Hello guys,

I’ve been studying full-time for the past 6 weeks and will take FAR on Friday.
Since there is a crazy amount of volume, is there any specific topics which I need to concentrate more reviewing during this 2 days ?

Thank you

Keep reviewing and work to strengthen your weak areas. Do some complex SIMs. Take an AICPA practice exam. Relax, eat well, sleep well, practice breathing and not holding your breath. Positive self-talk matters.You've got this!! Good luck!

FAR 7/25/15 76!
AUD 10/30/15 93
BEC 2/27/16 82
REG 5/23/16 88!
Ninja Book and MCQ and the forum - all the way!!!
and a little thing i like to call, time and effort!

Nothing should be too unfamiliar if you spent time on each core topic in exam prep. I would recommend practicing some SIMs as they cover a good variety of topics that translate to MCQs, don't worry about getting them perfect, just review the solutions and see how they navigate the problem. I know the AICPA publishes a file that shows what topics are tested and relative weight on their website.

I would strongly suggest that you take the AICPA Sample Test. I always did that a couple days before the exam and found it to be very helpful, especially the SIMS.

Took Far today and basically MCQ were okay, with the 2nd one getting harder, but SIMS were super long and detailed, making me not have enough time and leave on of them half blank, and got wrong a portion of bank reconciliation.
Honestly, I feel very insecure and think most likely failed

@Aldo, you never know with this crazy exam…take a break, do some review, don't second guess because this test is done. Your other scores are great, so I'm sure you were prepared. Hang in and get your score on 25th. Good luck!
