    This is my last section, so you would think I’ve had a lot of motivation to hit the studies hard, but nope, that hasn’t been the case. I feel behind in my studies. Sit for it Aug 31st and have only roughly 1000 of the 1600 MCQ’s done (trending at 60% which is very generous IMO) and haven’t done any SIMS. I work full time and have CPE classes for a week Aug 17-20…I feel doomed for this first time. Only thing going for me is I have 3 total windows to pass this last exam.

    AUD (PASSED) - 56, 91
    BEC (PASSED) - 80
    REG (PASSED) - 68, 74, 77
    FAR (PASSED) - 78

    I have mine in a few weeks, but I feel behind too. I'm so strong in some areas that I have to keep from getting cocky, and in other areas I'm still humbled. No idea what is gonna happen when I take the test. But I suspect everyone lacks confidence going in. It's what happens when we all are felt like we need to know every fine detail about GAAP to stand a chance. Thankfully, that is not truly the case. Just gotta stick with it and give it your best shot on test day.

    FAR - 80

    I have only covered 300 of the 1650 multiple choice questions and also test on the 31st. I have had quite a few 60s and 70s but I feel supremely confident that I am going to punish the FAR. I am not really worried at all. Remember, you have to possess confidence so you can and will do your best. A little fire in the belly goes a long ways! 🙂 That being said prepare like a madman to give yourself the best possible shot at it. For the poster above worried about gov't and NFP don't be. You can smash through them both in a few days. They are calculation LIGHT! You do need to get the concepts down but I had not ever seen NFP and had limited exposure to government and had no problem eviscerating those sections. Compared to pension expense and other such topics they are a piece of cake!!! We can do this guys! Let's get our game on!!!!!!

    AUD - 95 (89 1st time - expired)
    BEC - 85 (1st time)
    REG - 87 (1st time)
    FAR - 82 (1st time)

    Wow @kenster773 I love the enthusiasm! I need some right too as I'm way under studied for FAR. How do you all know how many questions you are into the program? You mentioned being 300 out of 1650?

    shooot i am panicking…reviewing took way longer than i thought…i am only on chapter 5 of my review and my test is on the 14th. I took Tue-Fri this week off work so i can review all day. You guys think i have a chance? I am scoring around 81 average for chapters 1 – 4 in Becker and around 78 in NINJA for Frameworks 1, 2, 3…I havent really done alot of problems in NINJA yet as i am trying to do the progress tests for each chapter in Becker one by one for each chapter. Then last couple days before my test, i was planning to do as many MCQ's in NINJA as possible.That and rework the Becker SIMS…omg running out of time

    BEC - 76 (1/24/15)
    REG - 82 (4/13/15)
    AUD - 89 (5/31/15)
    FAR - 78 (8/16/15)

    Starting right now I'll be strong
    I'll play my fight song
    And I don't really care if nobody else believes
    'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

    i'm also taking FAR on the 31st. I just finished all the lectures this past weekend so i'm able to give myself a solid three weeks of review. unfortunately, i've hit a wall. i've lost all desire to study. why did it have to be during FAR? I need a jump charge or something. i only want to take this exam ONCE!

    REG - 82
    AUD - 83
    FAR - 84

    I just tested and ran out of time majorly. I only really got half of the Becker material well-reviewed. Needless to say, I most likely failed. Do not skimp on the Governmental and Not-for-Profit sections. In Becker, I believe these are F8 and F9. Be sure to go through those and work a good amount of MCQs as my test was probably 35% on those. I did not get to look at those two sections at all before my exam. Yeah, I am probably going to just keep studying FAR and get ready for an early October re-test date.
