I’ve been studying for FAR for all of February (and I did find out i passed AUD!), and frankly it isn’t going swimmingly, but i’m not drowning yet.

I have 4 weeks until April 1 test date, I would consider moving it back 1 week, but that is it as I’ll need time for BEC May 30.

Wife is pregnant and going into a small bout of depression which really brings the house to a crawl (lasts for a couple weeks), and my study time at home usually goes poof as I’m trying to help with the kiddo and not be totally wiped out.

Basically I have 1588 Questions Not Yet Answered Correctly and 191 TBSs Not Yet Answered Correctly left, should I just go into crazy MCQ and TBS mode for the next 4 weeks and take furious notes as I go? It worked for AUD (barely), but I want to have a better shot than I did at AUD or my previous attempt at FAR. I “understand” the very basic concepts, meaning I feel that spending my 4 weeks re-watching videos wouldn’t be effective, but being careful to see what areas are missing while doing questions likely would.

Is this the best approach?

REG- (1) 76
FAR- (2) 64, (5)74, (7)83 (Over achiever!)
AUD- (3) 70, (4) 75
BEC- (6) 75

Sorry to hear your wife is having a hard time right now. Dont forgrt she and your kids are first priority.

Your plan sounds like a good idea. Also maybe get the audio and listen when youre too tired to kerp your eyes open. If you read to your little one at night, a few weeks of being read to out of wiley or becker wont cause too much damage!

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

@tomq04, Ninja audio is definitely great if you want to play with the kids and study and/or put on a movie for them and sneak in some study time…

Do nonstop MCQs with notes for the next four weeks and review your reading material on the topics that are giving you trouble. Also review the AICPA release questions for FAR…

Florida:
AUD: 73, 81! Thank you Lord!
BEC: 73, 77! Thank you Lord! and WTB
REG: 71, 82! Thank you Lord! and A71
FAR: 72, 78! Thank you God and my Mommy in Heaven!
