Hi all
I’ve put 180 hours into studying for FAR now, and enterered my review phase 5 days ago. I do 120 NINJA MCQs a day, which I generate through the “new questions” function. I did an average of 76% my first day and was up on 77% one of these days, and thought that I would see a steady increase during my review phase as I continue to review my notes and do more and more MCQs. What occured though was a steady decline in my average, and today I’m down at 70%.
I am now really panicking over this and with a week to go I am worried I will not make it. If I cancel my exam now, I will not be able to take it until early next year due to work. I am still considering cancelling it though, since I am not gonna go all the way to the U.S. to fail on an exam and with 70% it seems like I will.
Any recommendations on what I can possibly do to improve my scores the last week? It seems like everything I need to know is in my notes and I have gone over it over and over again but it just won’t stick. I know lots of this stuff, it’s just the details (like criterias for a particular accounting treatment, or the government specific accounting rules) that messes it up for me. I honestly don’t know how I would be able to learn all this in just a week.
