Hi All, I am planning to take FAR in early July. I have studied for 2 weeks, and just finished 2 and a half chapters. I feel I need to rearrange my review schedule and speed up my review since with this speed, I feel there is no way I can take the exam in early July.

So I was wondering anyone can help with a schedule like: for each chapter, how much time you should spend on? I am working full time. I ususually study for 3 hours per day M-F and 8 hours per day at weekends. I was also wondering what are the important and tough time consuming chapters need more time?

Are two weeks enough for final review?

Thanks a lot!!

I would like to read about people's input regarding the above as well.  I am currently cramming due to time constraints and an estimated breakdown of % tested for each becker chapter would be helpful.  I know i've gotten this info for my BEC and AUD exams.

I am on the same schedule basically.  Finished F1 and just started on F2 and my exam is scheduled for July 19th.  I have to be complete to stay within the Becker promise (the course is closed) by July 6th, so that gives me approximately 2 weeks to study it all before the exam.  I am already struggling with trying to get more than one chapter completed a week - and I work full time.  Plus throw in a week-long cruise to Alaska mid-June (already booked before I started the CPA process).  Yeah - I might be calling in sick a few days at work to try to stay on schedule!

Its comforting to see we are not alone!! I am struggling to finish more than one chapter in a week too. The first 2 chapters dont seem very hard, but the MC for chap 2 are very tough I feel. I almost give up doing the supplement questions. I feel the MCs for FAR in Becker are much harder than those in REG..

I am in chapter 2 as well. Very time consuming, but I think I need to move faster. 3 days per chapter should be ideal.
