@audarah My first time I studied for 2 months, clearly wasn't enough. I was seriously baffled by the low score. In reality, I knew no inventory, A/R, gov't, NFP, and my sims were ridiculous, I had to do a stupid bank recon and I couldn't balance it to save my life. Didn't even know the difference between the marketable securities. I used Gleim only. It has been about 7 or 8 years since Intermediate I or II and Government, so all of this might as well been written in chinese.
My second time, I was cocky from passing REG, thought the momentum would continue, but I was sadly mistaken. I did do all of the Ninja MCQs and hit review mode, but I was only averaging about a 55, and I barely utilized Gleim, only during my final week. I did know more when I sat the second time, and I honestly didn't think the test was that bad. Again, I was seriously baffled by the 54. The score report didn't help though since I got weaker on everything (again) LOL!
My third time, I studied from December score release to March 10. Unfortunately I juggled BEC the entire window, but it actually gave me more of a push. I had to drop FAR for 3 or 4 days to focus on my BEC retake, and then I went full steam my final week leading into the exam. I did like 8,000 questions in Gleim, 2,700 in Ninja, worked all of the Gleim sims. Read every stinkin letter in text. I made sure to learn the JEs, I wasted an entire Saturday typing any JE from the Gleim book into a word doc. Two weeks before the exam, I kept a word doc open at all times and copied and pasted any wrong answer into the word doc, and then I reviewed those troubled questions my final week leading into my exam. We had a pretty good study group here last window, so that also kept me engaged. I scheduled an 8am exam and pulled an all-nighter, banging Ninja MCQs all night until it was time to go. I knew I didn't know much about pensions and leases tho going into the exam and I still think that was my downfall. Hope this helps.
