I’m taking FAR on Nov 20th. so far (no pun intended) i’ve gone through the lectures, outlined the book and done MCQs twice. Now i’ve made a list of all the becker sections I didn’t get a 75 in and am re-doing those questions. I’m having trouble keeping a postive attitude and not freaking out that i’m gonna fail when I still get questions wrong in my weaker area sections. I’m prolly averaging around 60-65% right now on the weaker area MCQs. Any advice? plus is 10 more days of review enough?

REG - 63,74,70,81!!!
FAR - 44,73, 81!!!!
AUD - 51,81!
BEC - 73,77!!

3 years later and I'm officially done. Never give up no matter what!

Good luck to you. 10-14 days is a good review timeframe.

The point of what you are doing right now is to identify those weak areas so I don't think getting 60s on topics you're already covered is that bad (as long as isn't every topic that is on the exam). Take each weak area and focus on it until you get it (or at least most of it). Reread the book if you have to, google for explanations or videos that may break the topic down in a way that is easier for you to understand, etc. I was still missing a lot of questions 10 days out from FAR, but it helped me find the areas I needed to focus on. 10 days is a lot of time to get a better understanding of your weak topics. Don't throw in the towel and don't assume that you aren't going to pass based on how you feel right now. Go into the exam with a positive attitude and bust your a$$ for the next 10 days to get yourself as prepared as possible. You can do it!
