    B - 78!
    F - 76!!!
    R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!

    This is my 2nd attempt at the exam, I had two parts passed (failed many) and I stupidly quit, big mistake. Now I'm back and with a vengeance!

Hopefully this will bump me up.. WE WILL CONQUER THIS BEAST!!!!!!!

    @LSNYC this is my first time preparing to take an exam. I want to make sure I am ready to pass all on the first try. I have not received my notice to sit yet, but am looking at Jan. 22. I do not know what to expect when I start studying, so I do not know if that is to much time to prepare.

    #399294

    You guys inspire me.

    Following Jeff's plan to study 20 hrs. a week, I get up at 5:00AM and do non-stop MCQ's on the Wiley Test Bank. Went thru Becker and wrote my NINJA notes, and used the Thanksgiving break to record my own NINJA audios.

    My plan is to work 90 MCQ's per day, with 7 SIMs.

    FAR is my first section comming up on Jan. 11th.

    Let's gets this thing DONE!!!

    Wow some of you guys are fast, my test is on 2/27/13 and I started studying for FAR on Nov 3! My plan is to get through one chapter per 12 days, I am using Roger CPA and he has 8 chapters for FAR. If everything is on track, I should be done by 2/8/13, which gives me 2.5 weeks to do final review.

    Hi all!

    I recently took FAR on 11/9/12 and didn't pass. I have scheduled a retake for 1/12/13 and am starting to study again on 12/3/12. I am going to go back and review everything and focus on the areas that I felt I was weak on. I will admit that I slacked a little bit when studying the last time. Especially at the end because I think I got burnt out (I started studying at the beginning of July so I basically have 5 months to study which I think ended up hurting me). But not this time! I am going to be dedicated to a strict schedule and pass FAR this time! Good luck to everyone studying for and taking FAR in the near future :)!

    FAR: 65, 77!
    AUD: 72, 72, 80!
    REG: 64, 84!
    BEC: 83!
    Ethics: 98!

    Delaware CPA as of May 23, 2014 at 10:43am EST.

    I am going to wait to see if the world ends before I waste anytime studying! LOL JK

    I have begun going through my Becker book to add the notes and make my flashcards so I can just worry about paying attention during class.

    I am scheduled to take FAR on January 13th. I took this earlier in Q1 2012 and failed with 72. I am looking for some advice on my study plan for December and January? I don't feel the need to review all the lectures again – my plan is to review ninja notes and re-do the Becker MC and SIMS, while supplementing with my Becker book.

    Thoughts on my plan? Suggestions?

    I am taking January 5th, right before the busy season starts. I got 2 parts down on my first take but this test seems like a whole other beast. I am through chapter 7(Becker) and plan to hopefully be through chapter 8 by Sunday night possibly Monday night. With the following week knocking out chapter 9 & 10, which will leave me 3 1/2 to 4 weeks to go back over everything and starting looking at the NINJA notes. I really hope I can do this test in one shot, it would be nice to come out of busy season in the spring and just have BEC left.

    Here is to everyone passing!!
