Should I keep doing mcq on a problem area or come back to it later?

    I’m on the “N” part of the ninja method and doing non-stop mcq’s for FAR. My exam is on 2/29 and I’ve been through a little over 500 questions this past week. I’m averaging 56%, but it’s my first attempt on most of these topics. I got crushed on Bonds and Inventory and was spending so much time doing them that I decided to just keep going. I still have some hard topics to cover (Pensions, S/E, Cash Flows, Taxes, Consolidations, and Gov/NFP).

    I plan on going back every few days and doing some older topics to keep them fresh, but should I be sticking with one until I feel I have a good handle on it? I just don’t want to run out of time towards the end and be rushing to get through topics I haven’t attempted yet. I figure I could use the extra time at the end to hit my problem areas more.

    PS. My wife is due any day (I predicted tomorrow) and my study schedule is most likely going to take a hit. That’s another reason I’m trying not to get stuck on one topic.

    FAR: 75 Roger & Ninja (notes/flashcards/audio/MCQ)
    AUD: 73, 81
    BEC: 71, retake 8/29

    Keep moving along. I made that same mistake more than once, especially on BEC with cost accounting. It is possible that some areas don't even show up on the exam, so make sure to know everything well rather than know 60% of it perfectly.

    RE2PECT: You should be at least familiar with every topic because there is a chance you can have a question on anything included in the exam outline. So for that reason I say continue moving on. After you get a run through of all the material once, I would then definitely focus on the big topics and those you are the most uncomfortable with.

    FAR- 53, next time 5/5/16
    B: 7/30/16
    A:TBD
    R:TBD
