I’ve gone through all the chapters of FAR and studying a chapter a day for review before the test.

I know it’s good to get through as many as possible, but also looking for a realistic number. Does anyone have any suggested methods?

Here’s my current plan:
Morning: 50 practice q’s, 2 SIMS
Afternoon: 50 practice q’s, 20-30 incorrect/marked questions
Evening: 30 practice q’s

AUD - studying with Becker

BEC - 59, 73

FAR - studying with Becker

REG - studying with Becker

I think you have a good plan. But personally I would find myself getting burnt out after 80-100 MCQ in a day. I would start to get impatient, misread the question and get it wrong and get frustrated. If you find this happening then you are probably doing too many MCQ. I believe SIMs are important especially for FAR, so if anything I would suggest maybe swapping out some MCQ in favor of doing more SIMs. Personally I did about 75 SIMs in my 2-week FAR review including research SIMs. You probably don't need to do that many but at least hit a few SIMs for every chapter. Good luck.

Thanks this is really helpful – I do find myself getting burned out around the same amount of questions. I have time to study but also I'm just so tired at the end of the mcq's so thinking of switching to watching lectures when that happens.

Even though I'm studying I still find that I feel like I have too much time in my day I'm wasting if not focusing on studying since I get distracted. Really worried about not passing even though I had a good amount of time to prepare.

Switching to lectures may not be a bad idea. During my final week or two before exam, I would dedicate some time each day to simply review either my own notes or notes provided with the review course.

I do agree with water, I'd focus on more simulations too.

AUD - 84
BEC - 82
FAR - 76

What a journey! It took me 12 attempts, do not give up, keep going! Praise God!

Depends on the topic, I could probably do 100 MCQs a day for everything except FAR.
I found it very helpful to NOT do any MCQs the day before the exam.
Stick to reading your notes, or charts or practicing your mnemonics.
Rest your brain the day before the exam by avoiding MCQs.
