Hi,

I just found out I failed FAR with 70 (previous score of 61 in October last year).  This really stinks, because, first I loose the AUD paper I passed last May and second, I have to psych myself up for a REG test tomorrow morning.

I will start studying again in mid-January 2010 to take the test at the end of Feb 2010 and will like to know if there is anyone in the Northern CA's Eastbay/SF who can meet once a week to study.

Thanks,

thistime

I prepared from Becker material and practiced questions from the Wiley software. Please suggest a strategy or some changes in approach which could help in improving the timing and passing the exam.

Look back and compare your studying habits. What did you do the second time around that you did not do the first time. I am retaking Reg in Jan 2010 and one of the things I am changing is to put in 210%. I underestimated the exam, I put in a lot of study time the first three weeks and then I became a slacker. When I got my report I was stronger in the areas that I had invested more time in. Read other people's studying habits and try to figure out what works for you. I have Becker but this time around I am also supplementing with the yaeger cram and wiley questions. I read the Wiley book, watch Becker lectures, read the Becker chapter and then do questions. I like the Wiley examples and they help reinforce things. I can honestly say I have a better understanding of the material and the Yeager cram is just the icing on the cake. I like how Phil goes over questions. If I fail after doing all this then I dont know. Do as many MCQs as you can but also know the material....
