    Pretty sure I failed FAR and will find out 11/4.

    I am already preparing for how I will start studying on Friday morning. I passed REG using only Becker, passed both BEC and AUD using Becker and Ninja MC.

    Just took FAR using Becker and Ninja MC. If I have to start over, what approach should I take? I was thinking of reading the entire Becker book and taking detailed notes, then doing all of the becker questions, and then redoing all of the ninja MC.

    Any other suggestions???

    Hey maybe I'm not understanding your plan but it sounds like you will do all of the MCQ's at the end? As you can see I'm a big fan of Peter Olinto and I'll paraphrase his advice here: Work the topics piece meal. Don't blast through the material all at once then blast through the questions. Go through a topic, then the questions, then another topic, and the questions, etc.

    If you've already been doing this I wouldn't veer from it after one possible fail. Although I'm betting you passed.

    FAR: 89, 2/29/16
    AUD: 97, 5/9/16
    BEC: 92, 6/10/16
    REG: October 2016

    I actually stated the wrong thing for the Becker area. The way I did it before was I read each chapter and took notes, and then did each section of homework. But for ninja MC, I do them at the end for my final review. I am just trying to get added suggestions of people who have successfully passed FAR. This has to be my last time.

    I REALLY don't think you failed. It's a few days in the making. Have a drink or something else to unwind. I say that based on your scores, it seems you have developed a study method that allows you to attain those scores. So have some faith. It's just 3 more days.

    Restudy method: I finished NINJA and I think it was essential to passing. HOWEVER, in the EVENT that you don't pass, I would suggest Gleim. I've heard they're unreasonably hard and teaches you in a way that prepares you for the exam.

    BEC 80 (10/23/15)
    FAR 72 (4/2/15); 83 (7/11/16)
    REG 52 (4/28/15)
    AUD (9/9/16)

    I agree with @hasy. You passed your other exams with a comfortable margin, so even if you didn't do as well on FAR as you did on the others, you may still have passed. And even if you didn't, it may not be necessary to start completely over from scratch. Figure out what areas you were weaker on and brush up on those, first. (Personally, I use the cumulative progress tests on Becker to hone in on areas where I can improve my score.)
