So should i be trying to get all of my trending averages up to a certain threshold or just keep plugging away at all questions? I am debating if i need to start focusing on specific topics or keep doing random questions. Now i do plan to put in at least 45-50 hours of study time between now and then please help.

You need to focus on your weak areas, but still do little refresher quizzes on the other areas. If you know certain parts really well do not keep doing questions on them over and over. Focus on the weak areas!!!

I am taking FAR. Should i be trying to get my trending scores around 75% for each topic?

Yes, but make sure you are taking the time to understand why you are getting stuff wrong and not just working MCQ to raise your score.

Right i am normally writing down the answer and copying the question and answer to a word doc to review it later. I try and read through the answer a few times to fully understand it.

Try do as many journal entries or T-accounts along with the MCQs. I studied with Roger and he was big on this since most answers come straight out of the J/E and that was helpful with the SIMS.

Yeah, I think the best thing to do is do them while you are doing the MCQs so it really comes together. I had a lot of J/Es in my notes so I reviewed them that way too but it was more helpful to constantly write them out when doing MCQs. There are so many J/Es but here's a list of some that I found helpful to know really well…I'm sure I'm missing some but hopefully this helps narrow some of them down: A/R with bad debt expense, warranty expense, life insurance, COGS, fixed assets, non-monetary exchanges, stocks, bonds, equity investments, consolidations, marketable securities, pensions, LT contracts, government and NFP. It takes a little longer to get questions done but not too much longer once you get the hang of them. Hope that helps.
