I have about three weeks left for the FAR test. First time taking it and was wondering what the best way to use the remaining time would be. I went through most of the topics and am in the processing of memorizing them. Currently using Wiley for MCQs and Sims. Studying around 2 hrs during weekdays and as much as I can during weekends. Does anyone have hot topics I should be focusing on or any suggestions to do something else?

Practice the parts you find most complex so that you don't trip up on them during the exam. Passed this way. Also, do a last minute cram session on the exam day.

A few months ago I totally blew a third date with a guy I really liked during a completely hellish period where I was billing 200+ hrs each month. Would it be weird to text him again now?

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
