Is it true that you can’t go below 60 in FAR
? I am speculating based on my score.
In other sections it can be 70 to 71 but
In FAR it may be 60😁😁

Well I started over and restudied everything. I used Becker and rewatched the videos and did some of the hmwk. This involved around 30-40 hours a week for 2 1/2 months and I am working full time. When I was two weeks out I did some MC but I was averaging in the 50's and felt it was depressing and moved to copying notes. I copied Ninja notes 3 times and then used Becker Final Review multiple times. I realized I was weak on MC and instead of fighting it accepted it. With less than two weeks of review left I went over SIM structure and logic. I felt (like all the other parts for me) SIMS were a strength and I wanted to understand the best way to approach it. For me that meant moving quickly through the MC so that I had a lot of time to research SIMS. Even when I averaged a little over a minute per MC question I finished the exam right near the deadline. I think everyone is different and for me I learn better visually. Watching videos helped a lot. Also staying calm throughout the test helped.

FAR was my last exam and I was burnt out by the end. I would recommend not studying as much as I did and take some time to sleep and hit the gym so that you are fresh. I did not retain much from all of that studying and I really believe SIMS helped me pass the exam. Honestly my bosses thought I was an idiot for saving my two weakest parts for last. They wanted me to take FAR and AUD first because that is my weakest and would require multiple retakes. I am stronger in REG and BEC and took those parts in the same quarter so that if I passed I would have more time for the others. Luckily I passed and that gave me the time for FAR and AUD. AUD was not that bad but FAR is a brutal exam.
