Hey,

I need some advice 🙁

I havent been able to pass FAR using becker (this is my 3rd time). I used wiley to supplement, but I basically skipped around random questions I did not do all of them. I scored a 72.

What would you guys recommend for me to do?

I thought about yaegar cram maybe vs yaegar homestudy, but I dont know 🙁

I also have bought Jeff’s notes thought maybe about buying the audio, but im not sure 🙁

Let me know your thoughts, thanks in advance

Before deciding what to do, I would try to figure out why you're not passing. You got a 72 which is super close, but you said you didn't do a lot of the Wiley MCQ's. So are you not passing due to lack of effort or because you're not really understanding the concepts?

If it's because you're not understanding the concepts, I would recommend Yaeger. It's not perfect by any means, but Cindy is a phenomenal teacher. The main difference between the Home Study and CRAM is that they don't go over very many MCQ's and SIMS in the CRAM and it's a lot shorter (I want to say 50 some hours of video vs. about 30).

The NINJA audio might be good, too. I've never tried them because they aren't really compatible with my learning style – I learn best by watching others work problems and you don't get the visual part with NINJA.

Good luck!

First off, don't buy any extra stuff beyond the Wiley MCQ testbank. Becker is expenssive enough, you have to trust it though, it is enough to pass if you DON'T skip anything. Shoot me an email (it's in my profile), and I may have other helpful tips for you…in the meantime, don't lose hope, FAR is totally passable.

I have one year and four attemps remaining to take FAR and become a CPA.

It seems like an enourmous anount of material. Is it stupid to try and use

A cram like Roger to study for the next two months? I just can't see having enough time to study all the far

And pass by Aug 31 using the full course. I am good with accounting and have lots of practical experience with the far topics.
