We are in the same boat! Hows your prep going? Any study
plan you are following?

I think you can its do-able to cover those 3 chapters in the next 8 days.
But, if you don't feel ready, then I wouldn't take it on November 30th. If
you haven't already, I'd schedule some time off work now to maximize
you study time. If you come to the 24th (since you want to reschedule
before the 25th) & still don't feel like you going to get through
everything, then go ahead and reschedule.

Only nice thing nice is you do take it and the 30th & God forbid you don't
pass then you still have the rest of December - April to study up a bit
more & pass before your credit expires. Cuz if you take it in January, you
won't find out your score till mid to late February & if you don't pass you'll
have less time to study. Plus, you'll be under extra pressure with not only
busy season but also stressing about your credit expiring.

I know it sounds bad but even if you did take it in November & fail at
least you'd get a really good idea of what the FAR exam is like.

There a lot of things to consider. But just study hard for the next few
days & the see how you feel.

My plan is to try and survive the next 6 weeks. I work during the week and can only contribute about 2.5 hours per weekday to studying. Weekends are good for 6-12 hours. I was setback a week when I rec'd my 71 failing grade on BEC about 10 days ago. I was very disappointed. Decided to continue with FAR prep rather than stop FAR and pick up BEC.

None of this has come easy for me. I find that I am always require above average amounts of study time in order to get past these tests. There is no way I will take this test 11/30. Definitely the first week in Jan.

What type of routine have you been following? I am using Becker and listening to the lectures, doing the MC's, taking my own notes, and then listening to lectures again. It's a drag.

As I dont have a lot of time, I am listening to lectures
and reading beckers text once, solving MCQ's and revising
the chapter once again. BEC was tough for me too, I failed
at 74 and then passed at 75 :)
FAR is very vast and when I am on chapter 7 I dont remember
chapter 2!!
Wish you good luck!
