vvs_cpa my study plan was what Becker teaches: view lectures, review it and do flash cards and do mcq's and sims. Why did I failed?

Because I have a ft job plus two kids and I cram last two weeks reviewing, no sleeping, my daughter got sick night before the exam, I was exhausted up all night and by the time I got to the question # 50's I was not reading clear so I did horrible on the mcq's.  I failed.

Practice as many mcq's as you possible can until the exam.

Good luck

Thats exactly how I felt last time I didn't pass.  So I dropped BEC then and got back onto FAR.  Well, I got closer.  ;)  I think part of my problem is completely blowing off the research question.  I don't know what I'm missing there, but can never seem to find what I need.  I have them time though.  I usually finish with at least 30 min.  I plan to hit it hard for BEC in two weeks.  Then I just applied for my NTS for FAR retake.  I am planning to do that around end of April.  I don't want to give myself too much time to study and I then start forgetting everything. 

I'm just trying to decide if I should keep REG at the end of May or put it at the very last day of my nTS on July 1.....

I was thinking about switching materials, but obviously if I am that close, I think I just need to pay more attention.  I was sick on the day of the exam and almost fainted in the room, but thats no excuse.  I should have passed.  I think I just distracted while studying...not doing enough mcq's because I get bored...  I used Roger and Wiley for study.

I use Becker .. it may sound stupid but I am thinking start "fresh" a quasy-reorganization of my notes!  I will start studying and taking new notes. The ones I prepared were poor I will also do 1 hour of  mcq's every single day.

I just applied for FAR and AUD. As soon as my NTS comes in I will schedule both one for Apr/ FAR and one for May/ AUD and study study study..

Good luck this time .. you are very close :)
