I dont know what to do. I sat for FAR in Nov and got a 68, and I just sat again and got a 70. I used Yaeger H/S the 68, and than Cram for the 70. I worked my a$$ off for this, and I feel like I am out of option for studying. Does anyone else have any suggestion on where to go next? I will email Yaeger, see if they have any ideas. But I dont know if I can go through Wiley again as the material in the book will be just to familiar, in a bad way.

HELP!!! This is my last section and I am so broken hearted and feel stumped.

Ugh, hon, I feel so bad for you.  Great to see ya in this window though.  I'm also taking this exam this window and perhaps REG for the end (I haven't even started studying for it)

I got laid off of work recently (thank you Bank of America) and I can honestly tell you that I spend about 5-6 days a week, 7-9 hours each day studying and I still feel like I can't do it.

I'm using Becker and the Wiley supplemental questions and pray that I get this done on this shot.  After spending all this time studying, I can't imagine what it would feel like to not pass.

There really is alot of luck involved as well, just 5 more questions and/or a combination of a few more Sim pts and a few MC's would of made the difference.

Was there a part where you felt a bit "weak" in?  How was the exam in respect to your study material?

At this stage, you're WAY too commited to slow down or stop.  You have to finish!  You're an inspiration to us all.

Thanks. Not passing is the biggest shot to your heart. You spend hours, and hours and hours studying.. Scarifice your friends and family, and only to find out it was for nothing... It's heartbreaking. This whole thing has been hard of my life...I will finish.. I just dont know what or how to study.

I didnt feel I had week areas, my results said SIMS and "presentations" and "concepts". SIMS I truely dont think matter much on passing, it's MCQ.

I dont know what to study next... What materials I need. I honestly thought I passed this one, I felt fine about the MCQ's and so-so about the SIMS.

Wow - it's devastating, and that's really putting it lightly.  I haven't even spent nearly as much time/money/aggravation and I'm already starting to wonder if the "benefit exceeds the cost" (pun intended).

For example;  there's a value to everything, I wonder WHEN we/I pass, would all of this be worth it? 

You need to get get at least 22-23 questions right on each MC book, which allows upto 7-8 questions wrong .... that's real hard!  If what I do on my Becker practice exams is any indication as to how I'll do on the real deal, I sure hope that they test F1-F5 only!!

Not only is it just the exam though, the anticipation, disappointment - it's a terrible process.  But then again, I can imagine how gratifying that passing feeling is.
