Well, took my 3rd, yes THIRD, FAR test today… I TOTALLY FAILED! The past two times I made a 72 and 73. I’ll be lucky to get a 30 this time. And to make it worse, I felt more prepared this go round. The topics of focus on the prior two exams were similar. But this time it was like they focused on all the little one page sections that you’re told to be familiar with but not to worry much about. IT WAS BRUTAL! The multiple choice was ridiculous, and the SIMS were literally out of this world. Ugh! How the hell do you study for this thing??? It literally feels like the only way to pass is to be lucky enough to get a test that is geared toward your strengths. Is it really possible to be prepared for everything?

Its a crapshoot. There's definitely an element of luck for each exam sitting. You can see from my scores that I dropped back. I received the 73 in Dec 2012 and the 71 in Feb 2013. It was hard to take as I felt as/more prepared. I ended up taking a break from FAR altogether and sat for another exam. I felt like my mind was fatigued with that material. When I came back I restudied the whole course as if I didn't take it before, I was surprised at how much I remembered.
