I am moving in the next 2 weeks and excuses excuses I know, but it has really hurt my focus. I just got this job this week and they need me there in 2 weeks. Anyway I am using Yaeger and I just made it to Bonds before this news. Not only is this move hurting but BONDS suck, I am terrible at it. My exam is May 2nd, so I have a little time. Would it be okay for me to SKIP BONDS? Maybe move on to some other concepts that could be a little easier to retain them come back to bonds or module 13 maybe end of march? Would you reschedule? My new job means learning new stuff all over again and its TONS of travel.. probably 100 miles round trip daily, then coming home to study… Pretty much my flow is lost at this is moment. I have BEC scheduled for July 7th so I was thinking maybe I could take FAR May 31st now, and BEC July 7th and hope for the best. At this point passing FAR is all that matters, if I can pass this beast I believe I can pass the others.

Don't skip bonds… I went through the motions of studying it. Failed FAR. It wasn't until I learned bonds and how to do it did I feel prepared to pass the exam. Roger had an hour long YouTube video explaining Bonds that helped me supplement Becker at the time. I'd suggest checking that out.

It sounds like you might've just started this journey. The key is to figure out your learning style and to actually use that. The less time you spend trying to learn in a way that doesn't work for you, the less headache you'll have with these exams. Are you a notes person? A flash cards person?

100 miles a day round trip is A LOT. I am somewhere around 60-80 miles round trip and its anywhere from 2 hours to 3 hours in the car round trip, depending on traffic. The last thing I would want to do after getting home is study… in fact, I am exhausted when I get home.
