How does anybody not get frustrated doing the Becker FAR MCQs? I’ve been scoring super low recently and it’s so demoralizing. Then I get frustrated and I end up giving up. Any tips on how to overcome this? Exam is on 8/12, so I NEED to hunker down and study.

I would write a flash card for each concept/question you get wrong and start reviewing those as you go. If you don’t then you don’t master any concepts and it’s really hard to remember the answers. Good luck

What are you getting on the mcq? I heard getting 50-75% is actually considered good.

Without looking, I was recently offered a role at another company for about 30% more salary and 10x the amount of stock options, but I have only been at my current employer for less than a year and feel really guilty about leaving so soon into my tenure. My current employer might match salary, but there's no chance the options get matched.

I'm wondering if I should take the new position, even after less than a year at my company? I can't shake my guilt even though it seems like a no-brainer.

I recently passed my LCSW exam and I am waiting to receive my official licensure information in the mail. I interviewed for a position that requires the LCSW and received an offer to start as an MSW and eventually adjust my salary once my licensure and credentialing is completed. They gave me the salary for MSW level however, they said they could not tell me what the salary bump for LCSW would be until i have my license number. Is this standard practice for a LCSW position in a clinic?

Anyone taken REG this Q yet and can give insight on what areas were heavily tested on for you? It's my last exam and I'm on a marathon to pass it before FAR expires. First time I took it last November resulted in me getting a 74 and losing all motivation to study after being so close to finishing, so I honestly haven't touched Becker in almost a year and don't even remember which areas are the big ticket ones to focus on. Any advice would be much appreciated.
