Advice on passing FAR cpa exam? I am a becker user but feel like some MC/Topics I can’t seem to grasp even when I rewatch or reread lecture. I am not making progress. Is there any material you recommend to supplement with. I don’t know what to do it’s so frustrating seeing my scores still low after reviewing. I have my exam in a month. Should I do final review? Should I use supplement using ninja or gleim? Appreciate any advice.

I used ninja to get more mcqs cause I felt like I was starting to remember the answers to Becker questions

Got it. May consider getting this as well. Thank you!

You want to focus on less material, not more. Focus on Becker final review, flash cards, MCQs, and sims. Just repetition in those and reviewing the solutions is the best approach.

Thank you for advice. I will take this in account.

Highly recommend i75 for sure. Helped me pass FAR and others after not passing it with Becker.

Is i75 just lectures or has mc too? Thanks!

Highly recommend getting the 1 month subscription for i75. Becker assumes you know some things and over simplifies the material. i75 explains it to you like you’re 5. It helped so much for tough topics like bonds, leases, etc.

Lectures, but he includes MCQs within the lectures and describes how to reason/calculate through them.

I also used YouTube videos for things i didn’t understand fully

Whenever you are doing mcqs and review, ensure that you know the reason why something is done a certain way or why the answer is correct, and not just skip a question if you guess correctly. This will help identify any gaps in your understanding
