SO I’m taking FAR on the 23rd of the month so I have about 2 weeks to go. However, I still have to study one last section before I can move on to review. I work fulltime so I probably wouldn’t be able to start review until friday at the earliest which barely gives me 10 days to review.

I’ve take FAR before so I know how much of a beast it is. I really don’t want to reschedule my test, but I’m conflicted. Should I just work my but off to review as much as I can? Or should I reschedule my exam to get another week or so in of studying?

AUD - Passed 11/2015
BEC - Passed 2/2016
FAR - Passed 5/2015
REG - October 2016 LAST ONE!!!

This test will not defeat me!

I wouldn't recommend rescheduling. You definitely need to get a very thorough review of the materials you covered because FAR is so detailed and covers so much you likely forgot some of the items you learned at the beginning of your studies. You're just going to need to make the most of those last 10 days.

FAR: 80 (Gleim, Ninja Notes, Ninja MCQs)

I also do not recommend rescheduling. I've seen too many people here who keep pushing their exam dates back, only for something else to come up and cause them to push it back again. When I was studying, I needed a hard deadline in order to stay motivated. It's not motivating if you give yourself the option to change the date (not to mention the additional fees it takes to change dates). I would say the review time needed is proportional to the range of time you've spent studying. My review phase was 5 days, but I studied over a much shorter period of time. The content specific outline from the AICPA was very helpful in prioritizing my time. Just remember you don't have to be at 100% in any topic – they can't test you over the details of everything. Look at the outline and take a big picture approach. Also, don't forget the AL! Good luck.
