What do you guys think?

1 Conceptual Framework Avg 84% Trend 91% Total 511

2 Financial Statement Accounts Avg 73% Trend 74% 811

3 Specific Transactions, Events Avg 79% Trend 84% 809

4 Governmental Avg 69% Trend 62% 424

5 Not-for-Profit Average 87% Trending 91% 235

I know I need to hit govt a lot harder this last month. The last time I failed FAR with a 73, I was weaker in govt and financial statement accounts.

I’m afraid that I might be memorizing questions/answers so I’m thinking about buying another test bank (ie roger or wiley or something). What do you guys think?

I plan to hopefully get to 5000-6000 ninja questions and complete all the Sims.

On my failed attempt, I completed about 3200 questions, averaged a total of about 70% and trended about 80%. Currently I’m at a total of 2800 questions, average 77% and trending 80%.

Hey Dab, the MCQ Trending can be a bit misleading. Once i started setting up my MCQ to “only show previously missed queston” the trend only climbs” Once you have no prev missed questions your Trend is at 100% ( i did this). As for memorizing the answers. I would say just try and think about the concepts prior to even looking at the answers. I know i for one am memorizing answers, but after doing over 5,150 MCQ for FAR, im simply using the MCQ as concept memorization.

Thoughts?

Thank you for your response Knight4CPA

Im actually not using the filters in ninja MCQ and Im just going through the adaptive learning phase. Im not sure if I should play with it or not at this time. What helped me pass Reg was the “troubled questions”. Im thinking about using that once I get all of the questions atleast seen one time. So far I haven't seen about 300 questions and haven't answered a total of 500 questions correctly (which includes the 300 not seen).

This is my first time failing a an exam so Im not sure whats the most effective way to go about preparing for a retake. I am kind of using my score report as a guidance and plan to hit the sims hard as well (I did weaker in Sims).

Longstorylong – i took FAR 10 days after passing Reg. No preparation at all, maybe 100 MCQ trending at like 19% (worse than just guessing randomly i know). I have been attacking relentlessly since than with 100 a day. on Far I have seen every question and have also answered all questions correctly once. By setting it up for only previously missed questions i got the Trend to be 100%. Since reaching the review stage I am back to basic Random generated MCQ and my trending average is down to about 91% over another 200~ questions so thats solid. I test out Friday. I would say if i were to attack any Ninja MCQ again it would be to set it to New Questions Only until i saw everyone, then set it to Previously Missed Questions until i got everyone right.

I am averaging 55%. I hope to raise this to 65% by Friday. Keep in mine i was probably averaging 25-35% for my first thousand questions (studied primarily through MCQ)
