I know this has been covered elsewhere I am sure, but I was curious about something. I have spent since 03/05 studying for FAR, and moved my test until 06/10. Normally I would think this should be ample time to study, putting in approximately 19 hours per week; however, I have absolutely forgotten the early material, and have 3 weeks to review (finish the last unit in Gleim today). I wouldn’t change to condense the amount of study time, being I feel that any less wouldn’t have been enough. My question is, has anyone else been in this boat (most likely have), and did you get it down and still pass?

Yes, I was 100% in the same boat, and took 2 weeks to review FAR (1 week on all others). Just keep pushing, 3 weeks is plenty, and all that stuff that you struggled on at first, will start to click in review mode. Just hammer out MCQ and focus your SIMS on the big areas (Pensions, Stmt of Cash Flows, Consolidations, etc)

FAR - 08/30/15 - 90
AUD - 11/12/15 - 92
REG - 01/19/16 - 82
BEC - 02/29/16 - 83

Passed all on 1st attempt using GLEIM (full program) and NINJA (MCQ only)!!!

If you're doing a review course as a review, it should be possible to complete in 6 weeks or less, before LIFO memory hits.

If you're learning things for the first time, that can take longer.

Thanks cpagal. Feeling pretty frustrated. Lots of MCQ left to cover (never could get to more of them while progressing through). Gleim has a ton, as you well know. I feel like the earlier stuff is being once again learned from scratch. Ugh!
