I have failed in four sections with the range of 65-70. Time allocated for each section is 6 weeks, 3-5 hours religious study everyday. Please help me boost my score so I could pass. I am weak with communication. I need tips. Thank you.

I would say just based on your time alllocated to each section that you probably need to spend more than 6 weeks for each of the sections. It actually took me 12 weeks to study for FAR (3 hrs per day and 8 hrs on the weekend), 9 weeks for REG, 8 weeks for BEC (the 2nd time around) and 10 weeks for Aud. As you can see my scores aren't high but enough to get me pass the 75 mark. Make sure on your review materials you are getting in teh mid 80's on ALL your practice questions.

Hope this helps!

Thank you CPAwishful. Congrats!

I am using textbooks of Wiley 08 and Bisk 09 with the above scores. Do you think I should upgrade my materials?

I think your Bisk 09 should be good but depending on what you are using the Wiley 08 section for, you might want to upgrade that one.

You may want to check your local library. Mine has Wiley '09 for each section.
