Hi guys, I take FAR this Wednesday. That leaves me with two days to wrap things up. I’ve learned from past experience and from other exam takers not to over load your self the day before the exam. That being said, Tuesday will be devoted towards reading notes, flash cards, that sort of thing. I’m wondering if tomorrow I should take a simulated exam, take a progress test, or just bang out tons of MCQs. I took a simulated exam Saturday and didn’t do too well and it killed my confidence. Should I just stick to doing lots of MCQs and really understanding right/wrong answers?! Any help or advice is appreciated!!

AUD 81 (X4) Previous scores 59, 72, 72
REG 80 (X3) Previous scores 59, 60
FAR 75 (X2) Previous score 67
BEC 79 (X2) Previous score 58

I'd do lots of MCQs. You said that your simulated exam killed your confidence so taking another one could do more harm than good. Doing MCQ, especially from your weaker areas, and making sure you understand the answers will probably give you the most bang for your buck.

Good luck peanut!!

FAR 4/1/11 - 89
AUD 4/15/11 - 85
REG 4/29/11 - 80
BEC 5/13/11 - 85

I usually focus on reading my notes and going over a select number of multiple choice questions. Don't try to get too worked up over FAR because of the volume of information. You know you prepared for it, so you should do well.
