So I’ve been at this for about 2 years. I’ve passed both AUD and BEC (barely 77 and 75 respectively) and I took REG on January 8th and I left feeling so defeated as I put in so much time hoping I’d pass and I can’t help but feel I was taking educated guesses on a lot of the MCQ. Now I’m preparing for FAR which is on 2/27/16 and this is my third time taking the Exam and I just can’t seem to put it altogether. I’m trying to look at this exam as if it is the first time I’m taking it as I didn’t score well both times I previously took FAR. I just can’t help but fall asleep while reading the same Becker material for like the 100th time. I have all the ninja products other than the new mcq explanation product Jeff just released. Please someone give me some advice. I need to pass FAR and REG by June as I have a German Shepherd Puppy coming and my gf will most likely be moving in around then. Since she’s never raised a dog before, the responsibilities on training it will all be mine (which I am greatly looking forward to as I am a huge dog lover and grew up with border collies my whole life).

If anyone has any advice please let me know. Currently, I read the whole chapter, work all the MCQ and make notes. While at work I listen to Ninja Audio and use my lunch break to study. I would say I get around 4 hours a day and I look to get in 5-6hrs on Saturday and Sunday each. PLEASE HELP! Any advice is welcome. Should I focus more on just reviewing notes I’ve made the previous two times I prepared for FAR and just do MCQ or should I stick to my current plan which will leave me with about one week to review.

AUD: (65)(66) 77
REG: (66) (48) destroyed me mentally.....
FAR: (68) (66)(69)(71)
BEC: (63) 75

I'd drop the textbook because I don't think you're getting good value for the time invested in reading it.

Start taking new notes – copy the Ninja notes by hand, then a second time from the first set of handwritten notes. Mix in MCQs as you have time – take detailed notes on the ones you get wrong so you understand what needed to be done to get to the correct answer.

After the notes are done, start mixing in Sims to break up the monotony of MCQs. Keep taking notes on ones you get wrong.

have you viewed any lectures? you need another way of explaining concepts to you… i had to buy 3 different review courses before i found something that clicked for me, it might be the same situation for you. and since nothing will be that foreign/new to you at this point, a fresh look will most certainly help to get the lightbulb to turn on.

BEC - 75 (3x)
AUD - 78 (3x)
REG - 67, 66, Aug 1
FAR - 54, Sept 8
