   Is there anyone who failed FAR a couple of times and later passed? Could you please let me know what it is you did differently in order to increase your score? I have failed FAR twice with a 66 and a 68 and just don't know what to do differently this time around. I've studied the Becker multiple choice questions over and over and make a list of notes for the ones I get wrong and review them for the few days before the test.

   Thanks for the help!

   FAR: 66, 68, 75 PASSED
   REG: 78 PASSED
   BEC:74, 78 PASSED
   AUD: 74, 66, 75 DONE!!!

   SomedayCPA, I used Yaeger Homestudy for FAR and passed on the first try. The course consists of 14 DVDs, Wiley FAR Book and hand-outs. I went through the 14 DVDs twice (the 2nd time I used 2Xspeed). I did most MCQs in Wiley twice. I passed and was surprised since I thought the exam was super difficult...

   BEC=77, FAR=78, REG=73,74,80, AUD=70,69, 84 DONE!

   Dear Someday,

   I have been trying to pass FAR for 3 years. I tried Becker (hated it), Bisk, Exam Matrix, and now Yaeger CRAM. I got a 74 with Yaeger CRAM and not studying nearly enough multiple choice questions. I am going to pass FAR in the next window by watching the FAR CRAM at least twice and doing the MCQ's as well. The best I ever did before without Yaeger was mid-60's. Yaeger FAR CRAM is the best $275 ($280 without club 75 discount) that you will ever spend.

   Evan, what is the FAR CRAM like? Just a general overview of every topic? Did you find yourself paying attention and retaining the knowledge when you were watching/listening to the CRAM? Just trying to get an idea before I spend ANOTHER $275

   So was the FAR CRAM worth it, Evan? I have failed twice with a 73 using Yaeger & am literally willing to do anything that someone tells me will give me a freaking 75. 2 dang points. That's all I've needed since November.

   I failed FAR myself before switching to Yaeger. I used the homestudy course as well as the Cram and my score made a nice jump. I'd say the Cram is good for hitting the high points a few days before taking the exam.

   BEC - Passed, AUD - Passed, REG - Passed, FAR - Passed, CA Ethics - Passed

    The FAR CRAM is about 16 hours of the highlights of FAR, plus them giving you multiple choice questions. It was filmed in January over a Saturday and Sunday.
