Hello everyone,

Recently took FAR and figured I would share the experience as I found previous posts to be helpful and want to provide help to future test takers.

I strictly used Ninja plus AICPA/Becker Practice tests as I did with AUD. I found the becker practice tests overall way more challenging than expected. I got a 77 and 80 but truthfully if I got a 65 on each I would not have been surprised. The practice MCQs were tough but the SIMs were not too bad.

I would say the actual exam was the opposite, MCQs were much tamer and broad concepts that got slightly tougher throughout. The SIMs, however, were ROUGH. Not impossible, but required a lot of time. I wouldn’t get hung up on studying SIMs for accuracy as much as I believe it is important to see a lot of different types of examples and knowing how to work through them.

Now we wait for the Aug. 25th score date, on to REG!
