So FARE has been my big project. I figured I wouldn’t go on to the others until I passed FARE which I determined was the “hardest” of the exams. It took me a while but I did it. Now that I finished FARE the others don’t seem so bad.

FARE – 58, 62, 64, 68, 69, 66, 76.

Seven tries and on the sixth try I went down three percentage points. Don’t give up. I’m now one test away from the goal.

jewl-I would love for someone to ask me why it took a year to pass all my exams, or why I failed one. I promise you I'd be facing assault charges. No one knows how brutal this damm exam is except for those that have taken it. If someone wants to judge me be my guess, but I say they can go sit for the damm thing and tell me how they feel

@ Bigmones

You took the words right out of my mouth. When my neighbor told me his online MBA was MUCH harder then getting a CPA I thought your exact thoughts ….. okay well then go sit for the CPA.

getthemoneyoffmyback-First off Congratulations! Lucky for me most of my friends have said they know how hard this exam is. Most of them have told me they've heard its harder than the BAR. I can't speak for that because well I've never taken the latter. So I'm lucky in that regard, to have friends that understand the pain.

But really your neighbor should just be quiet. No one knows what anyone else goes through. Plus one person's weakness is another person's strength.

Seriously!!!How stupid can people get.I have some very negative personalities at my work.Some jealous,some bitter.I dont discuss exams but these are people who keep asking me about my exams and sometimes i feel they get some kind of pleasure when i say i failed.Almost sadistic.

Guys stay away from negative people.Forums like these bring on a lot of hope and positivity.Btw Jeff i think u r just great!!!

Hey Gina,

Well it's good to see that I'm not alone in this struggle, and my words exactly as to wishing there was a forum like this back in 03/04! My first time around I completely bombed FAR with a 48, and the others weren't so bad…50's/60's, if I remember correctly. That's the same exact reason why I'm now taking it again…6 years later, because I too thought I was a loser and didn't have what it takes. But now I'm as determined as ever to own this sumbeach…even if it kills me! 🙂

Thanks for the encouragement as we walk similar paths. Wow…SP, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Chili Peppers…those were great times. At least you're already halfway there, and good luck on the remaining two. You're gonna kick a$$!!
