Although I made a 74, I recently learned I need to wear glasses because I am farsighted.  So, perhaps if I had wore glasses that day...

Your score went from 58 to 74, that is a big jump. 

What did you different?

wildgirl...

I feel for you.  When I need a shot in the arm I think of your journey... it has inspired me. Lets try this thing one more time..

I just failed FAR with a 68.  My first time.

I studied using Becker and Yaeger HS. 

One thing I have to admit is Becker or Yaeger was not enough by itself.

I did notice that Becker was really good but left us all alone to figure certain things out.  Yaeger HS does go over MSQs so it really helped me to understand some concepts, but Yaeger is not really good in certain areas.

If I had to choose one of these I would go with Becker but for me to pass I think I need both plus more MCQs.  This time I am going to dig into the Glime MCQs.  I had this last time but did not have time, but I think I failed because of MCQs.

I am going to study 6 weeks and try this thing again.

I got the 58 when I used gleim MC only. I half a$$ed studied and didn't really understand how difficult the test would was (or concepts). I got the 74 when I used the method I told Wildgirl. I used Yeager teaching video and applied it to gleim MC. I didn't really study for the Not for Profit and Gov't sections the second time and it showed up on my score report. That's why I got the 74. The third try I put in the yeager video lecture for those two sections and did all the gleim MC as well as a quick overview of the rest of the study material and received an 85.
