Hey guys, I sit for FAR on saturday. I feel ready-ish. I’ve gone through the Becker materials and I am on F7 today in my two week review. I am having motivation issues. I just can’t seem to focus on the materials. I am reading but nothing is entering my brain. I’ve been studying non-stop since May and this is my second exam (Took audit 7/1). Any advice? Sigh I just can’t get myself together today. I don’t really have time to take a day off.

B - 12/10/2016
A - 94!!!!!!!!!! (7/1/2016)
R - 10/7/2016
F - 8/27/2016

sometimes I found that when I hit a study rut for FAR I would stop reading the material and just do some progress tests. Good way to keep fresh but requires a little less active learning since you've generally gone through those topics before

FAR- taken 8/11/16....now the wait begins
AUD- scheduled 9/8/16
BEC- scheduled 10/9/16
REG-scheduled 12/10/16

When I was studying for FAR and was in a study rut, I would take a half day or a day off to do something fun or relaxing and totally take my mind off of the exam. Doing that refreshed my motivation and gave me the strength to keep going. Also, I work well under pressure and probably study more efficiently when I am pressed for time.

Some people on this forum have mentioned designating 1 day a week as a no-study day. It's important to have that time for yourself so you don't burn out.

Btw – I studied for FAR for 6 weeks using Becker and it was my first exam ever. I didn't feel that great going in because there is just SO much information but the truth about FAR is “it's a mile wide but only an inch deep”. I personally thought the exam was really hard, and I came out thinking I failed (even began planning my retake). I was so shocked that I got an 84 on score release day!

B- TBD
A- Scheduled 8/816
R- Scheduled 9/8/16
F-84! (7/12/16)
