I tested on 11/22/11 for FAR, the test was awful, or maybe sine it was my final one my brain was already drained. I waited the 7th until 2:30 am and there was no score yet. Woke up at 5:45 am and there it was, my final score, a 77. This is the best feeling, I am finally done. This has been a really hard year, between working fulltime and the house and my two kids, depriving them of my prescence almost every weeekend, but it was worth it. I feel great. I used Becker for all sections and all I did was read the chapters, listen to the lectures and answer as many multiple choice questions as possible. Close to the exams I looked at the sample SIMS that Becker had but not wasted too much time on them since they can be so different. I did not purchase the final exam because I did not feel I could spent that long studying continously, instead I used the progress tests as much as I could. I feel Becker was awesome, I had read many complains about it, but I thought it was fantastic. I am originally from Cuba and have not been here for may years and I am used to studying with books and all by myself. I will say I will never get used to the MCQ's, don't find them a very well reflection of people's knowledge (plus since English is not my first language they are really hard for me to notice the difference between some answers), they can be very confusing, I am more inclined towards the SIMS.
Anyways, I am so glad it is over. Good luck to all of you still waiting and never give up, it is such a great feeling of accomplishment.
