Trying to be positive here, but I have totally underestimated this part. In reviewing my MC’s, it seems as though I have never seen them before. A total wreck right now.

Just calm down and focus. I feel you. I passed the first three sections with minimal studying. I knew FAR was the big one, but the book didn't seem that much bigger. Last go round, it caught me and I got a 73. I was so close, but so far away. I should be a basket-case right now, but I actually feel I understand the material on this go round better than any time before on any section. I am a lot stronger on some sections than others, but overall I see the material all flowing together much better than last time. I tend to score about 5 points higher than what I was getting on my practice exams, so I'm hoping my 70s translate. Here is to a 75 coming through the 21/22, then moving on with my new job!!

BEC - 77
AUD - 83
REG - 76

That's what I thought about FAR studying for it…the exam was no different. Anyway, I had similar experience during my review and felt overwhelmed. I was so nervous and unsure of my answers during the test that I left feeling sick to my stomach, especially since I only completed 5 sims with uncertainty. Surprisingly, I passed. You “can do this”.

Pray. I prayed a lot. Good luck.

F - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
B - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
A - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
R - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.

I just took the FAR exam this week and I feel pretty confident I passed but I won't say I did until I see that score.

And I just took it today and think I failed… horribly… again…

But, you're better than that since you started reviewing everything early enough! You got this!!!

I took FAR back in July and felt totally unprepared for it and still made a 90 on it. The biggest piece of advice that I can give you besides be calm and don't stress yourself out (which is spectacular advice) is to focus on how things fit into the theoretical framework. That way when you run into something that you may not remember or understand you can fall back onto the theory.

B- 8/13/2012- 92
A- 7/19/2012- 83
R- 5/30/2012-82
F- 7/3/2012- 90

I took FAR today 8/11/12, and felt pretty crappy the whole time, was so nervous and felt like I forgot a lot of things I studied… I felt a lot of hot topics were not tested but were only concentrated on few other topics… I'm pretty sure I failed, but I'm still hoping I can pass as the clock is ticking…

Thanks guys! I homebound myself for studying from Wednesday night until yesterday morning when I had to go get some things at the grocery store. It was a beautiful morning here it Georgia. I found myself with the windows rolled down singing along with the song on the radio—Peaceful Easy Feeling by the Eagles. Kind of made me at ease with what I am facing tomorrow.!

Getting ready for a marathonstudy session of about 12-13 hours today to go over a variety of things. Maybe a few MC's in the morning, head to Prometric(where they know me by name now) give it my best shot and then freedom for a while.

@Zaiitz I like the use of “opposite of pass”. I too refuse to use the word fail. For we know if we fail, we fail to try.
