FAR in two weeks. 2nd time taking it and been hammering MC and sims but still don’t feel ready getting 50-65% on practice tests. Went thru some lectures again but not all. Any words of advice/encouragement

Hone in on the areas where you're struggling the most. Also, keep in mind that Financial Reporting and Select Financial Statement Accounts are the two most heavily weighted sections, so your performance there will matter most. That's where your studying should focus. GL!

Depends on study style. I have far Thursday, and saved Final Review for this week so I could refresh on everything right before I take it. But I learn well with lectures

Getting a study group/partner was really helpful for me to stay disciplined.

Did you pass?

No failed with a 65 got scores back 11/8

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.
