    hello
    i’m kinda freaking out, i just finished studying FAR two days ago with becker material and done everything skill practice, lecture, took notes and MCQ until i got them right.
    but my mock exam score is in the 40-50% and i have 8 days left.
    i’m studying full time -btw
    should i start the becker final review material or review the becker book again?
    any advice would be appreciated
    thank you in advance.

    Is this your first time taking FAR?
    Are you taking another section in this testing window?
    What’s your progress/completion rate as far as Becker FAR (F1-F10) is concerned?

    yes it's my first time taking FAR
    I've completed 100% of F1 through F10
    and mock exam 1 40% and mock 2 50%

    Good job on finishing F1 to F10! Actually, GREAT JOB!!!
    The (overall) completion rate of Becker would not show 100% until you complete all THREE Mock Tests. You’re more likely at 80 – 90% stat after completing two MEs.

    Are you taking another section in this testing window?
    If you’re not taking any other CPA test this window, I don’t see any good reason to jump into the actual test in about a week with those poor scores for mock test. If I were in your shoes, I’d push the test date back so I could finish the final review book and practice MCQs more. Reviewing the whole book may be time consuming so I would stick to my notes and final review book only. If you’re done with your Becker, it would be great to see different materials like NINJA MCQs.

    hi
    thanks for replying
    I'm not taking another section, and there is no available seat in this window, + my nts will expire
    I guess I'm going try my luck this time.
    and I'll focus on the final review and the notes as you adviced.

    Keep checking prometric to see if anything opens up. Until then I would review 10 chapters in the next 3 days to refresh the mind since there is so much information.

    Have you started drilling MCQs? Going through the material once would only be the first step.

    I would start doing progress tests on all the previous chapters in a random order and review SIMS with an eye toward the AICPA blueprint. The progress tests will tell you what you have forgotten and I would focus on those areas in the book/your notes. In my personal opinion, using Ninja MCQ during the review phase is the best tool… If you are studying full time you might have time to jump into it!
