Becker Question –

Should I be freaking out? I know I can focus on the areas I’m weak in, but by the time I get around to the other sections I forget everything. Advice?

Don't freak out. Take it as a learning experience. Be calm. Study what you need. Freak out when the ACTUAL scores are going to be released.

FAR - 92 02/2013
AUD - 90 05/2013
REG - 85 10/2013
BEC - 80 12/2013

I'M DONE. THANK YOU LORD!

I averaged around that in Becker, far was my first test and I got an 84. Everybody says that Becker is harder, I tend to agree with that. Since you've taken it before, you know what to focus on. Good luck!

F- 84 (1st try) studied 3.5 months
A- 96 (1st try) 5 weeks
R-
B-
Becker self study and lots of caffeine

I'm averaging about that too on the Final Review. I take the test on the 29th. I was doing better on the MCQ on the homework but I'm starting to forget a lot of the information.

When I went into my third FAR attempt my overall average was 69% on practice tests on Wiley and I got a 79% on the real test! Also if you don't have them already… Ninja notes rock! They gave me that extra boost I needed on my third FAR try and second AUD try 🙂 good luck and relax!

FAR: PASSED!! 64, 68, 79 on 2/27/13!
AUD: PASSED!! 73, 93 on 4/5/13!!!
BEC: PASSED!! 75 (phew) on 5/24/13!
REG: PASSED!!! 77 on 8/7/13 I AM DONE!!!!!

Experience: got it!
Ethics Exam: PASSED on first try (what a waste of money)

@memmy,

Particular % may or may not mean anything. Your actual test by the luck of draw may be covering areas that you have mastered.

Meanwhile, use remaining days and go over areas that were missed, question by question. But most importantly, decide for yourself the reason why particular question was missed: did not know at all, misread, miscalculated, selected wrong answer b/c was in hurry, etc. & Good luck!

Becker Class of Jan - Aug 2013: FARB DONE!!!!

I took the first practice test a week before test day . I got 65 on average. I took the second test a few days before my real test and averaged around 62. I decided not to reschedule because I just wanted to get over with.

After I took the real test, I thought I didn't do too well. However I received my score a few days ago and got 83 on FAR. So just because you scored below passing grade doesn't mean you won't pass on the actual exam. However, I do agree with SeattleAccountant that luck plays a part in your grade because You may or may not have a lot of questions based on the concepts you're comfortable with.

One thing I suggest to you is to study as much as possible 1-3 days before the exam because the stuff you learned more recently will likely stick in your head.
