    Like my above passer aogreen, I passed the test using Roger CPA review. First testlet was ok. There were some questions that I flagged (around 6) that I absolutely did not know. The second testlet did not seem to change at all. This is when I went into “f-it mode” and began my “know it, answer it. Don't know it, flag and come back” method. The third testlet definetly kicked up a notch to the difficult questions. Questions went to about 6 sentences in length.

    Simulations were my bread and butter. I never practiced them on the test prep except for cash flows which may or may not have popped up on the exam. I was able to work my way through most of them with realitive ease. did the research first which wasn't as clear as I thought those type of questions would be in the prep. Then I hovered over questions to see what I was comfortable with and the opposite and answered them in that order. I came into the sims with about 1:30 left and I did not finish the last sim.

    My advice for anyone studying for the exam is to try your best and keep chugging no matter how much some topics suck. I am a masters of accounting student who graduated summa cum laude in undergrad and I still struggled with self doubt when I would get hung up. The other important thing I would like to stress is to give yourself enough time to go back every week or so to review everything you did in the past. I screwed up here and ended out rescheduling twice. The last week I gave myself three full days to hit multiple practice exams (minus the sims). And I'll tell you, the results were never greater than 75. Don't give up!!!!

    I sat for FAR after three weeks and 235 hours of study time using Roger, Ninja Notes, and Ninja MCQ. First time experiencing a test that crushes a person's spirit. I was close to walking out after the second testlet. After the exam, I knew I had failed and it completely destroyed me for three days. Received my score and to my utter surprise, I passed with an 83. Still, have zero ideas how I pulled an 83 but I am so happy to have my confidence restored.

    Hello everyone, all happy ones!
    Just found out i passed my FAR. First try and I feel supper happy. I've studied for 5 weeks using Roger and NINJA mcq. After exam i felt like i failed. So I jumped into studying REG so i could pass at least one exam during this summer.
    During exam i was going crazy, questions seemed to be too hard right from the beginning. I ran out of time and wasn't able to answer the research question. Still got 84 and have no clue how i managed that.
    Good luck to everyone! I have one more to go.
