    OK all, I just took REG and I feel pretty good about it.

    If I pass, FAR is my last hoorah.

    I’ve failed FAR three times so needless to say, anxiety is on the rise.

    I’ve got 3 weeks to go…im using becker, i worked through the questions for F1 after reviewing my notes, and am now reviewing F2.

    Tell me what the next three weeks of study needs to look like for me to get this done…please?

    FAR - 75
    AUD - 78
    BEC - 82
    REG - 77

    Our value does not come from our skills and abilities, as good as they may be; it does not come from our GPA, our job, a promotion from that job to a better job, our success on the CPA exam, or anything of the like; but our value comes from the fact that we have a Creator who loves us, cares for us, and desires to help us navigate the rough waters of this life in a way that provides security, hope, and true, everlasting joy while we anticipate the life to come, with Him.

    Did you use Becker to study for the other 3 tests? If you did, I would strongly suggest you look at some different material. I used the Ninja study notes and Wiley focus notes to supplement my Becker. Becker got very overwhelming at points and the other two would get me focused.

    Otherwise, I personally would go through all the MC and Sim's once, then just do the final review part where it randomly generates a list of questions from all the chapters. If you get the question right, read the explanation to make sure you got it right for the right reason and read the explanations for the wrong answers too. It sounds like you might have the answers memorized more than you realize and aren't retaining the concept and reasoning behind it.

    The Ninja MC are very affordable. Maybe you should use those instead of looking at the Becker MC a fourth time?

    On my second take, I made sure I did all the simulations ATLEAST once. It might not seem like it will help you that much on the exam but they help you get a feel on how to answer the simulations. After all, they're a whopping 40%!! Sometimes people think that doing endless MCQ's is the key, but they overlook the simulations. The only reason I failed the first time was because I did the Becker simulations half-heartedly. You CAN pass. Just a matter of how.

    REG- 78
    BEC- 78
    AUD- 82
