I took FAR Round 2 on October 20th and while I’m praying for a pass every moment the score release pops into my head, I am doing a little precautionary research/polling in case I have to do this again…

For those of you that have had to take FAR a 3rd time and passed on the 3rd try, what was your strategy? Some details on my previous strategies are below:

Round 1: I used CPA excel but only read the text(no videos). Did all the MCQs and SIMs as I went along. My “review” started about 3 weeks before the exam and consisted of doing the progress tests until I got 80 or above on a particular section and then once I did that I did nothing but random 30 question sets. This approach had gotten me my other 3 passes on the first attempt but clearly it was not enough for FAR 🙁

Round 2: I used CPA excel to go through all the videos and took intense notes, focused on Govt and NFP (which killed me in Round 1), read Ninja notes a few times, and then switched to NINJA MCQ 100% with about a month to go. Got to the review phase with about 9 days left and did 30 question sets until exam day and also did all of the NINJA SIMs.

I just don’t know how I’d approach this if I had to do it again…

I think you're solid. Just wait until the score release. I tried to hit review phase but it was SO hard. I genuinely felt like you too when I finished the exam. I did not know how to restudy for FAR if I needed to retake it.

thanks @hasy really hope you are right that I'm good! I am going a little crazy waiting on this score. I am honestly only asking because my boss “suggested” that I put together a plan just in case the results don't come out in my favor..
