Know the feel, failed audit 2x before passing at the 3rd. Its literally just mcq unfortunately. Caffeine and doing mcq is the best bet.
Far is a different beast unfortunately, gonna take my 3rd shot next month.

Most of it is just putting in the time. If you're still in school, just force yourself to do it. I regret putting it off

I felt the same way exiting the FAR exam. I wasn’t prepared as should have been. 😭

Did yall pass?

You’re either not valuable to your company and/or your job isnt that important if you’re able to take PTO and not at least send some e-mails.
