@WorkingHard
I know EXACTLY what you mean!!! I was hoping someone would bring this up, in fact I registered for this forum JUST to respond to your post because I'm going through the exact same thing.
Basically, I took Audit back in November using Becker. I had never taken an audit class or worked in audit or even knew what an audit was, but I crammed the Becker review for about 10 days and got a 78 on the test. Simple enough.
Next, I took Regulation at the end of November and I had taken indiv. and corp tax classes at my college, but never took business law. I crammed for about two weeks (maybe a little less) using Becker review, took the test and thought I got OWNED. I literally felt like I got a 50 on it, it was almost all tax, and the simulations absolutely destroyed me. Turns out I got an 85 so all was good.
Now I'm studying for Financial which I'm taking in 8 days, I'm only on lecture 3 right now using Becker and I'm kind of worried because of the vast amount of material. Financial I know more than any other topic because I took financial accounting in college from principles up to advanced, but it's still ridiculous.
Lecture two specifically...Lecture 1 was ok and I breezed through it and got all the MCQ and simulation down in just one full day of studying (did this while I was actually on vacation out of town, took one day and just went to Starbucks morning to night). Anyway, I watched lecture two while I was out of town, got back home like 3 days later to do the MCQ, and OMG it destroyed me. I spent 3 days trying to finish that matching section, I felt like such an idiot because nothing has ever taken me that long.
I'm glad to see I wasn't alone. My best advice to you is just keep doing it and read through the answers, you'll understand why you got the question wrong (usually it's stupid wording reasons that aren't your fault at all). Right now I'm working on lecture three and am about 1/4 through, it's a lot better than 2 was. Just try to get through two and hopefully the rest will be easy for both of us.
I'm hoping to be done with all four sections by the end of January, good luck to you and remember that once your done with FAR the worst is over (at least in my opinion). Good luck!
