I am taking FAR in a couple of days. I am struggling on whether I feel prepared or not. Confidence on these exams is a huge issue for me. I know i need to go in with a good attitude but there is SO much info I feel like its impossible to actually feel prepared. Does anyone have any similar feelings or any advice on how to go into an exam with the correct mindset.

i hear you, im about 3 weeks away from taking FAR for the first time, and planning on starting my review this weekend. I'm using Rogers and mainly Ninja MCQ, but there is so much info. How are you going about, for the review?

unfortunately, you will never feel completely prepared. Just keep reviewing everything over and over again and if you struggle with a topic re-read/re-write/re-watch lectures over again until you stop scoring in 50% range and start scoring in the 80% range. I remember having gov't lectures playing on my phone on the drive to the testing center….

Agree with A1lessio. I don't think anyone will feel completely prepared. But, when I went to take FAR, I felt pretty prepared.

Try this, just by looking over the table of contents of the review course, what pops up in your brain?

When I was preparing, I was able to list details of each topic of chapters. For example, if chapter 20 is about lease, I was able to talk out about it starting from concepts to journal entries to financial statement presentation. Then I felt like I know the material.
