As I mentioned before I have my rematch with FAR tomorrow. I have a thought about 2 options but I want some advice from you guys. My Test is not until 12:30. The 2 options I am trying to decide between are complete opposites. Option 1: Relax tomorrow morning meaning no last minute studying. Option 2: Get there with about 4hours before I have to be there and sit in the parking lot and listen to Ninja Audio again and follow along in the ninja notes and study as I listen to Jeff.

The only thing I would think would be bad about Option 2 is that I might wear my brain out before the test…

So which option would you guys choose? The reason that I want one extreme or the other is that if I have to pick a certain area to not study saturday morning and study others because I want to study just a little bit and then the topic I chose not to study is the topic that I should have studied then I would be so mad at myself.

Again Thanks,

FAR - Attempt 1-(70)...Attempt 2 (Passed Baby)-Praise the Lord-Couldn't have done it without him.
AUD- Attempt 1-Passed!!!!!!!!! )-Praise the Lord-Couldn't have done it without him.
REG-Attempt 1-(73)...Attempt 2 (Passed Baby)-Praise the Lord-Couldn't have done it without him.
BEC-Attempt 1-(71)...Attempt 2 (Passed Baby)-Praise the Lord-Couldn't have done it without him.

I have about an hour drive to get to the prometric center and I usually get up and review the ninja notes and any extra pertinent notes that I made myself such as formulas that morning before I get on the road. Then when I get there just before I go in I review the formulas and pertinent notes again and glance over areas of ninja notes that I have flagged that I have the most trouble with. For one exam I got there several hours early and I sat in my car and read every single becker audit flashcard before the exam, HUGE MISTAKE on my part because my brain was so tired my eyes were crossed, lol.

Good Luck tomorrow.

Option 2, but 4 hours maybe a bit excessive. I would do no more than 2 hours max. You don't want to be burnt out when it comes to exam time.

If I were you, I'd choose option 2. I have the Ninja audio and I find Jeff's voice to be very soothing. I would just do what he says and try to absorb as much of it as you can.

Plus, I always ask myself what I'm really conserving energy for. It's not like I have to take another test right after FAR. You'll get to relax tomorrow night, watch TV, have a drink (whatever suits you). So I don't think you'd wear yourself out.

Everyone is different though. So if you think this might make you anxious or stress you out, do what's best for you!

Good luck tomorrow!

I think it really depends on what kind of study habits work for you. I took FAR yesterday at 5:30 and I was reviewing the book from 11 am-4:30. In school I always found it beneficial to do that so I gave it a go for FAR. I don't think I wore myself out or anything. I'm just used to studying that way. I will say I found it hard to concentrate though because I was extremely nervous. The rest of my exams are scheduled for 8 or 9 am and I'm glad cause I wouldn't want to do all that waiting again. I thought I was going to be sick!

FAR 7/5/12 83
AUD 7/20/12 86
BEC 8/6/12 74; retake 11/20/12 76
REG 11/5/12 74; retake 1/3/13 77! DONE! 🙂
