I first attempted to take these exams in Aug 2012. I thought my Prometric appt was for Aug 31, but it was for Aug 30, so I missed that Window. I finally sat for Aud in Dec 2012 – 60, Feb 2013 – 61, too busy the next window, then Aug 2013 – 61 – quit. Started back up, sat on Nov 2015 and passed Aud with a 78. Its been downhill ever since.

2016 has not been kind to me at all.

REG – Feb 55, May 69
BEC – May 71
FAR – Aug 52

WTF can I possibly do differently? I study all waking hours of the day and I honestly couldn’t track the hours…I’m probably one of the most active posters on this site. Bedtime is 1am for me. I study at work and I know I’m not supposed to. Why can’t I pass any of these stupid exams? I have a family and my son is getting older, I can’t keep neglecting him. I have Reg on Saturday and BEC on 9/8. I swear, If I fail both of those exams I quit. Using Gleim as my main and I’m about ready to ditch them. I left them for Ninja for early last week for my next REG attempt, but I’m not trending so well (51%). I’m frustrated as hell and would really appreciated some advice.

Thanks Ninjas

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)

@EmilyWong – you have to approach the material from the beginning to study for your next FAR exam. What materials are you using and how much time are you studying? There are materials available on this website that provide a schedule for studying. Have you reviewed/applied those to your effort?

The original poster @MTaylo24 did eventually pass. You can pass on your next try if you study correctly and learn and grasp, rather than memorize, the material.

FAR 7/25/15 76!
AUD 10/30/15 93
BEC 2/27/16 82
REG 5/23/16 88!
Ninja Book and MCQ and the forum - all the way!!!
and a little thing i like to call, time and effort!
if you want things to change, you have to do something different

57 and 60 are real low scores. What are you using to study? It took me a bit to get motivated. I was set to pass and got a 74 on REG and FAR. I had to regroup and pass. I realized why I was doing this and glad I did. Get at it and get mad. You will pass it. Study the concepts and not just the questions.

FAR - 10/3/16
BEC - 69 - 10/31/16
AUD - November 2016
REG - December 2016

Don't give up my friend. Based on your scores it seems like you need to change something in the way you study, maybe a different review course? I use Roger and I can't recommend it enough, the way he teaches the material is really intuitive and easy to understand. Also, one thing that I feel like is often overlooked is confidence. You have to feel confidence walking into that exam room, otherwise you'll struggle and second guess yourself on every question. Roger has a way to instill confidence in you and he always says “IF YOU STUDY, YOU WILL PASS”, you need to trust the process, meet the Smartpath goals and you'll be fine. Good luck!
