Hmmm I thought Gleim was supposed to be more difficult than Becker.  I'm feeling less and less confident as the exam date approaches...

I used Gleim for both BEC and FAR and felt it was overall harder than the actual exam.

Nimrod, I wouldn't worry about the test. You seem to over-prepare as I do, you will be surprised how easy the exam actually is when you over-prepare for it. Its just that most people are not studying full-time, and most pass. If you study full time the tests are really no problem.

But after taking 3 tests and being suprised how relatively easy they are compared to how most people make them seem, I still think I won't pass and still over worry.

I haven't started using gleim yet...just got it the other day but i will let you know how I feel it compares to the wiley software.

 

But as for Gleim being harder than becker, in the FAR July/Aug thread there was some mention by multi people that gleim tends to be harder than becker, and wiley tends to be harder than gleim.  Take it how you want to people go into the test confident with scores that are in the mid to high 60s on becker tests, and so if you are hitting the same scores on wiley and gleim, you to should be fine...but than again thats just one perspective not necessarily true or a substitute for putting in the hours.
