Dwarmstrong, good luck tomorrow. You must either be naturally blessed with exceptional test taking skills, or you know more material than you think you do.
JRDCPA, good point about losing credit. Yes, there are worse things than me failing FAR the first time. But there are, in the grand scheme of things, even worse things than losing credit too.
I just finished the second Becker Final Exam. I'm hoping these final exams are not indicative of how I'll do on the real thing. While I didn't feel like the questions were too overwhelming, I apparently didn't know what I was doing, since I averaged a 77 on the mcqs on Exam 1, and, get this, 64 on Exam 2! Am I doomed?

Ok, there's something screwy about the Becker final exams. In going
over the second one, some of my answers that Becker marked as incorrect
are correct. Even Becker says so in the answer and explanation. But
they still graded it as wrong.
And a couple questions had explanations of the answers from the
previous question embedded in the explanation of the answers for the
current one.
And there were a few where I know Becker's answer is wrong.

I have never used the final exam product. I thought the progress tests are the best for last minute review.
What I would do is start a progress test with sections 1-3, then, end the test. That way, I can see all of the correct answers. I would go through all of them and understand why the answer is what it is. I do that once. Then the same for 4-6, and 7-9.
Then, I did a progress test for 1-4 and 5-9. Then, I did the whole thing a couple times the exact same way. You will see some problems more than once and some problems only once. I think it is more beneficial to see the question and the correct answer combination together, instead of seeing the question, then thinking for what the answer is. I wish there was a way you could do that for all MCQ questions.
Anyone have all of the MCQ's copy and pasted with accompanying answers??? :) :) :)

I've studied for three months an my exam is tomorrow November 14. This
week has been extremely frustrating because after three months of studying
I've forgotten almost everything! Like amnesia. Hopefully luck is on my side
tomorrow.

You should probably get the updates for the simulations and final exams. See if that helps.
