Hi all,

I desperately need some advice. I am scheduled to take FAR on Thursday. However, I do not feel ready at all! I just took Becker final exam #1 and scored a 66% on the multiple choice. While I know that people usually score much higher on the actual exam (as has been my personal experience!), this is a good 10-15 points (at least) below of what I scored for the other 3 sections for their final exams. I do plan on major cramming tonight and tomorrow, but I just don’t feel comfortable with so much of the material.

My dilemma is this: Should I pay the fee (about $100) to push off my exam for 2 weeks (will have to travel about an hour and half, right now I travel 20 minutes to my testing center) or should I just take it on Thursday? I have already paid $35 to push it off by 2 days to Thursday.

If I push it off, I will get in more review time but is it worth it, since I know that I will never know all of the material perfectly? Also, I have a lot going on for the next 2 weeks after my scheduled exam, so I wouldn’t be able to focus too much on the material.

Right now I feel like how I felt before REG…not confident at all! However, I ended up getting a 90 on REG, so I’m glad I didn’t push that off! However, compared to how I felt with BEC and AUD (much, much more confident), I’m really scared.

So please, advice anyone? I need to make up my mind tonight to be within the 24 hour time limit!! What would you do if you were in my situation?

( Also, does anyone know where I can get an (up-to-date) boiled down summary of the important concepts in the book?) (less than 30 pages). Thanks!

I believe joining the club is the way to go- it's just a penny for the first month and 19.95 after that.

Good luck with FAR; your other scores are great!

Thanks anagha 🙂

Just wanted to let everyone know that I signed up for club 75 as a full member (in order to get access to the FAR study guide) and I'm so annoyed that I waited until my last exam to do so! The guide looks fantastic and the forum there is good too. You should note that it is cheaper right now to join club 75 as a full member (only $20 per month and you can cancel anytime) than to buy the study guide on its own ($40). Such a good deal!
