Help guys I have my FAR exam scheduled in 21 days. I just finished the Becker book and need help on creating a review plan. A lot of stuff I learned earlier I feel I just don’t remember anymore. How should I do my final review and how much time should I spend on each Module?

Should I just focus on the big topics such as inventory, bonds, pensions, leases, government, equity method, acquisitions, EPS?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Wizard

It is perfectly normal to feel like you don't remember what you previously studied. Keep doing mcq's and sims and make sure to hit the areas that you are weaker on. The exam is a mile wide and an inch deep so I would not recommend skipping any areas. I felt like the videos that Becker had for the sims were often helpful as they would sometimes give some good advice that was not necessarily in the review material. What worked for me was that I would do the mcq's for the module, and then look over the text as it felt like for me that I would then know what material to zoom in more to help clarify or understand it better, especially my weaker areas. That is an unconventional approach, but it worked very well for me.

I would also recommend doing the AICPA practice exam as monikernc mentioned above.
