It’s a long story, but I had to save the best (FAR) for last. I’ve exclusively used Gleim for the other three sections, and although quite detailed and lengthy, it works for me.

For anyone who has used Gleim for FAR (particularly the new version of Gleim, therefore post Q2), did you like it? Any tips or tricks? I’m definitely in burn-out phase; I’ll have attempted all four in six months and without so much as a week break between each section, things are bleak…

Didn't use Gleim for FAR but wish I had. I flunked it on Roger, whose textbooks I do not like and whose videos I didn't learn hardly anything from. Now I'm stuck with them…and will probably end up purchasing Ninja if I can't pass it when I re-take it in October.

It's OK that you saved the hardest for last. I personally see nothing wrong with that even if 100 other people say “bad move.” If you have Gleim, and use it exhaustively (practice questions I mean), you should pass just fine. Almost everyone I've talked to on here about Gleim's FAR has said, and I quote, “It's absolute hell, but you will go in very very prepared.”

I am convinced the only reason I finally passed FAR was because of Gleim. I used Rogers supplemented with Ninja for my two fails and like @crazyleon I didn't like Rogers and felt stuck. I switched to Gleim and used Ninja as a supplement for my third attempt. I can't comment about the new content because THANKFULLY I passed before the change, but at least for me I found the content in Gleim to be waaaaay more intense than Rogers- it really got into the minute details- which for me I needed. Its not for everyone and yes it is easy to get burned out and very frustrated using Gleim for FAR- there were days I was reduced to tears, however, by the time I got to Ninja for review I was kicking A$$ and come exam day I felt beyond well prepared. Good Luck!

and they ask me why I drink...

FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
BEC- 8/11
AUD- 9/2

I used Gleim for FAR, which was my first exam. I can tell you that if you out in the work you will definitely pass. However, Gleim might be a bit overkill because it breaks everything into 20 Chapters. I felt very comfortable during the exam as nothing caught me off guard but it took me a while to get through the material. Hope this helps!
