    Hi All,

    I got a 65. I used Roger, did all lectures, wrote out notes, listened to audio, did most of his questions and all Wiley test bank questions twice plus two practice exams. (scored on both practice exams a 74) Trending score on mcq was a 70 (I did use some hints). Please advise on what to do next. I am currently studying for Audit in the same way, taking that on the 29th. I am leaning towards ten point combo from ninja. Does anyone have an experience with it/success? Hints on how to be successful next time and changes I should make to my Audit prep. Thank You!

    I used Roger as well,(on the 12 month study schedule). then i took off work for two weeks before my test date and used Ninja MCQ constantly and watched some Roger videos on 2x speed to hammer governmental and non profit.

    Like RMM77 said focus on journal entries and sims. Unfortunately the nature of the beast with FAR is each exam can be widely different so you have to be semi-proficient at about everything. However make sure you know your govt & nfp which is about 20% of the exam and IMO the easy part.

    Also, practice exams are a waste of time because they don't give you instant feedback. So stick to cranking out your mcq and understanding the journal entries and the sims will come to you naturally.

    BEC - PASSED
    AUD - PASSED
    REG - PASSED
    FAR - PASSED
