I am giving my first exam which is FAR tomorrow. Right now I am feeling like I am preparing to go for a battle in Iraq.Any suggestions on what to and what not to take with me. Few words of encourgement would not harm,,

You will do absolutely great. My words of advice are:

1. Do not panic if you feel like you are failing… a lot of people do, especially with FAR, and they still pass. Try to keep your cool at all times if you can.

2. Take a break if you seem like you have the time, just getting up and stretching can help.

3. Eat something filling but “easy on the stomach” beforehand. I like oatmeal or toast. I ate a giant bowl of captain crunch before FAR and let's just say my nerves did NOT like that dairy sitting in my stomach during the exam!

4. Pee before you start!

5. Wear layers. They will let you take off/put on clothes during the test if you get hot/cold. You'll just have to store whatever clothes you're not wearing in yoru locker at any given time. But definitely layer!

6. And remember… you've prepared. Youv'e done all you can do at this point. Just rock it!

p.s. I'm testing tomorrow too 😀

p.s. printing out your NTS, driving directions, email confirmation, two forms of ID, and anything else you want with you and putting in your car TONIGHT is always smart just in case you forget to grab it in the morning 😉

Florida_Candidate,

Thanks for your advice? Hey I have a drivers liscense and some bank cards with my signature but no pic. Does that work? Also let me know how your exam goes tomorrow. I am taking that one on Nov. And, BEST OF LUCK FOR THE EXAM.

[Florida_Candidate]

hehe only one has to have a pic (at least in my state). Check your NTS for details. But yeah in my state both have to have signatures but only one has to have a pic so you should be good. I use my DL and a credit card 🙂

You will kick your exam's ass too!!!!

In IL, they only require 1 ID now.. but I always bring extra's just in case! Passports are always good to bring in addition to drivers license.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes tomorrow, I sit for FAR on the 18th!!!

Realize that if you feel like you're doing absolutely AWFUL, do not panic. I felt like that during AUD. I thought I was going to fail miserably. Just keep going, realizing that you are allowed to get answers wrong. Also realize if a question stumps you, it's probably stumping a hell of a lot of other people, too.
