Also everyones hours here are different.

I have studied for 3 hours and its been better than a 6 hour day. Depends on mood, retention, frustration, etc.

I got stuck on something once and it took me 10 hours to get through it, I can't stand not understanding something before moving on.

I'm the exact same way lovestink. If I don't understand something, I get frustrated, cuss, and then put my nose back in the book until I get it or it will bother me.

I constantly have to remind myself that it is impossible to memorize or learn every single detail of accounting.

Wow, how would you or someone only spend 125 hours for FAR and pass???
?? I guess unless you already know the material well, and 125 hours are just
to review.

3 week cram, was brutal. I was hurting from the insane amounts of caffeine I was taking in.

It took me 3 tries, and I'd say probably around 350 hours. It was by far my weakest area though.
