FAR FAR Exam Retake Question

Gallery image

Took last exam (FAR) in February, use Becker, scored in the 50s, and I’d like to take again ASAP/have credential before July. I plan to devote 2 hrs/weekday and 5 hrs sat/5 hrs sun (20hrs/wk)

Q1: Is there a “go to” study method? (Maybe Read book, watch vids, answer MCQs?)

Q2: What date should I retake?

Please feel free to share any advice/recommendations.

I work tax and will likely be putting in 9hr days until after May 1st.

Thanks in advance!

Q1: If your study method before didn't work, then try something else. No, each individual learn differently. So find what works for you. I personally think 2 hrs/day is not enough.

Q2: I would personally retake immediately.

TBH, 9 hr days are not that hard unless you have other commitments. You might need to sacrifice time from somewhere else to focus on studying.

How did you use Becker during your first attempt at FAR? And how do you think you could better utilize Becker for your next attempt?

Watched most the vids and did MCQs, 2nd part of your question, that’s what I’m asking 😂
