    I’ve been studying the beginning of July. At first I was scoring in the 60s on the homeworks in Becker. I’ve increased my scores to about 85-90%, however when I do progress tests I’m scoring in the 60s again. Any advice on what I should do? I feel like I keep forgetting information after I redo each chapter.

    99% of us feel that way. Three months should be enough time to study. Becker's questions are often harder than the real exam. IMO you're as ready as you can be. Good luck to you!

    Good luck Baxter in October. I've been following your story, and I must say, life has put you through a lot. Bust this FAR section out! I'll be praying for you!

    I took a progress test the day of the exam .. failed & closed my computer because there wasn't much else I could do at that point. The exam MCQ's were sooo much easier than the homework. This sims .. not so much, but if you've been studying for 3 months you should do fine. I bombed the sims but I still passed.

    PS, check this guy out – youtube: Allen Mursau .. teaches almost every topic in FAR, step-by-step.

    Good luck!

    - passed all 4 exams on my first try using Becker!

    Thank you everyone for the encouragement. I feel like the test went well, just waiting for the results now.

    I am now in the 3rd chapter of auditing and what to throw the book out of the window. The first two chapters were a breeze. I was scoring in the 80s-90s. Any advice on remembering material from chapter 3?
