I am taking my FAR test in 47 days (not scheduled yet, so I can move it back) and I have started the multiple choice last week (this is after doing the Yaegar CPA). I am doing every question in the Wiley book and using Jeff’s study guide have logged about 29 hours last week and will continue for the next 6 weeks. I am averaging 67% on the multiple choice and 79% on the simulations and was wondering if I should start worrying about the exam? The most trouble I seem to have is for the IFRS and footnote disclosures. I understand that 75 is the passing mark but if anyone else can tell me their experience when starting the multiple choice when they started and how they progressed from this point that would be helpful.

Thanks!

For FAR, I was scoring on average about 70-75% on MCQs going into it. I was stressing out (it was my first exam) because I had heard that you needed to be scoring around 90% to pass. But don't worry, I have since learned that that is not true. Each question on the exam is weighted differently, up to 20% of them do not count, and the 75 passing score does not mean “percent.” With 47 days left, you should be fine. Just work on your weak points. Good luck!

Dear CPA Exam, You are a beast. But you WILL be defeated!

So instead of starting another thread, I figured I would just update this one and see what people say. I now get about 90% of the Minimum questions that Yaegar suggested and about 85% total correct. I also have this fear that they will ask something out of nowhere, but I think thats everyones fear
