Hey there! I’m about to take FAR and I’ve heard a variety of different things. Some good , some bad, and some very very ugly lol. I am studying with Becker and have been doing so for like 3 months. Any advise? How long were you studying when you took the exam?

Your input is appreciated!

I know it's late advice, but Jeff says not to study any longer than 2 months for one section, even for FAR. So make sure that you have gone back to review the subjects that you studied early on, to make sure you haven't forgotten most of it. But it's hard to know what to recommend without knowing what you've been doing. Are you using the NINJA method?

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

I have been studying for the past 2 months and also listening to the Ninja Audio. I am taking my FAR this Tuesday (it is Sunday Night and I am freaking out). I have moments where I cannot remember anything, and I am hoping it all comes back to me when I am there.

SO how did it go for you?

The biggest advice I can give is read the question when you are taking the exam. So many times I get an answer wrong because I am reading what I think I want to read, not what is actually presented to me.

Kimboroni, I've been using the Becker self study and at this point have been just doing as many multiple choice questions as I can each day. I also am looking at the lecture only to clarify what I've gotten wrong if it doesn't make sense.

Is anyone doing a bunch of Simulations or is the focus on MC?

SamdiegoCPA- thanks! That's actually really good advice as a test taking strategy. I think it's crutial to maximizing my score and often on my practices I've seen that I didn't read it properly.

Thanks! Yeah everyone is stressing governmental so I guess I'll review that heavily. Also, I think the statement of cash flows. Thanks!
