Do you think I can do that in 1 month?

Is failing by 11 points a huge difference from passing FAR?

You don't need 11 points!! You need 75 points!! Just because you knew bond amortization 6 weeks ago, doesn't mean you still remember it today.

You need to take the retake like you haven't taken FAR before.

FAR: 63, 55, 62
REG: 65, 77*
AUD: Fail, 64, 71
BEC: 72, 74, 81

You need 75 even though there was an 11 point difference. Start studying now, you may be able to pass in 30 days, the material is fresh. I would suggest the ninja mcq's and drill, drill, drill, then drill some more. Time is not unreasonable, but you need to study for 75 (which is passing)

It begins with a 75

For FAR I think the best strategy is to keep doing MCQs even after you test until you get the score and pass.

There is no telling about the results as many on this forum have pointed out. People who thought they passed failed and people who figured they bombed passed. My first go at FAR was with racing through the Roger lectures and spending only a few hours with NINJA MCQ. I figured I scored 50 or under but I got a 60.

This time I went back and read the book, my notes, and spent a lot of time on MCQs but I don't know what will happen because it is the luck of the draw on the test you get. No matter how I feel after today I will without fail do 50 MCQs a day to keep this stuff fresh. The weak parts I will go back and read the book/write note. If I pass excellent; I can just drop everything that day. If I don't I have a good start on things.

I would say DO NOT take any time off to reboot. Of course, you can take a day off to get away from this stuff and do what you enjoy but taking a week or two off is a disaster. I think it is possible to come back in a month and pass if you stay on it. But like the others have said, you have to prep for everything and go in new.
