[CPA in the making..]

I just got a 70 in FAR.

Weaker in SIM .. stronger/comparable in other topics. Its a bit frustrating since i feel like i know the material.

any suggestions on how to study for SIM? i used Becker with the 70 i got. This time i’m gonna add NINJA, but not sure if its enough.

Note: FAR was my 1st CPA exam to take. I’m a straight +A students with 1st honors/top of my class. I’ve never failed anything in my life!

(except a driver’s license test back then which i sobbed about haha anyway..) can anyone relate? this is not easy.. im planning a retake this May and i haven’t started studying again

FAR May/17/15 - 70, 78
AUD Aug/19/15 - 80
BEC Nov/17/15 - 78
REG Feb/24/16 - 78

Becker selfstudy + NINJA 10 point combo
Patience Practice Persistence.. & You'll get there!

I CANT BELIEVE I'M OFFICIALLY DONE. *Tears of joy*

It does sound like you mostly know the material. You will still need to restudy it to keep fresh, but I think practicing every SIM you have available to you should help. Especially make sure you can do the research questions as those are practically free points. Make sure when you take your exam you leave enough time for the SIMs. I had 2 hours for the FAR sims and I used all of it. You may want to spend some extra time on the areas you only received comparable on. You may not be as strong as you think on those. It still sounds like you are close, and if you put the extra effort in, you should pass.
