Hi everyone,

I finally decided to join this stte after failing 3 sections of the exam. I really just need some motivation & tips!

My first exam I took was FAR and passed, I’ve taken Audit (twice), REG and now BEC. I figured it would be a confidence boost but failed. I am so defeated right now :/ Not sure what else I can do. Not sure if I should really take my time and go through each exam again but it literally makes me sick to my stomach all the time that I still have ahead of me to study for these exams. I am almost tempted to just cram for the next 4 months and get these 3 done.

Any tips on re studying ? Clearly I am not studying correctly.

My first suggestion would be to only study for one at a time and take it until you pass it. Having to start over with new material each time is going to set you back because you have to refocus each time. My second suggestion is to get the Ninja Notes/Audio. Incorporate your own notes into the Ninja Notes and rewrite your complete set of notes at least once before the exam. Listen to the Audio as much as you possibly can. This way you get the visual of the notes and the audio as well so it helps regardless of which way you learn best. I was able to raise my AUD score 20 points just doing everything from my second suggestion. I hope this helps. Stick with it! None of your failing grades are so low that you shouldn't be encouraged to keep going. You can do this!
