You can't pass the exam by just covering all the material.  You really have learn it.  Give yourself enough to study for the exam and really master the material.  You can't master everything, but if you really know a lot of the sections, you should be able to pass.  My husband made below a 50 the first time he took FAR, and that's what I told him.

You're right!! i'm gonna have to know this stuff inside and out. i scheduled the REG and BEC retake for Oct. i'm currently taking FAR scheduled classes but i'm going to put it on hold and concentrate on REG and BEC for this coming window. i'll still go to FAR class but i'm not touching hw until i take REG and BEC.

looks like it's going to take everything i got to just barely pass but i guess a pass is a pass whether i get a 75 or 95

I just finished a Yaeger lecture on Pensions, and at the end of the lecture he goes, "Ok everyone, do the questions we just went over, review your notes, and study your brains out!"  Haha.. Some people don't need to study their brains out to pass this exam, but some of us do!  And we just gotta do it and be grateful that we even pass!

I usually get home from work around 5:30. Eat dinner, take a nap and try to
be studying by 7. I usually shoot for 3 hours per night, but it certainly
doesn't always work out that way. A basic week for me:

Sat - Becker review class (8 hours)
Sun - Study approx 5-6 hours
Mon thru Thurs - Study 3 hours
Friday - relax before starting the cycle again on Saturday morning

I'm ready for this to be over...
