I took FAR in July and came up short with a 69. When I studied, I had problems retaining the information as I read it so I relied primarily on MCQs and notes/research for wrong questions. I immediately scheduled the exam again for October and I am working on continuing to study for it.

My question is – I am wondering if UWorld Roger CPA Review’s Cram course might be a good investment at this time. I like his videos, and I had watched some on YouTube during round 1. One of his little songs made me laugh and it actually saved me on exam day. I have Wiley (which I don’t like and really don’t use much) and the Ninja package, but I’m thinking his videos might be helpful to get the stuff I missed last time.

Any advice on this? I appreciate any input! Thanks!

Hi! I actually used Roger Cram for FAR in addition to Ninja Audio/MCQ and I found Roger's Cram to be extremely helpful on understanding an entire process such as the Statement of Cash Flows. However, even though it's a cram course, it still takes time to get through and to truly understand (more than the actual 15 hours of the videos), so just keep that in mind.

However, with your score, I personally would do some more MCQs to zone in on the topics that I'm weakest in and then watch the cram lectures pertaining to those topics. And then whatever else you can watch, do that if you still have time before your retake.

Thanks for the feedback! I have about 5 weeks before I'm scheduled to battle it again so I was thinking I could use the cram as a review of sorts – just start from the beginning and cover it all. I think I have plenty of time to do that, plus hammer out MCQs. My goal is (obviously) to take it one more time and call it a day. 🙂

Roger FAR Cram was what helped me pass on my 5th try. I had bought his cram for AUD and BEC too, but the FAR cram is the best one so far.

I really cannot believe BEC is giving me such a hard time.

I've taken AUD 3 times now, so I was considering getting the cram for the November rematch if it helps for FAR. Just nervous to spend more money on materials, but if it helps me pass these two then it will be well worth it.
