I take FAR tomorrow. I wondering how you all prepare the day before an exam and maybe even more specifically how you prepared the day before FAR if you have taken it.

AUD- 84
FAR- 8/27
BEC- 10/24
REG- 10/2

I took the entire day off and laid in the pool with a few beers. The mind is always at it's best when it's well rested in my opinion. I took my exam in the afternoon the next day and I took the morning to read over all my notes especially IFRS vs GAAP, Gov/NFP, and my weaker areas.

FAR 8/18/2014--87
AUD 10/18/2014--78
REG 11/24/2014--76
BEC 2/28/2015--76

I did around 50 MCQs just to get some in the day before but spent the majority of the day just going through the NINJA Notes, all of the journal entries, formulas, and ratios I had written down, and the other fact nuggets I had written down while going through the NINJA MCQs. I stopped studying at a much more reasonable hour than I usually do (around 8 PM instead of 11 PM or 12 AM) and took the rest of the night before the exam off.

Write journal entries, do the bond and pensions calc questions and review your NFP/GOV sections, and do a practice exam as well.

FAR: 78*, 75
REG: 76*, 85
BEC: 79*, 76
AUD: 79*, 93

All scores expired, let's try this again.

FAR - 78*
AUD - 66, 79
REG - 73, 76
BEC - 79

I took the entire day off and went to a concert with my wife. I was supposed to take it on Monday and go to the concert on Tuesday for our anniversary, but the Prometric center's power was out on Monday and they had to reschedule me for Wednesday morning. I wouldn't recommend going to a concert the night before an exam, but I do recommend taking the day before an exam off and getting plenty of rest. Best of luck!

REG - 86
FAR - 74,
BEC - 72,
AUD -73,

I'm getting one of my teeth crowned tomorrow and I take the exam on Saturday! I don't recommend you doing the same though…

My plan for tomorrow is just light study over GOV/NFP, Pensions and a couple other trouble areas once I get home. But realistically if I don't know the material by now, I'm not going to suddenly know it.

I reccomend taking the day off. If anything, do a light study session early in the day and rest the mind for the rest of the day It really works. It's just like training for a marathon. Nobody runs the day before – you have to let the body rest.
