Hello everyone,
I am a 8 days away from my FAR CPA exam as of today and I am feeling burned out. Should I take today off from studying and unwind a little?
I Have been doing around 130 to 150+ MCQs and 8-10 TBS every day followed by skimming through theory. Two weeks back, I finished working my Becker MCQs and TBSs (have read through the entire textbook 3 times now), also the entire Wiley testbank (of which I got 88% right in 1st attempt). I have finished the following mock exams in the same order:
Wiley Practice exam 1: 77
Becker Sim exam 1: 85
Becker Sim exam 2: 91
Also, during my sim exams, I have observed that I have taken about of 10-20 mins more than the recommended 1 hour and 30 mins for the 2 MCQ sections. I don’t know if I am doing right by taking break today. I plan to keep hammering MCQs and TBSs and also give Becker sim exam 3 and Wiley practice exam 2 till Sunday and take it easy on Monday before my exam on Tuesday.
Thank you.

It's official, I passed with a score of 90.. Phew! Wild ride.. any suggestion preparing for AUD, friends? My thinking is if my strategy worked for FAR, it should work for the rest as well.. please let me know what you all think..

Congrats on the pass.
FAR gives you a good basis for AUD. I sat for FAR and then crammed for Audit in 3 weeks by watching all the videos and jumping straight away into the MCQs.
Did 1000 MCQs in 2 weeks, and then scored an 88.

I'd try to up your timeline a bit to knock out AUD before busy season starts, if you work in tax.

If you have to travel a great deal for your exam, then it doesn't make much sense to rush, so please disregard if you have extra expense.

What an awful situation. I was hoping you passed. A 90 is incredible! Congrats!

Congrats! These are nearly Elijah Watt grades! And you did it super fast! Being a UWorld Roger CPA Review student I can tell you that his course is the way to go if you want to move along super fast! I'm also all done now. Great feeling!

Hang in there. It's tough but you'll make it. I used Roger from UWorld for all exam sections. Roger always said that if you study you will pass! I passed my final exam (BEC) a few short months ago!! YAY!!
