Hi everyone,

I have passed 3 exams and FAR is my last one. I literally have not even got past the 1st Chapter (F1) – using Becker, and my NTS is expiring this Friday in which I have FAR scheduled.

I planned FAR way ahead of time, a couple months ago and just got my passing score for BEC the last testing window so hence no studying or much done for FAR.

Since I have nothing to lose as my NTS is already paid for and my exam is already set, do you guys recommend I just go in the test center and just take it? I know I am already going to fail, so I plan on just taking it to get a feel for FAR and you never know, I might get lucky and get that 75 lol.

Does this sound crazy?

Thanks.

@mla1169–OMG, thank you so much!! I didn't recognize I said too much!!! i really appreciate your great help!!

Actually, except for FAR on 26th, I took all my tests in Burlington also. 🙂 Maybe we have already met each other around there haha!! 🙂

You really did a great job! Do you mind share some experience with me? Like I said, three times 73 on AUD, will rematch on 15th Judy; First try on FAR, not ready, planning to retake in August. My credit will expire by end of 2013. I really need some tips to finish AUD and FAR…:(

Thanks!!!!

@neika822–Thank you so much for the tips on AUD. The reason I didn't get Becker is because it is very expensive and my company will not reimburse it for me…:( I have Ninja but I am not sure if I should have that 10 point combo since I am so close? Thanks!!

AUD was a beast for me! After I failed the 2nd time I was so very angry that I was at CVS at 4:30am buying note cards and highlighter pens. I bought the ninja notes and rewrote them 10 pages/day (typed, not handwritten) and did 50-100 mcq's per day. It was agony but well worth it! You can do this 🙂

@mla1169–Thank you so much for the AUD tips! It seemed the only I can improve 2 more points is to go through Ninja again and do more MCQs…

How about FAR? Any suggestion??? Thanks!! Shan

I'm no help at all with FAR. It was my first exam and I hadn't even found this forum yet. It was completely dumb luck, all I used was cpareviewforfree, my school accounting texts and google. How I managed a pass is still a mystery I had no business getting that 75.

I'm down on the South Shore, so Burlington and Lowell are so far 🙁 Boston is the closest. Worcester I'd only go to so I could pay my sister a visit.

I'm glad, however, that Massachusetts has several options for us. Some other states only have one (or maybe even none?).

R - *77*(02/'13)-Becker & NINJA
A - 71('11); *87*(04/'13)-Becker & NINJA
F - *76*(08/'13)-Becker & NINJA - "server upgrade" survivor
B - 60('11); *82*(10/'13) -Becker & NINA

DONE, DONE, AND DONE.
