@Herbieherb – Thank you, filling out the forms as we speak.
Getting my life back is great, although i keep checking this site every other day..anyway…
@midaline – Thanks. I used Gleim for all four sections. The only other study material i used were Jeff's ninja notes on FAR and REG. They are decent as they cover the major topics in a more simplified form, making certain content a little easier to understand. Everyone has a different learning style, so what worked for me may not work for you. For FAR i studied for 2 months, usually around 15-20 hours a week. 1. I read each chapter and completed the questions in the book for each section (taking detailed notes of areas that weren't sinking in) 2. After going through the book, i answered MCQ's from Gleims question bank software for each chapter, over and over again. 3. I used Jeff's ninja notes for review and re-read my notes and continued to answer MCQ's until test day.
Gleim does cover a lot of crap, try to learn the major concepts more than anything (NFP and Gov't are important), if you get stuck on one or two areas don't worry about it too much, as you will only receive one or two questions on the topic (usually, its impossible to predict what questions you will actually get on your test but from my experience this was the case).
Longest post ever (for me)
I hope it helped a little and Good Luck, you can do it.
