Losing Hope With FAR

    I am taking FAR in a week and a half and I just feel like there is 0% of me passing. Even if I add more time i don’t see myself passing.

    There are very few topics that I understand, even after re-reading the book numerous times and practicing the MCQs. Also for the simulations, I struggle a lot with those and can barely do them on my own.

    Anyone have any motivation? Is what I am feeling common?

    I’ve been studying with friends, and they seem to be doing a lot better than me. I already passed BEC, but BEC the material was very easy for me. I remember when I was reviewing for it, I knew almost everything

    It's normal to feel like that just before FAR n REG.
    Go for any mock test .

    I felt like this for BEC and for REG, now again for AUD. I passed Reg, I FAILED BEC but it was close. So you never know. Continue with your study and pay attention to weak areas. Perhaps you can pull it off at the end. Good luck!

    Your intelligence has nothing to do with your score!  It's a matter of dedication, study habit and how well you test.

    AUD- 64 (Retake 1/2)-Waiting on score

    BEC- 82 (2x)

    FAR-May 2018

    I have taken BEC and REG. Passed BEC, waiting for REG. I am not as far as you in the studying process but I have always felt anxiety about the tests, especially the learning component in the beginning weeks. Review is where I try to kick it into gear by redoing all of the MCQ and Progress tests like crazy, followed by practice exam for the last two weeks of review. Honestly, this exam has me really anxious but we can do it. Believe in the time you taken to study. You can and you will get through this. Many have done it before us, we will not be alone either.

    REMEMBER! You don't need to know everything. Focus on mastering the things you understand first and then do your best of the more complex and difficult stuff after. The worst thing would be to go to a test and forgot a simple answer that you could have known with more practice. You need a 75, not a 99. You got this!

    I HAVE a life now.

    AUD - Passed

    BEC - Passed

    FAR - Passed

    REG - Passed

    BEC: 7/31/16 (Awaiting Results)
    AUD: 9/8/16
    REG: 10/22/16
    FAR: 12/3/16

    Same – test in two weeks and feeling super discouraged. Have been studying 20 hours a week for 2 and half months and still feel 2% confident that I can pass. 🙁

    After I took FAR, I didn't think there was any way I was going to pass it. Let alone before I took it. I studied 8 weeks.

    Score release was just one week after I took my exam. I didn't quit studying then. To say I was shocked was an understatement.
