I am retaking FAR on Monday and so far, I have gone through my personal notes on all chapters twice, flashcards and have done around 1150 Ninja MCQ’s. I have been taking notes on the mistakes I have made and read them. However, I still have 400 MCQ’s to go before getting through the entire testbank even then I won’t have time to redo my mistakes. My Becker software has expired so the only resources I currently have access to are my notes, Becker textbook and Ninja MCQ’s. I have a really low trending score of 37% and an average score of 62%. I am feeling very discouraged. I cannot reschedule this exam because (1) I am taking it at an international testing center and (2) my BEC credit expires after next week. I am really panicking. What should I do now?

100 MCQs a day. Finish the final 400, then review and do more MCQs on your weak areas.

Keep on doing what you are doing!

MCQ MCQ MCQ!
and ONE day of intense Sims practice!

In one of Jeff's youtube videos ( <2 mins, I cannot Find it), he mentioned a strategy…
Towards the end, think of a your exam topics, and think about the topics making you go “oh man, I hope they don't test this topic” or that topic… and intensely review it until you understand it!

If you are working, see if you can take off and focus on the exam.

Good luck bruh!

As others have suggested, I'd just try to get in as much quality study time as possible. On my FAR retake, I still knew nothing about governmental and NFP accounting, but what little I did manage to learn for the test happened to be on it.

Average 62% but trending 37%? Why is that? I haven't used the Ninja software but I'd think your trending should typically go up as you are learning the material better and better (causing it to be higher than your average). So this leads me to believe there's something else going on. Are you rushing through the questions instead of taking your time to carefully understand the question and answer for each MCQ? Are you studying too much and you're burnt out? Are you not sleeping enough or something? Maybe the stress/anxiety is getting to you? You may be dooming yourself.

Thanks guys, I am trying to keep calm and do what I have been doing which is MCQ's. @Parthemis I do plan to have a day set aside to drill SIMs and review my weak areas. @Tim even I don't understand why my trending is so low compared to my average. I have been doing new questions so none of these are repeat questions. I still have 350 MCQ's more to do so I know it is taking my answered questions into consideration but still 37 as trending is a really low score and it is worrying me.

@SchruteBeet – I believe the Ninja MCQ average score is more accurate representation of how you have been doing than the average trending score…try to shoot above 75% on both average and trending after you reset the data. Your average is fine, but 37% is really low.
