    This is very helpful, and congratulations! Really respect someone with a family who can organise their time so well. I sat FAR yesterday and I bombed- my second MCQ testlet was easier so the first section was not good. I walked out depressed. Now am in the process of figuring out a study strategy and will use some of this- a good point about the simulations- they really can ask anything. But I will still do them to help manage my time during the exam.

      Honestly I felt that way my first exam. Just try to think of it as a learning experience. After my initial sadness, I tried to use my exam as a way to better study. I changed my study methods and then passed every exam after! Good luck!

    Hi! I am about to retake FAR in December after I failed in July with a 68. It's the last exam I need to pass. I did however attempt it being back at work from maternity leave with a 4 month old. I just want to pass and be done with all of this.. I originally planned to leave myself 5 weeks but this week kind of slipped through the cracks so now I have 4. About how many multiple choice questions do you think you did in that time frame?

  • @ShopAtSpicywedding
    @ShopAtSpicywedding 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That was very helpful advice, thanks. I always thought we needed to concentrate on Sims. Questions for you: I know you did Becker online but do you know anyone who did in the classroom and how they compare, what's the real difference? I always expected to do it in the classroom but after hearing your experience, it sounds like online might be more flexible. Are the classroom lectures faster paced and more frequent than once a week?
    Do they allow you to bring water to drink DURING the test or you have to wait for the break? One of your first videos said they wouldn't let you take off your sweater... So what did you do the 2nd and 3rd time?

    • @SaraMarie
      @SaraMarie  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most of my friends who studied for the CPA right after college did the 3 month Becker in class option. I think it’s called fast pass. Basically you intensely study all summer and you’re meant to pass within 3 months or so. I think most people like that so they can finish before they start work. I don’t know anyone who did the normal in class option but I would assume it’s similar, just not as fast.
      As for the other questions.. you aren’t allowed to have anything with you in the testing center besides your key for the locker (where you put all your stuff) and your ID. You have to wait to drink or eat until your breaks.
      I was able to wear a sweater but they do make you pull out your hood, pull up your sleeves and take out any pockets. I definitely recommend bringing a sweater because every time I’ve gone it’s been chilly in the testing room. Hopefully I covered everything. Let me know if you have any other questions 😊
