0-2 on FAR…need a change. What should I do? - Page 2

Hey guys:

Just got my FAR score last night…a disappointing 71. FAR is my last section, and I didn’t quite make it this time. This is my 2nd time taking FAR; I passed the other 3 sections on the first try. I had been using 2009 Becker. I felt like I did pretty well on the MC, but saw A LOT of questions on cash flows and EPS (two of my weaker areas). I don’t feel that Becker covered these topics adequately, as I wasn’t prepared going into the exam. Whichever route I go this 3rd time around, I want to feel confident in these areas.

Third time will be a charm for FAR (hopefully), but I am thinking I need a new review course. Whether it be the 2010 Becker, or something else, I feel like I’ve maxed out my 2009 Becker materials and was growing tired of looking at the same stuff toward the end of my studying. Everything is highlighted, lectures have been watched twice, and I’ve probably memorized much of the MC questions, rather than learning from them.

Any advice on which way to go? I’ve got 2 windows left to pass FAR before I lose BEC in late February 2011, so I want to get this thing done ASAP. I want to get it done in 2010. I don’t want to have to worry about any 2011 format changes. Are the 2010 Becker materials different enough from 2009 to make it worth upgrading? Should I try a completely different review course? If so, any recommendations on which one?
