I’m taking FAR on Saturday and wanted to know how you guys would go about reviewing?

I’ve taken the week off so that I could devote all my time for review, so assume about 6-8 hours per day of review.

Should I re-do all the homework questions starting with my weak areas? Or should I start with re-writing NINJA notes first and then do the homework questions? Would I even have time for a practice test?

FAR - 81
REG - 74, 87
AUD - 88
BEC - 88

Taking off from work a week before the exam is a great idea. I took one day off and I think it did help. Anyways, what worked for me is breaking down the material into sub-topics. I believe there are 13-14 topics (as outlined by Jeff's notes and WTB). A week leading into the exam, I would tackle 3-4 topics and did non stop MCQ's for those topics. Any topics I wasn't comfortable with, I spent more time. I didn't do the practice exam nor the homework (practice exam coz I was worried it'll demoralize me if I didn't do well and homework coz I could've memorized some answers). I also re-wrote ninja notes and my personal notes during the final review. You'll do great!

I also take it Saturday and I am finishing all the Ninja MCQ I haven't seen yet which is about 500 right now. Hoping to get them done by Tuesday then just doing a random assortment over and over while reading my notes for each question/answer that comes up.

AUD: 84
REG: 84
BEC: 79
FAR: 83

I almost wish my exam was this weekend. I'm taking it 8/8 because I'm going to be traveling for work until then. FAR is so much information but I think if you put in the time it'll pay off. I agree with @Cracked by not working a practice exam. It only can potentially exhaust your brain and hurt your confidence but that's just my opinion.

Good luck to y'all!
