I have a strategy question for y’all. I am re-taking FAR. Background, so I passed the other 3 parts on first attempt by focusing on MCQs and was scoring in the 80s on comprehensive progress tests just before the exam. On the actual exam I did “stronger” in each section and weaker in the sims. I still barely passed each part. For FAR, I continued that strategy and didn’t do any sims during my studies. However, I was only scoring in the 60’s on the progress tests before exam. I received a 68. I did either stronger or comparable on all the sections and weaker on the sims. I had planned to spend the next two weeks doing the sims. However, I am still only scoring in the 60s in the progress tests. Starting to think maybe I should instead focus on bringing my progress test scores up. That worked for me in the past. I don’t have time to do both. What do you suggest? Bringing up my MCQ score or practicing sims? Thanks so much!!!

Becker and Ninja Notes.

ok Well I know some of my friends were unable to pass FAR by using becker alone because they felt like certain topics weren't covered in depth (eg. bong conversions, je)

I think you should supplement other material with becker if cost permits.

Do attempt to improve your progress scores, if you’re getting low scores on the material you have some areas you need to work on in terms of understanding and grasping concepts. I would work on Sims until you’re are sick of them and then move back to doing mcq. Make sure go through as many sims and mcq before the exam.

FAR - 2/16 - 78
BEC - 2/16 - 78
AUD - 8/16
REG - 8/16
