I probably have asked this many time but Im really fed up with retaking FAR again. I honestly dont know what I could do to raise my score; my scores dropped 5 points compared to my last try. I honestly dont want to go into busy season in January with 2 parts to retake and potentially have REG drop too in March 2018. All of this would be a nightmare.. BS aside, anyone can really tell me how they did and raise their scores (trying to go from 59 to 75)??

My past study strategy: Go through all Becker MCQ/SIMS. Do set 30 MCQ 1-3 then slowly add 1 chapter on to review material. After all chaps covered I’d use Ninja MCQ solely. Mixed in with Ninja SIMS. Didnt take any practice exam.. Probably why I’m failing, since I did for the other 3 sections. Any correlation?

I appreciate any help. I just really wanna get this over with and have my life back during the holidays.

Thanks to all of you. What you wrote made sense. I have been using my old version Becker textbook for a long time, but after writing 2017 Q1 & Q3, I decided to sign-up for Ninja materials (including a book this time). Just got the FAR section materials.

I will be using my old Becker/Wiley materials for reference only, that way I have more time with my latest materials. I am not new with the Ninja MCQs/SIMs, tried to buy a set of MCQs/SIMs each year, since January of 2015. But never really tried using the material to its full potential. It's always partly used. So, I always have 50/50 chance of passing each time.

Likely, I will work with my weak areas, lots of calculation questions. Also this time, do some mock final exams, in order to help build my calculation speed.
