I am getting pretest anxiety. I am using Becker and I am on my way to going through the book and the questions for thethird time. I feel ok but it is just so much information. I am starting to believe that my brain can’t store every single thing. I start off on 1 then go to 10 by the time I get back to one I forget some little details. This is my last part and I really need this!

You know you're ready when Jeff Elliot appears to you and says “You are now ready my young grasshopper. Now go to Prometric and pass that FAR exam.”

Feel like you can't hold any more information? You're on the right path. I felt like my brain literally wanted to explode the few days before my exam. I had a 3 week review period after a lil over 2 months of studying. Maybe that's why my head wanted to explode

I don't think I've ever felt prepared for an exam. You'll never feel like you know everything. I'm convinced I know nothing until I get my score back and then I'm like hmm. I guess I knew something!

AUD: 98
REG: 91
BEC: 86
FAR: 83

DONE DONE DONE and DONE all on the first try! It IS possible, just keep on studying!

You will be never prepared, period. When you are doing review, some odd questions you did before will pop out and confuse you. Unless you are one of those people who remembers everything, average candidate cannot remember everything.

I believe if you are in review phase (assuming using ninja mcq) and consistently getting over 90 in testlets of 30, you are good to go. It is hard not to remember, but you have to know why the answer is correct and why other are not.

I believe I was getting in the 80s in my review and I got similar score in FAR. So if you get in the 90s you will likely score above 75. But again there is no guarantees..

80s and 90s in the review phase? What is that? Guess I'm screwed. Lol

BEC (2/28/16) ----- 78

I think 90s is a very safe best. Most people will do well if u get at least 80%+ in review phase. Do not worry to much.

My average was like 69% for all 5k questions; not even 70%. Good luck.

I never feel prepared for any of these exams. I always want to kill the tests, then I would have a doubt afterwards.

Far 10/26/2015, 64, 1/4/2016, 82

Aud, 5/9/2016, 74 (ouch), 7/26/2016, I cannot wait to take this test again
Bec, 6/10/2016, 70,9/8 retake

its just devastating when you hit a topic soooo hard in studying, but then end up with 2 MCQ and no SIMS on that topic..

AUD: 70, 80✔ (Expires 1/18/2017 - / Ninja MCQ / CPAExcel MCQ)
REG: 61, 70, 75✔ (Expires 2017 - Ninja MCQ / CPAExcel MCQ)
BEC: 78✔(Expires 5/17/2017 - Ninja MCQ / Becker Flashcards / NinjaNotes)
FAR: 57 (just to get trigger time I scheduled 1 week after REG) Retake 5/13/16

I never thought I was fully ready. But I felt somewhat confident once I rewrote all my notes (as prescribed in the NINJA method). The stuff I was reading started making sense. Most people have said in this forum that they really didn't feel that sense of preparedness until about that final week. I can attest to this on my previous tests. You start feeling a change and it feels really good! ….until you get to Prometric!

FAR - 75 (2/25/16)
AUD - 80 (4/8/16)
REG - 80 (6/10/16)
BEC - 79 (7/19/16)

You only get one shot with the spirit bomb.
