So I realize that I have about a 99% chance of failing FAR with only 2 weeks to study, but my NTS is expiring Oct 17th and I would like to give it a try instead of just waste the money. I am taking AUD Oct 3rd so I am putting all my study time to that up until the day of the exam.

I have looked into getting a cram course like Roger’s since I would have time to watch all of the videos where obviously I will not have time to get through the Becker videos…but i’m not sure if I want to spend the money either since I will most likely fail anyway and will be spending money on a retake.

If you only had 2 weeks to study for FAR, how would you approach it to give you at least SOME kind of chance to pass?

Thanks!

If you've got the Wiley or Becker book I would just read it and write down high level notes for each chapter. You should be able to knock out a chapter a night of reading and writing notes and then perhaps your last weekend before the exam try to re-write all the notes.

If you don't work, you can get in a good 8-12 hours of study a day. Read a chapter a day (skip the videos) and take notes. After each chapter do as many MCQ's as you can for that chapter until you drop. Each day also try to do a 30 question or so progress test of the prior chapters. That's all bBker chapters done in 10 days. Last 4 days, re-read all of your notes and do non-stop MCQ's and a few SIMs. I think if you did that you would have at least a 50% chance of passing.

If you do work, you can still get in a chapter a day, but you'll probably do less MCQs each day. During the weekend study as much as possible.

I do work, but I am planning on taking vacation Monday the 14th – Wednesday the 16th so with the weekends that would give me 7 full days of studying and then I could probably get in about 2-3 hours on the other days that I work. Thanks for the advice, it gives me a little hope to think that others think it would be possible (50/50 isn't bad right??) 🙂

Oh, and I have Becker.
