Hi fellow CPA hopefuls. I am looking for suggestions on how to handle the last week or so of studying.

Backstory: I failed FAR with a 74 in late November and I am retaking it on the 5th. The first time around, I only used Becker. The way that Becker guides you through FAR isn’t very helpful for me. I realize now that the lectures are pointless b/c they are just re-reading the material to you and suggesting things to highlight: NOT HELPFUL. I am now taking notes, writing out every MCQ and explanation. I am also supplementing with Ninja notes and MCQ.

I have been taking my time going through the progress tests, referring to the textbook, and writing it out as Jeff suggests (I am picking up on a lot of detail that I missed), however, in the last 5 or so days that I have, I want to change it up and do something different. Ninja MCQs only? Maybe sprinkle in a few Becker SIMS? Any suggestions on what some of you have done that have passed FAR?

Thanks in advance!

FAR- 1/5/16 PASSED
AUD- 4/18/16 PASSED
BEC- 7/21/16
REG- SEPTEMBER

My last week for FAR was sets of 30 MCQs with Sims between sets for variety. Make sure that you take detailed notes on the ones you get wrong so you understand why you got them wrong.
