Thanks everyone for the advice! Left feeling not too bad about it but who knows if that's a good or bad sign.

@Bigstakk I didn't even read your advice until after my test but the point about knowing to put in positive or negative integers for the sims was so relevant. One of my sims I almost submitted and then realized I had put in the opposite signs it had asked for, I was so glad I caught it!

I am right there with you, have had to reschedule my test as well. If you really focus I think you can do it, hope you've had a productive Saturday!

It'll definitely get better as you go on don't worry! F3 is pretty straight forward as far as the questions go, I think since F1 and F2 are so conceptual they have to touch on other topics in order to have questions where you're actually applying that concept to something if. that makes sense?

Did you just start studying for FAR? I noticed this same thing a lot at the beginning of FAR and that was mainly because they would have MCQ's that related not just to the current unit but also units I hadn't done yet. Like adjusting entry questions that were about long term debt. It gets better as you go along but there are still some MC Q's that will just go deeper into the topic past what the lecture touched on, for those, I usually just end up googling the question to get a better explanation on it!

All this to say, you're not alone in thinking this- I was so discouraged in the beginning because I thought I was missing something but that's just how Becker is, unfortunately.

I am in the same boat, I start in October and haven't passed any yet. So I can't offer you much advice but I can say that it's going to be okay. From what I've heard many people start their full-time jobs not having any of them passed, unless it was in your offer letter that you had to have a certain number passed before you started it should be fine and I am sure that there will be other people starting with you that are in a similar situation.

All you can do now is push forward and use the tests you've taken as a learning opportunity. Your loved ones are your loved ones for a reason- they will be there no matter what your score is. Take some time to breathe if your study schedule allows it, it will help put things into perspective. These tests tend to take over our lives and while they are important to our careers, they don't define our worth in the grand scheme of things. I guarantee that those who care about you don't see you not passing as bad as you see it.

Keep your head up, you can do it!

I've got FAR on the 18th So I'm hoping to get through the last of the new material and maybe start reviewing. Aiming to do 12 hours today and tomorrow (taking breaks every hour). We can do it!

Thanks y'all for the advice!
I don't think I am going to reschedule. I'm just going to work 12-14 hours a day and hopefully get through the rest of the new material by the middle of next week and then just drill MC Q's and Sims until my test.

@Tncincy: You're completely right, obviously I had hoped I wouldn't have to take any while working but no matter what I'll have to take BEC and AUD while working. Hopefully I can still get REG done before if I don't move my FAR test. Thanks though I should be focusing on FAR only right now!

@Heather: Wow, congrats on passing BEC and REG! Especially while pregnant and with a new born and working full time! Hoping for good news for FAR! Great advice, thank you!

@Recked: I hadn't looked at it in hours but seeing it like that makes it seem like I have so much more time! Thank you! Also if you got a 93 with 10 days of review hopefully that means I can at least get a 75!
