This is to all those who passed FAR with Ninja MCQ score’s in the 60’s.

My exam is 5/31 and my avg scores are below. I’ve taken 5 10 MCQ mini exams on specific topics and can’t seem to score higher than 70% and I am starting to get angry. I’ve decided to go back and re-read the subsections of the major topics with and average of 50% or less and then re-test on that section. My concern is I spend to much time on a subsection that may not be as critical to passing.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to best move forward?

Conceptual Framework, Standards, Standard Setti…67%

Financial Statement Accounts: Recognition, Meas…49%

Specific Transactions, Events, and Disclosures:…61%

Governmental Accounting and Reporting 63%

Not-for-Profit (Nongovernmental) Accounting and…66%

These two sections make up between 54-66% of the exam:

Financial Statement Accounts: Recognition, Meas…49%

Specific Transactions, Events, and Disclosures:…61%

I'd probably not focus so much on sub-sections as keep hitting each of those two sections until you get them higher, maybe hit that 49% section first

I'm struggling with these ones myself – trending 64% and 65%

BEC - 02/21/15 - 82
FAR - 05/29/15 - 82
AUD - 07/09/15 - 93
REG - 11/14/15 - 80

All done!!!

@mommyof3texans, I think I'd at little more relieved with those scores. Good luck on the 29th! How's your final review going? Whats your plan in terms of answering MCQ's and re-reading notes for this final week?

I've been hitting the Ninja MCQ pretty hard trying to identify my weak areas. I feel like I've been all over the place with final review. I just downloaded Becker's Final Review and may hit some of the sections there I've been struggling with like Bonds, Pensions, and Business Combinations. I still feel woefully unprepared for this exam.

BEC - 02/21/15 - 82
FAR - 05/29/15 - 82
AUD - 07/09/15 - 93
REG - 11/14/15 - 80

All done!!!

you might google some of the topics you're having trouble with to find youtube videos from other study materials. I did that when I used Becker for FAR but just wasn't able to follow bonds. I know Roger had a video at the time which helped sway me into buying more of his products. He was able to explain it differently so that I finally understood the material.

I was in the same boat as you this time last week (FAR scheduled for 5/26). This past week I've hammered the MCQs and things are finally starting to ‘click'. I found my weakest subsections from the detailed reports and then tried to do 20-30 of those questions consecutively. By seeing the same topic asked over and over in different ways, everything started to come together. My average scores are still all below 70, but my average trending scores are doing much better!
