    Hi everyone!

    I am currently studying for my last section which is FAR (I decided to take it last, because it is the one I’d least like to have expire).

    This is the first exam I’ve taken while working full time at a Big 4 firm. I am about 3 weeks out and almost done with my materials. 2.5-3 weeks seems like sufficient time for review and is more than I gave myself for any of the other exams. The problem is, I don’t feel like I’ve retained the information very well the first time through. Any suggestions on how to make the most of my final review time? I’m trying to keep calm and remind myself that if I don’t pass this time, I still have one more shot before BEC expires…but that doesn’t seem to be motivating me. Thanks in advance! 🙂

    BEC: 84 (Becker Self-Study, WTB)
    AUD: 97 (Becker Self-Study, Ninja Audio, WTB)
    REG: 73 (CPAExcel), 85 (Becker Self-Study, Ninja Audio, WTB)
    FAR: May 5(Becker Self-Study, WTB)

    2.5-3 weeks out myself (working fulltime) and what i'm doing right now is just slamming MCQs. I think it helps me to do a mix of all topics in each practice session (10-20) questions per session and read the solution thoroughly after i've answered them. after I've spent about 1/2 of my study time for that day doing this (many 10-20 sessions of all topics), i take a look at which topics i'm weakest on and spend a focused amount of time rationing out the second half of that day nailing those sections until i'm raising my proficiency. to top it off i like to make myself answer a certain amount of questions correct in a row before moving on to the next section. i'm not at the level i need to be and i think i was picking up BEC quicker but i'm hoping by this time next week I will be nailing these. good luck!
