For those who have used Becker to prepare for the FAR exam, do you have any tips for the week leading up to the exam? I have always drilled MCQs for the other 3 exams, but I am not sure if this is appropriate for this specific exam.

Anybody who has an opinion for final review with Becker, please share!

I didn't use Final Review because I found the main Becker program, plus NINJA Audio and MCQ to be enough.

MCQs are VERY important for FAR, but I think it's equally important to know and practice journal entries. What really helped me was to write out journal entries on index cards as I went through the MCQs. This will be invaluable on the Sims, as well. If you're down to your last week of study time, that's what I would be doing.

I used the Final review and found it unnecessary. My employer paid for it so I used it but I would have passed without it.

Keep plugging away at those MCQ's and read the chapters one more time before you take the test. You'll be glad you did.

FAR 04/11/2016 - 84
AUD 05/12/2016 - 79

Practice JE's! It saved me on the SIMS portion and a few of the MCQ's.

So becker final review is not worth it?

@n123: I got the final review and found it helpful. But I only used ninja to study. I got Becker few years ago and was overwhelmed. I used it as a supplemental to ninja and my old Becker books (not much changed).
I had hoped for more questions. But I find it helpful in my last few days. I test July 3.

How long does it take to complete the becker final review? Did you do the in-person or the online version?

Also how long does it take to review all of the final review? I seen the packets and its, huge. Seems very detailed.
