@ scared_cpa – FAR was my first test I ever taken and it was a failure. Honestly, I was okay with it and this is why: I took this test as a learning experience to gauge how I should be studying, the atmosphere of the testing center, and the pressure from the test. I was really scared on the score release because I thought I received anywhere in the 50's and like you, I never received anything beloew 85 though undergrad and grad school. I had my husband open the website and tell me my score (for support just in case I broke down). I was a bit relieved that I didn’t get a 50, but took the 63 as a push to do better. The next day I created a game plan to take the test, which is the result I am waiting on at the moment. I cannot say that I passed the test because I feel like I honestly didn’t (only got one hard testlet and maybe 60% of the sims right), but the quick pick up made it better to settle the pain of failing. I knew I failed, now based on my test experience I knew what I needed to focus on. Honestly, I remember saying to my husband – stupid test, I will kick your butt next time. I promise! It felt good 🙂
I am a person that tends to need a plan. So, when I failed I developed a plan and stuck to it. Basically, I purchased the Ninja Plus (videos), rewrote the notes, and purchased Ninja MCQ. All you might need is a different approach to the material. Just remember. If you fail, you can take it again – nothing is stopping you! Also, you are not alone in a faluire. Another71 is here for you!
