HI ALL,

I am currently studying for FAR with Gleim I work FullTime , but typically study about 2-3 hours on weekday and about 5-6 hours on weekends. Gleim is 20 chapters in total and I have been studying since mid Jan. I had my test shed. for april 13th but recently moved it to april 27 because I feel like I will not accomplish all 20 chapters in that time frame. Any one else having the same issuing w/ Gleim (or any other review system ) . I been doing a chapter a week, Gleim’s chapters are very bulky and detailed. As I review each chapter I always do about 20-25 MC for each sub unit.. still feel like this is not sufficient and I will not be prepared for my april 27 test date. ( FAR IS TRULY A PAIN) Any advice is appreciated in advance. Thanks all, and good luck to all.

Best,

F

Don't get too discouraged if you are getting some questions wrong. These exam questions are tough sometimes, even if you do know the material well. That said, you are moving through it too slowly if you don't think you'll be prepared after studying for 3 1/2 months. Go through the material as quickly as possible, even if you have a less than perfect understanding of it. Do a few MC for each chapter and then move onto the next one.

Once you make it through, do sets of MCQ with a test bank like Ninja or FAR. Let your incorrect answers tell you what you need to go back and study.

Don't think a day will come when you'll feel like you're adequately prepared. I guess that happens for some, but by and large, people go into it worried because they don't know everything there is to know about it.

AUD - 95
BEC - 87
FAR - 84
REG - 90

You're killing me Smalls

Keep doing what you are doing, and also make sure you do some cumulative MCQs quizzes once a week to keep the old stuff fresh.
FAR is huge and there's no getting around it, it's just a ton of material to get through. Some are faster, some are slower, and no one ever feels ready.
If I were you I'd try to get through 2 chapters a week. The real learning is going to happen when you hammer out MCQs and fine tune your studies during your review period.
Trust the system and know you will be over prepared.
The Gleim TB analytics will help you pinpoint which areas you are weak vs strong to hone in on your trouble areas.
Your got this, just keep plugging away.
