Hi all,
I failed the FAR exam once back in August and after I didn’t study for 3 months for a personal matter. Now I am back to study. It is embarrassing to say but my score was 58 and I admit that I did not digest all the materials before taking the exam and I was consider that my first attempt is just an experience. (i didn’t solave any MCQs and just took the lectures thats all) However, now I am studying really serious but my MCQ scores never get better. I am taking Rogers CPA courses and people on the forum says that Roger’s MCQs are really easy (everybody seems like getting at least 95% across the chapters but I could only get avg of 67%..
What is wrong with me.. I am so stupid… arrrrr )Now I’ve started to print out all the quizzes i ve got wrong and try to go over the materials again but nothing gets my score better.
I have a full time job in an accounting firm and when I get home it is already 6pm. I am only doing taxes at my work so FAR seems more difficult to me. I barely have 3 hours to study per day even less. I scheduled my exam on Jan 9, 2016 and I have to pass this time. My firm gives me huge pressure for passing the every exam by summer… shoot….
It took me 2 hours to finish one chapter of lectures and took like 1h30mins to solve 30 MCQs along with reading the answer keys.. It is normal? I know people here say that they take 100 MCQs per day. For me it would take me 5 hours for solving and reading the answer key which never be possible to do everything every day.
Could you please give me some advice? I don’t know how to even review all the chapters i have studied like one wk ago. Should I keep reading the textbook or should i just go over the questions I have got wrong. I am totally lost and pathetic.. so sad nowadays…..
Please help me out!!!!

Thank you all in advance.

Regards,
J

Just keep going bro. I didn't feel comfortable going into any tests.Maybe switch up the routine, ditch the videos just read, google, and do MCQs until your eyes bleed.

2-3hours a day during the week is fine, and try to get more hours over the weekend. I was able to fit it in with a full time job,a weekend job and grad school simultaneously.

Hey DZ,

Thank you for the response!!!
Is it normal thing that I have got avg 67% on Rogers CPA MCQs? I am so nervous and can't even eat or sleep !!!!:(
How did you get 83% on FAR Damn!!!! Maybe I should change my routine as you mentioned.

Thank you !

To pass FAR I did all 1700+ of Roger's MCQ, then moved onto Ninja and did 3000+ more. Don't fool yourself that you're learning it just because you see a question for the 2nd or 3rd time. Get fresh MCQ. Ninja is great cause there are so many.

Too many people on this website rely on their trending score for confidence and are likely to get wrecked on test day if they do that. Do problem sets of 100 for mental endurance on Ninja and when you have 4-5 of them in a row 80%+ you are most likely ready.

BEC: 85
REG: 74, 78
AUD: 86
FAR: October?
