i am still on the becker free trial and i don't feel like I am receiving all of the information. i'm choosing to do FAR first but haven't officially scheduled any of my exams. I am feeling frustrated because when i get to the MCQs after the modules, the info in some of the questions were not covered in the module. is this normal?
