Just as the question suggest: I failed FAR in 2010 with a 64. Since the “gradual” introduction of IFRS to FAR in 2011, I am worried that I may need to start from scratch and take a full 2 1/2 months for the exam such as I had when I first took the exam. I am at this time trying to Cram a review within a 1 1/12 month window. Considering the new content of the exam, maybe I should start all over again. I am scheduled to take FAR on 2/24. I am using Yaeger Cram and Gleim test prep. I work full time and put my 20 hrs. in weekly. At this point I am teetering on pushing this back until first week of April. Is there anybody out there in the same boat as I?

I am in the same boat GatorB68, I failed FAR with a 70, I pretty much crammed for a month and a half to try to squeeze it in before the exam format changed. I'm using Becker and Wiley for extra questions. What im doing is reading the text once and then doing alot of multiple choice questions. I think we should have a good base already and what I'm doing is really getting down the concepts and making sure i understand it instead of memorizing it. But i would definitely go through everything once because FAR is def. a beast and you dont want to leave anything that might be heavily tested on the MC or on the Sims. Hope this helps and I hope we both crush it.

Agreed. That 64 came from just doing practice questions via Gleim test prep alone. Hopefully I can shine this go around since I have lectures and the Wiley book to boot. There is still enough time out there in the next 22 days to finish lectures up, review notes and the IFRS reading. The last two weeks will be the test-prep Blitz!

ps: I think Phil and Cindy are great.

I failed with a 70 also but was having some health issues due to taking crestor and some anti seizure meds for my migraines (daily at that point). I've decided to restart from scratch. I've got Becker's 2011 version so that I have an opporturnity to practice final exams in the new format, the Wiley book and Jeff's ninja notes. I have also done over 300 of my own note cards and just finished typing them up. I'll spend the next couple of weeks doing all the supplemental problems in Becker, focus on those areas I have trouble with yet (other than just not reading the silly question) and will pass it on Feb 26th. On to BEC in April and I will be a cpa in 2011!
