I finished the MCs in 2.5 hours.Had good 1.5 hours for simulations. Many simulations on journal entires. Is that common?

@smuppane

Wow, your test scores are really high and it sounds like you did great on FAR. May I ask what your studying sources were? what review courses? and also what is your method of studying? Watch each video then do assigned MC questions? or Watch all videos, then go back and do all the MC questions, etc.

I would love to take any advice and suggestions that I can to see if it will work for me as well. I would sooo appreciate it! Thanks!

I am using Becker and only Becker for all the exams. I do not even use their final review pdf.

I just listen to lecture for one complete module like F1 and then do all the MCs. Do the same for all chapters. Then in the second reading I do Simulations, Final MCs and Simulations. In the last two weeks to exam I make sure I read the content third time and one last revision just before exam which is usually skimming thru the material fairly quick espacially the important topics and the topics I struggled. I have been taking one exam for evey two months. But BEC I have only one month.

I was scoring 70-80 when I do exercises in FAR but not in all areas. I did not even bother to redo the ones I missed first time. When I was doing I was scoring only 50% in them.

I studied the content again and again last two weeks. Only reading the material completely twice and then only final skim through.

I finished my MCs in 2.5 hours. What I found was the ones I missed in the practice session are like the ones they have a twist in them. If you are doing them correct then I would say you are really good. However what I observed was a very few on the exam were twisted but mostly were straight forward.

Anyway to cut short I am expecting another 90+ but let us see. So FAR is all not that bad. Just read all the pages including ancillary material in Becker. There were MCs on a small line somewhere in ancillary material.

BTW I did not even bother to take the second sample test and first one I only did MCs and scored 70% one week before the exam.

Again it is not what you are getting right. It is relative to others how well you do on the exam in the test window.
