    Right now I’m averaging around 90 MCQ a day during the week. I spend about 3 hours total for the MCQ, and then the worst part is the reviewing everything I missed, and that takes me about 30 min-1 hour per testlet depending on how many I missed. So right now I’m averaging about 5.5-6 hours just on this whole process every day. And this is all while working full time too. I feel I’m being inefficient with this process or if I should keep doing what I’m doing. How many MCQ & hours do you do every day if you’re working full time?

    90 is pretty good. If you can do 90 a day during the week and just work through your weaker areas you will give yourself a good shot at passing.

    I'm mainly just been doing random new questions so far. I plan to tackle my weaker areas once I reach the “Adaptive phase” of the MCQ.

    I was trying to do 100 MCQs a day. FAR is tough to gauge, because sometimes 10 questions can take an hour.
    I'd suggest you do testlets or quizzes of only 10 MCQs each. The faster you can get through the MCQs and onto the review stage the better.
    10 MCQs at a time will allow you to review while you still remember the question, meaning you won't have to relearn what each question is asking all over.
    Also, be sure to review both your wrong, and your correct MCQs, as each one provides something to be learned.
    Try 10 at a time and see if your speeds improve.

    I used to do 10 at a time but I was taking TOO long, since I needed to increase my speed for the exam. Now I can do about 30 in an hour because I now save the reviewing until the end of the problem set. For me, the biggest struggle I have when it comes to MCQ is how poorly worded they can be. There be times I be sitting there rereading the question 3-4 times because I have no idea what it wants me to do (albeit this is mainly on Wiley/Ninja MCQ, the real FAR MCQ in my opinion were much more straight forward). Also I'm using the NINJA MCQ exclusively right now but on mine, it mainly gives me feedback on the right answer and doesn't explain why the others are wrong (though for some of them it's obvious why they are wrong).

    Superaccounting , I also use only Ninja.
    I know what you mean about not seeing why the other explanations are wrong. So in such cases, I go to google, paste the copied “QUESTION + GAODUN.” It's a foreign website, I don't know what language it is, but it takes a few seconds before the english translation pops up.

    Anyway, that website explains why other answers are wrong.
