Hi
I was one of the many who waited forever for scores this past week. After previously passing the other 3 parts (with one set to expire in January) on the first try with high 80s/low 90s, I recently found out that I received a 74 on FAR. I don’t really have much of a financial accounting background. I never even took any courses in the subject. Unfortunately I am not entirely sure how to restart myself on this exam and it seems as though I desperately need to. Also unfortunately is the fact that my Becker courses expire in 2 weeks and, although I did 100% of the questions, because I ordered all 4 study parts at the same time over a year ago, I am not eligible for the Becker promise. Further complicating matters is the fact I am now going into busy season and then will be moving across the country in early November. So I guess I was wondering the following:
1. In light of how closely I scored and how long, for whatever reason, it took to get the scores out, should I challenge my score? I heard it usually doesn’t amount to anything but am wondering if the fact it took so long for the exam results to come out might make this a special case
2. What should I use for exam prep if I was to retake it? It seems Becker is likely out and I don’t have a ton of money. Something adaptive would be helpful as I honestly have no idea of my weak areas for the exam. Has anyone used Exammatrix?
3. How should I study for this thing? I really feel like I just don’t know where to start since I got so close to a 75 and still fell short
Thanks
