So Im finishing up F9. I should be able to finish multiple choice questions and lectures by tomorrow night! Im taking my exam on October 6th. So I have about roughly one week left. I would love to hear some tips on how to approach the final review.I am able to spend upto 10 hours per day solely on reviewing and studying! So that gives me about roughly 70 hrs to review and practice. I was thinking of going through all the mcq’s one more time and figure out what I still struggle with and reviewing those materials one more time. I will appreciate any other tips that you guys can offer. Again, Thank you so much for the support and tips

You sound like you're in good shape. I took nine days to do my final review as well. This is how I broke it up:

Day 1: F1/F2

Day 2: F3

Day 3: F4

Day 4: F5

Day 5: F6

Day 6: F7

Day 7: F8/F9

Day 8: Final exams non-stop

Day 9: Final exams non-stop

Day of the exam: A couple more final exams since it was at 4 PM, but also putting the computer down and just realizing I'd done all I could.

My reviews consisted of going back through the chapters to dive into the calculations that were covered in passing during the lectures (aka most of them). I then re-did the homework and SIMS (honestly the SIMS are something you can pass on if you are short on time–they didn't help much) and got into the final exams.

Do lots of cumulative progress quizzes along the way as you finish reviewing chapters–otherwise you might find that you get to the end and forgot the earlier chapters!

Good luck! You're in good shape.

@Jimbo : Thanks for that breaking your schedule down for me. I think Im going to plan mine in a similar way! Forget sleeping for next couple of days lol. I havent practiced much of the Sims. Im just going to make sure that I understand mcq's thoroughly and work on couple of sims but I think my focus will be on mcq's and final exams.

@Trex : Thanks mate, I hope Im on the right track.

Yeah, do the MC and review your notes and any flashcards. If you understand the curriculum and the answers to your MC, you should be good to go. Remember, be intimate with the materials. There are no tricks on FAR, I think that if you study your butt off and you know your stuff, you should be in good shape to confront anything you see. Know bond calcs, pensions, govt, non-profits, consolidations, etc. cold! Don't half-ass anything, please!
