I got a 72 on AUD after just getting a 74 on FAR. FML & yes that was my second time taking those exams. I got a 55 on AUD and a 39 on FAR the first time I took them courtesy of a live review course 🙄

Try to complete your studying and review within 4-6weeks if possible. The longer your timeline the more you forget. Have 1 week of pure review at the end, you will find less time is more if you don't stretch it out!

That’s what I’ve been doing but I had to put a haul on it since it’s busy season. Ima try again come April and hopefully I can knock these two out because I’m tired 😩 and thank you! I deff agree that when I stretched out my studying, I couldn’t retain as much

What did you do differently to get such a high jump?! I also got low scores my first two times taking far :( TIA!

I don’t think it was anything I did differently. The review course sucked and didn’t help me. I passed REG and BEC by myself so it was just going back to what I did before. Mind you know I passed and got those higher grades while I was working and I got those lower grades while I was off during the summer. So yeah the review course sucked 😆

But how I study is during each MCQ I mark questions I got wrong, guessed correctly, or I feel like this will help me. After I’m done with the course I go back and use the flash cards for each module and do the marked MCQs. I skip the SIMs all together unless there’s a particular topic I need more help on.

I got a 74 on my AUD Becker mock and a 72 on the real exam and I never got lower than a mock. I think that exam was just harder. I passed REG with a 51 on the mock.

And I think I got a 55 on the mock for FAR when I got a 74 on the real exam
