I took my first FAR test on 4/2/15 and have been enjoying a couple weeks of “doing life” and spending time with my wife. My test score I see will not be posted until 5/5/15. What should I be doing in the mean time???

I feel ok with this first exam but I have no idea how I did. Should I continue to study this FAR material in case I didn’t pass or should I move on to new material for the next section?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

It depends on your study plans. If you don't pass FAR do you want to continue with FAR until you pass? If yes, then you need to wait until your score is released before you can even reapply and you might as well just enjoy the next 2 weeks. Furthermore, if you did pass (and hopefully this is the case), you don't want to waste time studying FAR when you can use your mental resources on another subject. However, if your answer to the first question is no, then you can be spending time on the next subject.

The final thing I would think about is whether or not you will be able to start studying again after such a long hiatus.

After you take the test you feel almost empty, like you should still be doing something!

Thanks for your response. I would like to stick to taking FAR until I pass it. I also have not purchased the next section's study material yet because there is a time limit of having access to that material. That is another reason for my initial question.

Also, I am still figuring out strategies of when to take the test. I knew that you cannot take the same test in the same testing quarter but I just learned that you can take different sections in the same testing quarter.

start studying the next section asap is what I would do

Sdrewelow-

Just chill. The next two weeks don't mean squat if you're sticking with FAR until you pass.

I decided that I would take each section in this order: FAR, AUD, REG, BEC. Well, I took FAR and failed! I just kept on going with my plan. FAR helps in all the other sections. However, once I am done with this rotation I have set myself on, I am going to focus on one test at a time … hopefully I will only have to tackle FAR. I am waiting for AUD (and studying REG)… this long window for test results is killing me!!!
