minicre, thanks for the tips! i completely agree with you eliminations is a really good way to get the distractors out of the way, and It's a good way to double check answers too. I think any test that requires calculations such as FAR I can deal with. For me, AUD is just a word game. During AUD test, many times I really struggled to figure out what was the question. And, if I don't get the question how could I give a correct answer...it could be those mcq were pretest...anyhow, hopefully I won't get many word games... at least last time, I didn't get any verbose, tricky wordy mcq's...but, i still need to figure out how to deal with word games just in case i encounter them during my FAR exam.

.....or if there is a review program out there who teaches FAR and the skill/strategy to answer the mcq/simulations? thanks so much....

Try Bisk FAR Intensive DVD (cram) with Robert (Bob) Monette. Bob's lectures are riddled with alot of mnemonics and exam tips and shortcuts.  In one word he is "excellent".

Romain, thanks for the recommendation. I agree Monette is really good. I got Bisk intensive for AUD and it really helped me to solidify and clarify all the concepts very nicely. For FAR, I decided to get Yaeger homestudy since I realized that watching lectures helps me to memorize and solidy my undertanding of the concepts faster and more easily. I was thinking to get Bisk Intensive too, but I don't want to get too many review progams going on. So far, my main book is Gleim since I used it the first time, Yaeger is my 2nd to solidy my knowledge and clarify things...so I hope this will be enough...
