    NINJA Question –

    Hello all,

    I hope many people are satisfied with the recent score release.

    I received 83 for FAR which I took last month.

    I mainly used ninja MCQ, but also used Wiley test bank and focus notes for supplements.

    I spent about 100 hours on ninja mcq, including sims and practice tests.

    I did about 5000 questions, averaging about 70% (I guess trending does not really matter, in 90%s)

    Actual test was much easier than ninja, with more conceptual questions then calculation. Sim was what made me worry, but they were relatively straight forward and I did fairly good on Sims.

    I would not say I studied very efficiently, as it was my first test and I got lost track couple times.

    I probably spent about 150 hours over the last 2 months. Test was not so hard, but process of taking first test and no test experience made me anxious. At least it is over now!

    I watched becker final video once, but they were outdated video(2014) so It probably didn't help much
