I am using Becker’s. Original plan was 2 chapters a week then 2 weeks review. Would’t you know it, that life never goes as expected. I am just starting to review today. At least I have 2 full weekends before exam. Need tips for review. I am honestly just happy I was able to get through all the video and material. How well I will retain it is another question. I have answered all SIMS once, all MCQ went through twice. Was not impressed with my scores. My plan was to do progress test, review weakest area from there including SIMS. Take full practice test tomorrow and progress tests every other day (reviewing on off day) up until next weekend where I will take Final Practice Test.

It is amazing that even if with 2 degrees and passing audit I still feel sick to my stomach. It feels like FAR is equivalent of a final exam of 3 semesters worth of topics. It is crazy.

AUDIT: 88 2/12/14 (Lost Credit), 92 11/30/15

I'm taking FAR on 4/12 and I am doing quiz sets of 30 questions per topic in the WTB today and pinpoint exactly what areas I need to focus on. Then I will start with the lowest score and work on that topic until I feel comfortable and proceed to next lowest score. Hopefully by Friday I will have everything fresh in my mind and feel at least 80% comfortable with every topic. Your plan sounds great. Just don't let the progress tests demotivate you and be careful with that final test right before the exam. If you don't do well on it, you could really affect your confidence going into the test. Also, remember that most people gain at least 10 points on the actual over the Becker Final Exam scores. Good luck with your last week!

I am also in the reviewing stage; currently finshing up my 2nd round at the MCQs with half of F9 and F10 to go. I should be finished with all the MCQs at least twice by Monday.

After that I'll be taking the practice final and see how I do. From there, constantly work on progress tests, review SIMS, and focusing on journal entries.

Spartan, we have the same exam line up almost to the day! Feel free to stay in touch and vent because I will likely be feeling same pain. Are you working full time? I wake up at 4am everyday and do 2 hours after work also. The reality is just because Becker's says you will get through material in a certain amount of time, everyone learns differently and lives different circumstances. I have taken an extra couple of days per section then their schedule which has ate into my 2 week buffer big time. Good luck to you also!

I am still a student working towards my 150. I will be working at a Big 4 later this Fall so my plan is to complete all 4 exams by then *crosses fingers*.

Thank you and I wish you the best!

I recommend not studying sims at all anymore. Just do your best to understand the different topics via EXTENSIVE m/c questions and hope for the best with sims you're given on the exam.

Spartan, I am also starting at a Big 4 in the Fall. Have you already received a start date? I have been working full time and going to school 8 years. Finished up MSA in January and trying to get as much of CPA done before Fall also. Are you going to take the 4 hour final exams? I took a 100 question progress test last night and need major improvement on a few topics. Feel like I am better served reviewing key areas of failure for 4 hours vs. a Final exam but up in the air. lol will probably do both and be a complete zombie today. I hate how as soon as I read the answers on questions I get wrong it comes back to me. So much information to retain.
