    I've been told not to take the feedback too seriously. Honestly, I'd re-study like I've never seen the material before. The only thing I changed was I skipped the video lectures and instead did more MCQ's and TBS's. Ended up passing FAR my 2nd attempt that way.

    I got weaker in every area except for stronger in governmental. I was planning on skipping the video lectures as well this time around but I might go through some again for the topics that I know the least.

    Well, it seems like the only reason you even got a 70 is because of your simulations. You just need to study everything again from scratch to strengthen all those areas.

    R 8/11 86

    Speaking of Ninja Notes….Are those notes that can be used as the only study material or are they a supplement to the study material you already have? Thanks.

    Try to get the Ninja Notes and read it few times or re-write it. Take a moment to go over cpareviewforfree, it helps me with my lengthy and wordy MCQ.

    FAR 04/21/2012 - Passed
    AUD 07/28/2012 - Passed
    BEC 10/20/2012 - Passed
    REG 2/28/13 - Horrible exam ever! - Passed
    I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!

    Skip the lectures. Buy Wiley test bank, work the mcq's at least 2 times. Focus on understanding the materials via journal entries or T-accounts (almost every problem in FAR can be solved this way). Also, know how the Financials relate to eachother. Don't go ham on note-taking. Only take notes on the major topics that you don't understand.
