    This is my last section, so you would think I’ve had a lot of motivation to hit the studies hard, but nope, that hasn’t been the case. I feel behind in my studies. Sit for it Aug 31st and have only roughly 1000 of the 1600 MCQ’s done (trending at 60% which is very generous IMO) and haven’t done any SIMS. I work full time and have CPE classes for a week Aug 17-20…I feel doomed for this first time. Only thing going for me is I have 3 total windows to pass this last exam.

    AUD (PASSED) - 56, 91
    BEC (PASSED) - 80
    REG (PASSED) - 68, 74, 77
    FAR (PASSED) - 78

    Whether you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

    Don't worry, I still feel behind on my FAR studies and that is after I have passed it. FAR is just different than the other sections in my opinion. So much material and very hard to go into the test feeling confident with everything that it could possibly cover.

    @steelersman from your personal experience with the test, what is the most important part to focus on you think??

    also, I am using becker.. idk if that is what you had used… however, how much does the simulation's and MCQs reflex the exam

    I also used Becker and I made sure to cover all parts for Becker at least once. Honestly I don't think there is an overall “most important part” to focus on, I feel that it is different for everyone. For me personally I studied the Governmental and NFP quite extensively (F8 & F9 I think), mostly because this is the area I felt the weakest in. This might be different for you, I would study F1 through F10 at least once and then go back and re-visit the areas you don't feel as strongly in. The Becker MCQ's I thought were great as far as preparation but honestly the Sims I got on the actual exam did not compare at all to the ones I practiced in Becker.

    @steelersman ugh!!! really that's awful!!!

    I was really hoping the SIMs were really great for the exam. especially since those take the longest and a lot of practicing on

    It will be a different set of Sims when you take the exam so it might be different for you, the Sims that I got were so far out there though and I left the exam feeling like the Sims had done me in but I still managed to pass. Keep practicing and I'm sure you will do fine.

    @Chickie8565 I am debating on pushing it out to October as opposed to sitting on 8/30, but I'm SO tired of this exam and just want to be done. I just feel like nothing is sticking, and I'm not fully through the material yet in order to review. Should be done by tomorrow, and then it will be hammering out MCQ's. How are you doing?

    REG - Passed
    BEC - Passed
    AUD - Passed
    FAR - Passed!!!! I have my life back.

    Feel relieved that you have others in the boat with you. I'm taking my exam on the 26th and I'm only on chapter 4. Granted this is a retake, so I'm able to get through the chapters a little quicker. My issue is the details! I feel like I do well on most topics. However, there's always a little detail that I miss which makes the entire problem wrong. 🙁

    Passed all sections.

    At least I feel better knowing I'm not the only one. I prob should reschedule, but I would rather just take it and get the experience since I already have AUD scheduled, so I can't go back to this material until October.

    I feel like its the sheer volume of topics and seemingly unrelated content that makes it so tough. I started out all gung-ho and keep fading out. 2 weeks left, I'm not giving up or counting myself out yet.

    AUD: Pass
    REG: Pass
    BEC: Pass
    FAR: Pass
    DONE!
