    Hi All,

    I’ve done the entire Becker program, gone to all the classes, watched all the videos, done all the MCQs and Simulations, and I’m currently finishing up the Becker Final Review Course.

    What should I spend my last days doing? Is it best to go through notes and flashcards and try to absorb as much as possible? Or drill MCQs even if they decrease my confidence?

    Thanks!!!

    I'm taking FAR on 1/3/12. So, I'm in the same boat as you. I have done Becker home study and this weekend I'll do the Becker Final Review. I'm spending 90% of my time on MCQ and simulations and using the other 10% to reread about a couple concepts that I'm having trouble with.

    B - 80 8/26/11
    A - 90 7/2/11
    R - TBD 5/?/12
    F - 84 1/3/12

    It's important to do the mcqs as much as you can. Many people find themselves having ups and downs on how they do on the practice mcqs – so it's ok if you don't seem to be doing well all the time – just keep practicing!

    Don't let them decrease your confidence! There are some practice tests/quizzes that are known for giving really hard mcqs. Some people regret doing them because it just made them feel worse and didn't really help them. You don't have to do those – there are many regular good old mcqs out there to work with.

    However – I think you should still go over flashcards and notes if you can – especially if there are areas you feel you need to review. You can quickly go over area by area and do pertaining mcqs, or just review flashcards or notes separately from doing mcqs, etc. If you feel comfortable with all the material, then maybe run through the flashcards briefly.

    You still have a few days, so although you should definitely knock out mcqs, don't ignore your notes/flashcards.

    Good luck!!!
