Hi all,

SO I have been studying for FAR for the second time (exam coming up on Feb 2). On the old MCQ software i have a trending avg of about 83. Sounds great right? Well, now with the new MCQ Software and testbank i am averaging about 60 at most. To me it just shows that i am nowhere near ready to sit for FAR again. Frustration is kicking in big time, and my confidence just took a dent too. Should i just postpone the exam?

Thanks,

Mike

That just means you need more practice. FAR is a heavy, heavy exam and carries a bunch of material, so if you think you need to push it back, don't feel bad about it. My advise to you is to keep hammering those MCQ's and target your weaker areas. Find out why you're weak in those areas and make use of your study material to figure them out. The CPA is a piecemeal set of exams, your confidence will build back up by taking incremental steps. As you start clearing up those mistakes you'll start improving your chances of success.

My process with MCQ was as such:

1) Figure out what I'm getting wrong,
2) Go to the study material,
3) Correct it, memorize it, and repeat.

AUD - 77
BEC - 77
FAR - 75
REG - 82

This journey is a test of will.

The feeling you get when you see that last score, is like no other.
