I took FAR on Sunday and I have felt unusally depressed ever since. I just can’t shake the feeling that I did awful on it. The first two times I took the test, I didn’t think I was well prepared. One was in the middle of tax season and the other time I purely went through multiple choice not paying attention to the answers. I felt like I prepared much better this time, even buying the Ninja 10-point combo. But when I took my test I felt like it was in another language. I expected it to be easier since I actually thought I studied well this time!

With an upcoming expiration, I can’t help but feel so disappointed in myself. I know I need to focus on AUD because I sit before I even get my FAR results.

It’s so hard to justify giving up all of your free time to just keep failing sometimes.

I haven't been in your shoes (yet), so take what I say with a grain of salt.

You say that it's hard to justify the time spent to keep failing. I think it's hard to come this far and think that not pushing on and finishing is justifiable! Keep up the hard work!

FAR: 89
BEC: 88
REG: 81

FAR and any exam can be beat. You are already stressed and in pain, might as well get a reward from it.

I couldnt agree with this more but like @Matt85 said, it is extremely hard to come this far. You cant give up now, look into the future and envision success. Although it can be an tough journey, eventually you will reach your goal.

Keep up the hard work.

You are all so right! I guess since giving up is not an option, we can only just try our best. I dream of the day when I can do whatever I want on the weekends and do not have to look at this material every single day!!

LOL, I was SO convinced I failed audit a 3rd time that I started restudying the day I sat for the exam. I was SO upset about the whole thing that I forgot my drivers license at Prometric and had to go BACK there to pick it up. It was awful. I would have bet my life I failed.

I got an 84.

I felt horrible the last time I took FAR. However, since I had AUD to study and sit for before score release, I pushed my fears to the back of my mind and concentrated on AUD. After sitting for that exam, I checked my score and was overjoyed to discover I passed!!!

It is possible; right now you need to study like a boss for AUD and after that you can worry about FAR again.

Good Luck 🙂
