    I m panic now

    I ve prepared FAR for more than 2.5 months, I m working full time, working 10 hrs a day becoz of tax season

    I constantly reviewed the chapters I had previously reviewed

    I opened my Wiley Test bank today, 180 questions cumulative chapters, I hardly remember anything!

    The IFRS rules, US GAAP

    o my, am I actually ready?

    Anyone has advice?

    It gets to a point where over-studying can be counter-productive. I spent 6 weeks studying for BEC and felt that I “peaked” between week 4 and 5. I'm going to schedule my next exam based on when I'm ready rather than as a deadline.

    BEC - 84
    AUD - 83
    FAR - 82
    REG - 81

    I'm DONE! CERTIFIED PARTY ANIMAL!

    I had similar thoughts before I took FAR, but once I started going back through examples I was able to remember. Just go through and identify areas you are struggling to remember and re-study. It should really come back to you quicker this time around.

    FAR - Feb 2012 - 86
    BEC - Apr 2012 - 85
    AUD - Apr 2012 - 89
    REG - May 2012 - 78

    For me, it's all about repetition by writing and practicing MC. I'm taking FAR tomorrow and after 9 weeks of studying, I have about 4 notebooks full of notes/formulas/useful information. I would constantly review/add anything I felt was important. Then I would condense the information into smaller notes with only the useful/relevant information.
