    I read through the Trending VS Actual thread here on another71 and im starting to get nervous.

    a 61 trending doesnt seem like im going to pass

    Is my trending score lower because im still selecting “only new questions”???

    I am about 50% thorugh the adaptive learning phase and i finished Becker program

    I could have started this thread; my test date is 3/10 and I'm working new MCQs on paper and taking notes at a rate of 50/day and another 250 to 300 MCQs on the weekends. After 19 hours, my average is in the mid-50s. I have a three day weekend coming up and I took the week of 3/6 off from work just to hammer everything home.

    While I knew my prep time would be tight, these replies lead me to believe I just might be able to pull this off. I hope you can, too, @NYaccountingstudent.

    OP, I'm with you…I can bang out an 80% in one session then turn around and get a 45% the next smh. I'm just working off the adaptive (mcq button) sessions right now.

    From the sounds of it I am sure all of you will pass. FAR Tending vs. Actual exam scores are different than any other. If I averaged this right, a 70% trending score is averaging people an 80% on actual. That's quite a spike. Just keep plugging away and we will all pass. I am trending mid 50's through 15 hours of MCQ time with 23 days left till exam day. God I would do anything to pass this sucker.

    @mecrushya I take FAR on same day as you and am trending like 57% through almost 800 MCQ's (100 are “missed last time”). I am learning as I go and reading and writing NINJA notes every single day so by the day of the exam I will have read NOTES 3x and written them 2x. Trending of 70% is a must by exam day.

    I haven't read the previous posts so if I repeat anything, I'm sorry. I think you have plenty of time to bring up your score. Just focus on learning the material throughout each MCQ. When I began studying for my retake, I was averaging around 60% (studying 4 weeks for retake). I did only new questions until I got through all the questions at least once. Then I worked on trouble questions. So with three weeks left, I was 60% or so. I focused on quality over quantity on mcqs so when I got a question wrong, I read the explanation and all the definitions and citations of things I did not 100% understand. I think this was extremely helpful for me to “get” topics that I previously didn't understand. I was averaging around 100 mcqs a day and did 4 sims for 3 or 4 days a week. By the time I sat for my exam, I was averaging 70% and trending 84 or 86%. So just take your time reading the questions and really try to learn the concepts and underlying topics of the questions instead of just the question itself. Good luck.

    @scared_cpa Seems like your re-take method worked to a T. I am currently doing 60 new and 20 “missed last time” to keep up with studying things I learned weeks ago. Would you recommend doing troubled questions instead of “missed last time” after seeing questions one time and missing them?
