    For those who have used Becker to prepare for the FAR exam, do you have any tips for the week leading up to the exam? I have always drilled MCQs for the other 3 exams, but I am not sure if this is appropriate for this specific exam.

    Anybody who has an opinion for final review with Becker, please share!

    Don't worry; be happy.

    I didn't use Final Review because I found the main Becker program, plus NINJA Audio and MCQ to be enough.

    MCQs are VERY important for FAR, but I think it's equally important to know and practice journal entries. What really helped me was to write out journal entries on index cards as I went through the MCQs. This will be invaluable on the Sims, as well. If you're down to your last week of study time, that's what I would be doing.

    I used the Final review and found it unnecessary. My employer paid for it so I used it but I would have passed without it.

    Keep plugging away at those MCQ's and read the chapters one more time before you take the test. You'll be glad you did.

    Practice JE's! It saved me on the SIMS portion and a few of the MCQ's.

    @n123: I got the final review and found it helpful. But I only used ninja to study. I got Becker few years ago and was overwhelmed. I used it as a supplemental to ninja and my old Becker books (not much changed).
    I had hoped for more questions. But I find it helpful in my last few days. I test July 3.

    How long does it take to complete the becker final review? Did you do the in-person or the online version?

    Also how long does it take to review all of the final review? I seen the packets and its, huge. Seems very detailed.
