I finally passed FAR with a 76 in IL. I'm DONE.
My journey took 6 long years. This has easily been the most difficult challenge of my nearly 30 years of life, harder than anything I've ever faced. I'll have to write a book or at the least, a blog post somewhere about this (Jeff, hit me up and I would love to share my story).
What made the first difference for me was taking this exam seriously in 2010 and going with Becker, not with some cheap alternative. The second difference for me was buying Jeff's NINJA notes, which I fully believe gave me the final boost I needed before passing FAR last year. The final thing was the NINJA audio, which I listened to on my way to the Indiana testing center, a 2 hour drive, and replayed so many other times before that.
I wouldn't wish what I had to go through on anyone, but at the same time having gone through all this I will appreciate those 3 letters so much more.
To those of you still struggling, just remember my story and never give up. To those of you who also passed, congratulations.
Peter Olinto, I'm coming for my coffee.
Starting fresh in 2010 w/Becker!
BEC: 74,80 (expired), 78 - FAR: 64, 60, 74, 68, 76 - REG: 70,60,75 - AUD: 74,78
Can't change the past but I CAN make the future.
DONE - 6/8/13. After 6 LONG YEARS.
