I’ve been trending in the 80s. Did 2 practice exams and got around a 72 both times. Avg score is 60s mostly because of how much I got wrong when first doing them. I’ve been reading JEs and ninja notes all day!

Still freaking out because this is my first test and I have no idea how I’ll do. As much as I think I’m prepared I don’t know if I’m prepared for FAR.

Can’t anyone relate? How should I approach these last few days?

FAR- 5/11/15 76!!
AUD-10/31/15 63, 84!
REG-7/12/16 72
BEC-8/31/15 75!! Perfect Score!

I think you are doing great. Have faith in yourself that you can do this. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine. Do as many MCQs as possible especially in your weak areas, review notes and practice J/Es as much as possible. Good luck with everything. Please report back and let us know how you did.

FAR - (11/01/14) 71 (02/07/15) 79

REG - (11/30/15) 55 (05/19/16) 74

Thanks! I didn't want to have false hope. I'm going to do a final review practice test today, review ninja notes and do some more mcqs

Just kidding. Don't stress yourself out too much and make sure to get plenty of rest the day (and night) before the exam. You should also plan something relaxing for right after the test. Go catch a movie or play a round of golf to decompress.

And don't fall into the trap of waiting on your score and not studying any new material. Start studying for your next section as soon as your brain is no longer mush.

Thanks man, I'm definitely going to tone it down. Just got a 66 on another ninja practice exam. Although those just add up the scores and divide them by ten

Sounds like you're doing really well! You know yourself best, but I would always take at the least the day before the exam off. I'd just stress myself out reviewing and finding out all the areas where I wasn't 100% on and it would psych me out exam day.

On the other hand, my roommate needed to cram and pull all nighters right before the exam because otherwise she'd freak out that she didn't do all she could.

One method isn't better than the other, it just depends on what kind of person you are. You probably learned what works best for you in college, so I'd go with that. And since you're a few days out still, spend some time lightly reviewing the areas that still gave you trouble in practice tests and that you think you can get down in time for test day.

Good luck!

I might just look over some mnemonics and journal entries. Very nervous about test day
