15 days but do you have a possible escape option to move to 5/31 if needed? What is at stake if worst case you punt until the next test month? When you say MCQ – do you mean Ninja or Becker?

This is truly a question that only you can answer but I can tell you what I would do.

You have only 3 chapters left of FAR – what amounts to ratios, NFP and gov, correct? What I'd do is take the time to read those chapters to get a feel for what is covered. Then if you have Ninja MCQ and notes, hammer on those. I was not satisfied with Becker on NFP and gov questions but Ninja truly helped.

The benefit of Ninja vs. becker MCQ will be that you can see when you “turn the corner” on the questions (learning curve hockey stick). It will feel like you are getting x percent on Becker but how do you improve that, while with Ninja, if you work continuously on general MCQ and periodically touch up on problem areas, you'll know when you are nearing readiness. Don't forget TBS as well.

What amounts to 2 weeks is a tough one, but if you are dedicated and spend the time you have a chance. Ninja will give you a better idea of readiness, I feel. I “thought” I was ready with Becker. I knew I was ready with Ninja.

Please keep in mind everyone is different and you have to gauge your particular style to determine what is plausible. Wishing you the best!

@M123 thank you for the advice, i cant move it to 31, and i do have only Becker MCQ am half way through it, i dont know but basied on your words i have to get Ninja Mcqs.

Check out the screen shots and decide for yourself. They have 1700 MCQ and a lot of TBS. I did 1200 MCQ and it was a good 900 MCQ before I started to turn the corner from 50-55% to higher. I like to think that every round of Ninja MCQ is all of a study session, mock exam and gauge of where you stand all in one. I like to do rounds of 30 questions to make it broad enough to give a good overview but doable in a reasonable time frame.

Again – 15 days left is a short time to change direction but the options are there.

You seen a good portion of the material, so that's a plus. My last 15 days I made sure to do 90 Ninja MCQ questions a day, so around 1300-1400 while taking notes on every missed question. Do all the MCQ for the 3 sections you haven't seen in the next 4-5 days then you have 10 days or roughly 1000 MCQ of review. You can do it. I agree with above poster, takes a while before you turn the corner. I did about 2300 MCQ for FAR all together.

Done! 9 tests over 16 months. Failed first 3 with Becker. Passed 4 of next 6 with Ninja MCQ.
