I took my FAR retake on the 13th. I find out my score on the 24th, Do I wait or continue to study? I have one more test then i am finished (FAR). I have until 04.30.17 until my first test expires. My guess is I should take a break since I am burnt out from studying and tax season.

REG - 10/12/2015 77
AUD - 01/06/2016 75
BEC - 01/16/2016 75
FAR - 02/27/2016 68 Retake 05/13/16 70 Retake TBD

I'd wait. You have a year until you'd have to worry about retaking other sections. Worst case, you knock out FAR in the next testing window.

No point in torturing yourself haha.

Take a break you deserve it, man.

You're going to feel stupid if you continue studying and find out that you passed. If I were you I'd take a few days off then dive back in if you didn't pass. Not only will you feel refreshed by taking some time off but you also won't risk wasting your time studying for nothing if you end up passing.

Yeah take it easy for a while you definitely owe it to yourself. You managed to take quite a few tests back to back. Can I ask you what reviews you used to study by?

thanks for the replies/suggestions! I really do appreciate it!

@TrackStar – Becker book only. No Becker MCQ nor online videos/lecture. I supplemented my Becker book with ninja mcq for AUD and BEC. For REG and FAR I used Wiley TB. My routine, read the book twice then hit mcq and assess your weak areas. Then reread the portion of the chapter that you had trouble with. If that doesnt work, dont look at your text any further and use the interwebs for examples/lectures/Authoritative Literature to help you understand what you are getting wrong. When you are a week out from your test, hit MCQ hard and review the book lightly.

Wow. That's impressive that a person can get as good as you to have only read the Becker book w/o MCQS and Sims. We know the lectures slow use down anyway. But that's good! I bet you'd pass better that way though. All the luck to you.

@Dave71 sorry I just saw that you used Wiley MCQs. I was going to say you are tough. But that's still very impressive bc I go back and forth with lectures and barely use my book mostly find myself going through lectures to take notes that I may have missed. I will go back and just reread things on my own to finalize everything before I get heavily into the MCQS and Sims. Thanks!
