    Looking for some suggestions! I originally had planned on taking FAR in June. I was going along with Becker and have only one chapter left (governmental part 2) when I realized that my transcripts would not be sent in time and therefore am having to push the exam back until July. I’m torn on what to do now… should I just finish up all the chapters then use the extra month to go through a cumulative review and really hit all the topics? Or delay finishing Becker and go back to what the website says I should be on this week and review from there? Sorry these may sound like dumb questions, but since FAR is the most difficult I figured I should probably seek some advice from those who have taken the exam before!

    Thanks so much!

    There is no such thing as dumb question….So, give yourself the best chance to pass. Most of my problem was finishing the materials and then go into a panic because there was not enough time to review with the exam date approaching. So finish and review is my suggestion. Nail it down while you can. 🙂

    some people may disagree, but two weeks review after you have gone through the material is not enough, especially if you aren't' studying full-time. The delay might actually be a good thing. I would just stick with your schedule and take your time with the material.

    I would finish the material and go back to any areas you aren't confident on. Becker is just a guide, you need to focus on your specific weak areas which may not align with other people's or what the review material thinks you need the most time on.


    FAR - 97 (10/12/17)
    BEC - 95 (01/15/18)
    AUD - 88 (04/06/18)
    REG - 89 (11/16/18)

    I had to push back my FAR exam date as well for things completely out of my control. As aggravating as it was at the time, turned out to be a good thing. The extra study time allowed me to hone in on my week areas, really get a good grasp of govt and I ended up passing one and done.

    Use the extra time to your advantage. Finish up Becker, hit cumulative reviews and hone in on the weaker areas.

    B - Pass 10/16

    A - Pass 5/17

    R - Pass 3/18

    F - Pass 1/18
