I just finished up F2 with Becker and already feeling very discouraged with FAR in general.. I feel pretty good after the lectures and taking notes but then I am barely getting 60s on the MCQ because they seem like they are on a way other level of difficulty. I passed REG and am waiting for my score back for AUD (which I felt pretty confident about). Is anyone else in or was in the same boat? I bought Ninja MCQ for REG and AUD and am definitely planning on doing the same for FAR. Hoping that will help once I start reviewing but I can’t help but feel really discouraged so far. I have it scheduled for August 1. All comments/tips are highly appreciated!

REG - 82
AUD - 81
FAR - 8/2016
BEC - 9/2016

I am in the same boat. I just started with FAR about a week or so ago and have covered ~30% of the material using Roger + Ninja Notes. Right now, I am focusing on covering all of the lectures and aggregating any extra points to my Ninja Notes. I do work some of the MCQ through Roger's IPQ, but I am really waiting to dig into those deep once (Using NINJA MCQ) I finish all of the lectures. But, man…the anxieties and discouragements sure do build….I am on Intangibles at the moment and when I try to think back I almost blank out! …Information Overload !!!!

I am confident it will all come together for us all….keep at it!

FAR: 9/3

Thanks everyone! Glad we are all at least in the same boat haha. I took a day off and then went back and reviewed F2 and it definitely went a lot smoother that time – I guess I just need some patience as well.

@NALI474 – honestly REG was a shit show for me – I would advise to study and know the topics from a very high level. I found myself too caught up in details and once I got a “basic” question on the exam, I would overthink myself. I walked out almost confident I failed and ended up with an 82 so who knows! In my opinion though with only being through F3, studying for REG was a lot easier than FAR so you should be fine.

Also good luck to everyone getting scores in a few hours!! I will be up late waiting for my AUD score.

REG - 82
AUD - 81
FAR - 8/2016
BEC - 9/2016

FAR is my first exam and it is horrible. The first time- I had no idea what I got myself into. Did not even finish reviewing the material. The second time I went though every Becker question and every SIM. Then i was doing Ninja and felt horrible because I forgot so much of what i learned in earlier chapters. I retook on June 6th and I will hear this week. The SIMS were horrible and the MCQ questions were so long! I came out of the test center crying.

Its great so many people are going through the same thing. We will all get through it!
FAR 2/16 56 – retake June 6th
