FAR was way more difficult than the other three

    Well, this is it. I took the other three in each tresting window and passed by studying for less than a month for each section. I thought the strategy I had been following would work for FAR as well. I had heard the horror stories so I did allocate about 45 days of studying for FAR. Took me about a month to finish all lectures + HW MCQs. I was averaging high 70s in all hw mcs. When I started reviewing from Ch 1 everythign was sort of blur in my mind but I didn’t freak out because that is how it was with other three. I barely finished reviewing all chapters, making last min notes, doing quizzes, and working on weaker areas in those 15 days. I didn’t get a chance to go over the final exams in becker because of lack of time. I sat for exam on Apr 19th. First testlet wasn’t bad, I knew about 90% of it without a doubt. Second testlet hit me like a lightning bolt and I had about 6 questions flagged by the time I finished it. I have the habit of flagging only the ones that I am totally clueless on. I went back to the flagged ones, almost figured out three. Not too sure about one and made a complete uneducated guess on the two left because time was running out. Third testlet got a littler easier. Not as easy as the first one, but definitely not as bad as the second so I’m guessing I must have bombed second testlet pretty badly for the third one to get easier.

    Moving on to SIMs, I had 1hr 20 min left on timer. Waltzed through the only research question with much ease.

    This wait will have the better of me, I am losing it, completely slacking, watching tv playing fifa on my ps3 and doing other unproductive things to get my mind off of nasba score release, when I should really be helping out my fiance plan our wedding. She understood me not being there for last four months because I was studying, but now I have no excuses. I am just venting so please don’t take any cheap shots on how I need to get a hold of my self. Thanks for listening.

    Waiting for the score release is messing with me too.

    I'm trying to study REG for May 30th and I'm not as motivated as I should be.

    AUD - 87
    BEC - 76
    FAR - 96
    REG - 94

    @mazel-tov: I guess thats what's making it worse. I know I'm done if this one goes well, but if I didn't pass it will make getting back into study mode so much more painful

    @latenight: I remember having to study for REG while waiting for BEC score, which ofcourse was delayed, not fun- hang in there.
