    Hey so I’m soon going to be approaching my last two weeks of studying before I take FAR. By that point, I will have gone through all the chapters in Becker. I’ve consistently been watching the lectures, doing multiple choice, making notes of the MC I get wrong, and doing most of the sims (not all).

    How would you guys recommend I manage my last two weeks? I already bought Becker Review, Becker flashcards, Ninja Audio and have access to Wiley Test Bank.

    FAR 7/3/13 - 82
    BEC 8/21/13 - 82
    AUD 10/2/13 - 92
    REG 12/3/13 - 88

    DONE!!!! CA Candidate
    Beat the 12/31/13 clock!

    I am in a very similar boat as you. FAR July 1st and I have the becker materials. Any reccomendations on this would be great from people! My plan so far is to write out a great deal of notes, basically go through the Becker chapters and write out the important parts, take/redo a bunch of SIMs, and do as many MCQ as possible. Best of luck Sarita!

    FAR 66 (07/01/13), 75! (10/01/13)
    AUD 64 (08/12/13), 80! (11/23/13)
    BEC 84! (05/22/14)
    REG 77! (08/28/14)
    DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I save two weeks of review time for every section using becker. I skim over the entire book (only high highlighted) and rework hws that I did bad in. Then its progress questions all day till the exam.

    B - 85 (4/2013)
    A - 97 (5/2013)
    F - 83 (7/2013)
    R - 8/2013

    GL to you too, Freyer002!

    Still trying to figure out what to do. With Becker, I'm trying to keep track of the topics that I had trouble with and I've “marked” most of the MC that tripped me up over the last few weeks. So I'll definitely go over those… and then a few practice tests and as many multiple choice questions as possible from Becker and Wiley. Somehow stick in Becker review in there and hopefully get to the flashcards — though I think I might ran out of time. Also, listening to NINJA audio whenever I'm in the car.

    Wish I could take the Exam a little later.. since I need to take all the parts by November, I'm really rushing through studying. I'm moving on from chapters even though I'm not 100% on them. If I had all the time in the world, I really wouldn't be taking FAR just yet.

    FAR 7/3/13 - 82
    BEC 8/21/13 - 82
    AUD 10/2/13 - 92
    REG 12/3/13 - 88

    The review weeks are the most important, IMHO.

    I re-read the chapters, reworked the multiple choice questions and simulations. As I progressed through the chapters I would do progress tests (ie: read chapters 1+2, do progress test on those two chapters; after reading chapter 3, I would do progress test of 1+2+3 and so on).

    FAR (5/07/13): 96
