I have been keeping up with my 2 hours in the morning, 1 hour at lunch and 1 hour after work study approach, but the size and complexity of the FAR material has really overwhelmed me with only 5 days left until test day. I took the remaining 5 days off from work and will study as much as possible in hopes of feeling remotely comfortable with all of the material so that I don’t freak out when my first question asks me the installment method.
