I don't have any videos– all I bought from Wiley is a 2 book set (study material in one book, and practice questions in the other) and online test bank.

My process for FAR was to read the chapter and then do a couple of questions from each little area in the chapter just to make sure I was paying attention. A couple of weeks later, I'd do a couple more questions from each area to quickly review that chapter. I did most of the practice questions in my full review period at the end. I ended up doing just over 1300 MCQs total from my book and WTB, plus all of the WTB sims.

I also listened to Ninja Audio pretty much every time I drove. I had all of the Ninja products, which at the time did not include Ninja MCQ or the book, and I ended up using everything at least a bit, but my favorite Ninja product is the Audio.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

Anybody have more details about how the test is graded. I know it gets harder or easier depending on how you do. I am just curious what the excuse is for a completely automated test to be graded for over a month?

@northern – I just told a couple of my coworkers the same thing. One suggested that it might have been the combination of NASBA trying to upload the scores at the same time a few thousand people were trying to check their scores that caused problems in the past. Without the upload factor, it might not be as big of a deal?

Regardless, looks like their IT group finally got tired of having the site crash so frequently. 🙂

I had a coworker ask me if the clock took into account daylight savings time which ends this weekend…….

@nasba with that countdown clock…you're going to have thousands of people refreshing your site at exactly the same time. #cpaexam
