    HI everyone,

    I take FAR in 3 days (10/22). I just took the first Becker final exam and scored a 61 on the MCQ, and probably around the same for the sims. However, I reviewed my results and I made stupid mistakes that I know I can correct by exam day if I brush up on some things. And I know a lot of people get low scores on the becker final exams, and do well on the actual exam (scored in the 60s for AUD and BEC becker finals)

    My question is: Is it worth doing the 2nd becker final exam being that I am close to my exam date? Or would it be better if I use these final days to review my notes and brush up on the material that I need to and also review what I got wrong on the first becker final?

    At this point I think I would rather use 4 hours to review my notes and look over the first final, instead of doing the second becker final. But I just want to know if any of you think otherwise. Let me know, thanks!!

    When I took BEC I did both finals. The second final is all new questions which I scored pretty bad on (low 60's compared to high 80's ). I thought it was useful to help pinpoint my weak area so I could go back & do an indepth review. You wouldn't necessarily have to do it in 1 sitting. Take testlet 1, review weak spots, take testlet then review , etc

    BEC 8.14.14 - 87!
    FAR 1.8.15 - 89!
    REG 4.15.15 - 86!
    AUD 7.2.15 - 90!

    Application submitted 8.6.15
    Licensed CPA 8.19.15
