Just found out that I failed FAR with a 69…I felt so prepared that I walked out of there thinking I killed the test. At this point I don’t really know how to study the same thing for the third time. Im resitting July 9th and I am currently redoing every homework question. I’m also feeling kinda burnt and defeated. Do you guys think I should just do 100 question progress tests and the sims? Or continue making my way through all Of the homework? Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

When I did aud for the third time I bought the ninja notes, copied them 9 pages per day (typing) and did between 50-100 mcq's a day. I got through the ninja notes three times in the 30 days I reviewed and got my highest score of all.

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

Be honest with yourself and pinpoint your weak areas. It won't help you doing the same questions over and over if you're not getting anything new out of them.

I would go a Wiley Test Bank route for more questions (I found it to be very useful. Helped my confidence a lot). If you get an answer wrong, don't skip over it, find out and study intensely WHY you got the answer wrong. I am really writing this for my own benefit, as I feel like I'll be on the retake train myself (AUD). Good luck!

BEC: (4/2012) 88
AUD: (5/2012) 91
REG: (8/2012) 82
FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂

Thats a good point. No need to redo what I already know. I'll just do the 100question review tests that takes questions from all chapters for now. Does Wiley help with the simulations also? Those are the killers for me. Where can I order a Wiley book?

The wiley test bank is good. But be wary that some of the questions are left of left field. I spent 5 minutes on a ridiculously hard mcq with the weirdest explanation only to convince myself later that the questions was “stupid”. So make sure to focus on areas where you will get the most bang out of your buck and where you are weak.

Thanks. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Can I get the Wiley book anywhere online for a good price or am I better off going to the local book store?

look on amazon,

also check out this site jeff offers wiley questions software which i think is the exact same thing as the book ( maybe even mor questions) not sure about the price differences though
