I just don’t know what to do anymore. I studied like a crazy woman and still failed again with a 65. This is my last exam and can’t pass this stupid exam. My FAR exam expires on 06/30. Do you think I should look into hiring a tutor?

What did you struggle with while taking the exam? You need to know your weaknesses to pass this exam. I had trouble with variance analysis so i looked up on YouTube and found some good questions to practice on long variance analysis questions. There's lots of cost accounting questions on YouTube if you're having issue in this area.

thanks CPAHOPE for your comment. I struggled with variances, finance and economic. I had so many variances questions this tine and spend so much time in MCQ's that at the end was short in time that I did not complete the 3 written portion.

If you did not complete the three written portions then that may be the difference right there. I would continue to review everything but really work on your weaker areas such as variances, etc. It would also probably be a good idea for you to do the practice exam for the full four hours to work on time management so that you could go in there with a plan on how long you plan to work on each testlet. Time management is important for this exam. The written portion only counts for 15%, but in a lot of ways it could be an easy way to get points. You don't need to know the answer because you will still get a lot of points for having proper structure, grammar, etc.
