Hi Everyone,

My FAR exam is on Saturday. I’ve been skimming all the Becker chapters trying to touch up on the details I may have forgotten. I keep hearing that repetition is key but as many times as I go over the information, I keep forgetting the little details.

Does the FAR section go into great detail or does it test the significant aspects of the MANY principles?

Wish there was a magic answer to help but really your best bet is to learn as much as you can, concepts and details. Its impossible to know what questions you will get. I wouldn't worry if you don't feel 100% in some categories, there is so much info its hard to retain everything. It is good to have a grasp on the overall topics, but try and know detail also.

AUD 85 (2/12) Using Becker
FAR 81 (5/12)
BEC 79 (7/13)
REG 85 (10/1)

The thing that worked for me was to just do 100 question “simulated” exams over and over and over until you get the point where you almost have the answers memorized. This is of course, assuming you've already gone through all 9 sections (lectures and all mcq).

I'm not saying that memorizing the practice questions equals automatic success, but once you do get to that point, you probably have taken so many 100 questions quizzes that you've hammered all that data into your brain really well. And when test time comes, you will feel like you've seen those problems before.

Also review any questions you missed, why you missed it, and put emphasis on getting it right the next time.

FAR: 87
AUD: 86
BEC: 86
REG: 84! Officially Done!
