then I read the Wiley book, do the questions from the back of the sections. Then the questions from the test bank. A long process, but I have felt like I actually did everything I could to understand the concepts and pass the exam. I will never feel completely ready to answer every question, but I can be as ready as possible with no regrets! This worked for me with BEC, and going to test in Oct for FAR. I am feeling more comfortable with the concepts than ever before.
In the forum, there are others that line up their plans.Jeff has a plan also. But you know yourself and how you study the best. develop the plan to your strengths. If you do the best by highlighting things, then stock up on highlighters.
You can do this!!
