    I started studying FAR using Becker on the first week of January. I went through all lectures and homework from F1 to F9. My Becker HW scores without repeating any question ranged between 50~65%.. Yesterday, I started using NINJA MCQs, and after about 200 MCQs, my average percentage is only about 50%!! It seems that I retained a lot of information from later chapters (Govt and Non-Profit) but forgot most of materials from other chapters..With only about two weeks left.. do I have a chance to pass? I’m not sure what to do.. should I continue solving MCQs? or go back to the Becker material and review lectures…?

    REG 86 (4/1/2014)
    BEC 77 (4/21/2014)
    FAR 75 (4/20/2015)

    I am in the same dilema except I havent touched nfp and gov.

    One week of review should be enough, the material comes back quick from what I've been told. Just keep grinding out ninja mcq, if you dont feel confident in your MCQ 5 days before the exam, focus on journal entries and simulations to overcome a weak mcq

    REG: 80
    AUD: 82

    Just continue to pound away at MCQ. It's really the best use of your time.

    Focus on areas that you are weak on and on areas you know are heavily tested. In your case, Government and NFP fit both of those. So that gives you a good starting point.

    Focus on NFP, Govt, Cashflows, Bonds and leases, inventory valuation and you will have a pretty solid base.

    Get to gvnt and NFP now; don't wait. Couldn't agree more with @Teamryan15‘s list.

    I was a week out and still had to 2 chapters, did both of those in 2 days but nonetheless, I only had 4-5 days for total review. You'll be fine, you might get an exam that fits everything you know.

    REG - 90 - 10/31/14
    FAR - 77 - 1/3/15
    AUD - 89 - 4/1/15
    BEC - ?? - 5/27/15

    You always have a “chance.” There are candidates that study for months and still fail, while others study for a week and pass. There are many factors that go into it; just put as many hours as possible in and give it your best shot!

    AUD: 87 (10/1/14)
    FAR: 82 (11/24/14)
    BEC: 79 (1/5/15)
    REG: 88 (4/09/15), 66 (2/24/15)
