Hi Team,

I was looking for inspiration today and came across the name of your group. I really like it. I don't know if I can post that often but it helps to know others are on this road as well. I currently work 3 days a weeks and study 3 days avgering 18 hours for those 3 days plus whatever I can get in during the week. I have been out of school for 10 years, am married and have a 5 year old daughter. Studying at night is nearly impossible. I vacilate between believing I can do this and thinking this is crazy. I have been studying since Jan. and plan to take FAR end of May. The problem is I will have to go back and relearn some of the stuff because I have forgotten it. I feel a lot of guilt because I can't be there for my daughter like I would like to and for having to rely on my husband to pick up the slack. Not sure how much longer I can do this but my goal is to pass this exam all 4 parts by the end of the year! BTW, I am using Yaeger which I like. I find the Wiley books to be comprehensive but overwhelming. Good Luck everyone...back to the books!

Those of you who took the exam on today, do you feel the simulations
within the study materials are sufficient to prepare? I failed FAR and
know it's because of the simulations.

I just took the exam today. I didn't feel as though any of the simulations were terribly difficult. The problem was trying to figure out how to navigate through one of them, and the freaking time crunch that you are under by the time you get to them. This is my first time taking this test, and it comes at you FAST.

Speaking solely from the test I just took, if you review and are up on the major concepts as well as the non-profit/government stuff for the simulations, normal review materials are fine. The research question was extremely easy.

Having said all of that, I'd put my life savings on a bet that I scored 60% or lower. I got open handed monkey slapped by this test for sure. I guessed on a good 25% of it. I will say, the concepts that I did know did not appear to tough. None of the test is like "rocket science", but there is just so much of it.

And one question that is nagging me now: As far as I could tell, my simulations did not ask me to write anything. I am now scared that I missed the tab at the top and I was supposed to write for one or mor of them. Can anyone confirm whether or not FAR has a writing portion?
