    I’m very nervous about my upcoming FAR exam this Thursday. I’ve been studying for almost 2 months. I tried watching the lectures, but couldn’t because I felt they were too long and I should be practicing problems instead. So, I used the wiley text and ninja notes. I’ve completed some problems from the textbook, wiley testbank and cpareviewforfree. I made notes of everything I got wrong or didn’t understand– now I have a binder full of notes. I feel there is so much information. See my wiley testbank practice breakdown:

    Current Progress

    Score : 90%

    Attempted : 59%

    Total Sessions : 286

    Total Time : 3:18:18:24

    Practice Questions :

    902 Answered | 815 Correct | 607 Remaining

    Simulations :

    I want to understand what I’m doing versus rushing through the questions.

    Anyone ever passed without seeing all the questions or a similar experience.

    A - 2/2/15 - 76: PASSED
    B - 7/20/15 - 74, 73
    R - 7/24/15 - patiently waiting for 8/25 score release
    F - sometime in October

    Thanks for the tips!

    I thought I was okay– out of panic mode, but I guess I'm still in panic mode lol Doing an all-night study session.

    Doing examples from a Becker text and a not-for-profit book I received from the library. Whatever way helps to make the info sticks , I'm with it.

    I was most successful when I would do 500+ MCQs in my final 4-5 days. Rep it out. Also on test day, I did a warm up of 10-20 questions before heading to the exam. Wanted to get my head in the game…usually it takes me a few minutes to get my brain engaged so I liked to do that before the exam time starts ticking.
