Hi all. I have just recently finished the final chapter in the FAR book. I am hoping to get some suggestions on how I should prepare for my final review. I am sitting for the FAR exam on Oct 14th which gives me roughly a month to review. During my studies I have done all of the lectures and hw assignments with grades ranging from 50's to 90's. I worked one simulation and i haven't yet worked any of the progress tests. I look foward in all of your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

What I did is after I went through the book once I took a deep breath and went through it again. Then I went through a 3rd time picking topics I had problems with.

So In a month time span you went through it twice? Including Lectures or just questions?

Samjo, A wise CPA told me this: Do the questions. So my basic study was doing practice questions. I spent 75% of my time on questions and the remainder reading the material.

I tried going through and taking notes on the reading material it was just way too time consuming. It took me 3 months for FAR and that was going through the book completely 2x and answering every question at least 2 times. Then you can add the final review. The final review only took me about 3 days.

Thank you for your advise. I will concentrate more on questions during my review.
