    Alright ya’ll. I have really got to stop taking these breaks after exams. It’s just too nice…

    I was really heartbroken after I got my FAR score. I really thought I had a good chance of passing.

    Anyway – tonight I jump back onto the dreaded FAR train. Going to throw out my tons of notes and MCQ’s I did last time and just start fresh. I am not underlining or highlighting a damn thing during videos, just going to take obsessive notes. I am going to do the MCQs to my best ability and really try to learn what I did wrong.

    I am hoping this time I can grasp on a bit more quickly and retain it better. I really can’t wait to get this out of the way.

    Who’s with me?

    A 69 - 75 EXPIRED
    R 65 - 48 - 45
    F 56 - 61 - 65 - 64

    Becker, Wiley Test Bank, Wiley Text and Ninja Notes

    Experience - Done, like WAAAY done.
    Still need 30 more credits, in basket weaving (gotta love new CA requirements)

    Chugga, chugga, choo choo! All aboard the get your life back train! @jomarie, did you start studying for BEC before you got your score or are you just saving the battle for later? I would have loved to move on and set it aside but I figured I just had to strike while the iron is still hot and take it down while its still somewhat fresh. FAR, grrrr…. Good luck everyone!

    I need a ticket for the Monday departure to BEC land. Unless I get bad news on Thursday. Then it's a roundtrip back to Audit-ville. 🙁

    @Hustlin – I've been studying or BEC for a few weeks now. My NTS expires at the end of April for BEC so I really have not choice but to sit for BEC first. I have 4 windows of testing left before I start losing any credits, and I'm not missing one until I pass both FAR & BEC and be done once and for all!! 10 years and losing 3 credits is long enough for me. I want to be done once and for all!!!!

    I cant study dog dong until I get my AUD score today. This way I know if the last 8 weeks of my life will be on rewind. Not feeling good about it. I woke up this morning at 7:44, so of course I interpreted that as a 74. If I could have slept one more minute

    Reg 11/15/2011 - 80
    Aud 02/28/2012 - 81
    Bec 05/31/2012 - 78

    I'm jumping on the FAR re-re-study train. I bought the Roger CRAM to supplement with my Becker Final Review. It's been helpful at clearing up some of the topics Becker didn't do a very good job of explaining. I should be done with watching the CRAM and taking notes by Friday. This weekend I plan to watch the Becker Final Review and take any additional notes. Then I'm off to memorizing/copying the NINJA Notes. I haven't put them to good use my past two attempts and everyone swears by them so, I'll try my best to stick with them this time. There has to be two points of knowledge hiding somewhere in all that information. After a week of studying like a NINJA I plan to work all Becker Final Review problems and Wiley test bank problems until I've got this stuff down. Then its off to pass my exam on April 7th. I've got it this time! I'll be about a week into my new job when I get results. What an exciting thing to tell my boss 🙂 All prayers are welcome please!
