I am currently studying for my FAR retake. I sat for the exam originally April 5th, and since then took AUD, BEC, and REG due to the late score release. My plan right now is to go through becker module by module and redo all the MCQ’s with occasional progress tests throughout my study days. I am just trying to have a mega quick and condensed review instead of rewatching lectures. I also have NINJA and listen to the audio while I am driving and showering/getting my mornings started. Is there any tips that you all might have? I sit for this retake September 10th, which is the day before my first day at a Big 4 firm.

AUD - 76
BEC - 75
FAR - 77
REG - 81

What was your score the first time? How long have you been studying for your retake.
suggest massive amounts of MCQs to try and learn what your weak areas are, and then focus on those areas.

@recked a 63 and I know it was because of government because I got, not kidding, around 30 government MCQ's and was very weak on those my first go around. I spent my first week rehitting gov heavy to get a very good base.

BEC - 75

I suggest you try and get trough all the MCQs in Ninja. You have about 17 days before the exam and there are almost 1600 mcqs. Shoot for 100 per day and you should be good. That is the way I finally passed FAR. I would do about 20 questions at a time in order, and would sort by questions that I haven't seen before.

When I finally passed, I ended up by doing 1531 questions out of 1565 and my average score was 59%.

AUD - 64, 80 Passed on 10/09/17

BEC - 75 Passed on 12/09/17

FAR - 69, 71, 73, 83 Passed on 06/10/18

REG - 81 Passed on 09/10/17

I had a hard time with Gov also. I did that section in summary at the beginning, then I reviewed it in full at the end. I haven't gotten my score back yet, but I felt much better about it this time around

I will pass... I will Pass! I WILL PASS!!!

 

AUD - 54, 56, 76
BEC - 87, 89
FAR - 74, 79
REG - 77

I agree with Turo-go to Ninja MCQ-it will help review and flush out things you need to brush up on-then use Becker for book, concepts review, SIMS and I would do Becker progress tests in random order just to keep things fresh. Good luck-retaking FAR stinks, but you can do it!
