Currently studying for FAR.

I pushed through my winter break and worked to get in around 110 hours of study time so far across 25 days right now. I’ve been taking my MCQs on the NINJA program the past two days and today took my first set of 30 and got a 50. Overall my trend before this was around 70 but I just kept missing stupid questions that I would think I knew the answer then decide it was most likely wrong. So basically just me making stupid mistakes. Am I just overstudying? I have the test on Monday and have definitely put in a lot more time than the first time I took it (63).

Should I just take a break and maybe only do a few hours tomorrow. I know I need to study more but is it worth it tire my brain out as well. I also started classes this week and for my second semester which included 5 classes + TAing one class + Sitting in an extra auditing class.

Any advice is helpful!

Well I don't think over studying is your problem, more like burnt out. Personally I'd push through it but I realize that doesn't work for everyone. If you weren't working or in school until the last 5 days, 4.5 hours a day of studying is actually pretty modest hours wise. I think 110 hours for FAR is actually pretty low and would be more inclined to push it out than take it easy tomorrow.

Yea it was mainly not to bad just a lot of times where I wanted to study but family stuff came up and I ended up doing 2 hours and then had all sorts of family members come in.

It's the holidays and it happens. Have you passed any sections and is the 18 month clock ticking on them? Give yourself more time. I know it's hard with a full schedule but even with your course/workload it is entirely possible to get this done.

I'm totally burnt out. I studied like crazy over the holidays and now I can't even focus. I'm basically going through the motions. I started working full time this week and am done. I'm testing Tuesday for BEC and am not looking forward to it. I've been through all the Becker questions two times, done a final exam and a shload of progress tests. This is also my 4 th test. Maybe if I didn't have to retake AUD ( because I'm an idiot) I could find the energy to push through this weekend.

Sounds like you have a bunch of classes going on. If you haven't taken and passed any parts yet, just change your test date. No reason to rush if you don't have to. I have an NTS expiring because I signed up for all the tests at once (because I'm an idiot). So I have no choice but to go in and take this thing on Tuesday.

Good luck on whatever you decide. The experience just gets worse and worse, so if you can push through the pain do it. Your only going to get more busy

I haven't passed any parts yet. I'm taking it on Monday no water what because with my week coming up I won't even be able to touch the materials again until tuesday afternoon and I have a Saturday class next week. I know it's all in there and I'll pass just need more practice (Gotta keep positive) You'll do fine and no worries!
