Wow, just got done taking my FAR and it was a lot harder
than expected. I actually think it was harder than Beckers
Final Test, which is saying something. I am really feeling
down right now. I studied 10 weeks, most of which was
during tax season and am so tired. How did everyone else
feel?

I took mine last Friday and I must say it was very difficult (especially the 2nd and 3rd testlets). Not sure if I pass but I must admit I didn't really see any surprises.

Took FAR today, as many have said this section has a vast amount of material. Even if you think you know it, the recall of small details can eat away time. I felt prepared but there certainly was more of some topics than I expected, and none in areas I spent hours reviewing this last few days.

I do know if I had to write two communications I wouldn't have finished. I barely finished the last tab on the simulation and really didn't have time to review. So time management along with feeling prepared is essential. For those of you studying for the next window, I would say leave yourself enough time to review for a day or two before. After 8 weeks, I had just barely finished all the chapters and IFRS with a review and it was tight.

Since this is my last section, I feel like the waiting will be worst as I would love to not have to think about studying again.

So the waiting begins...

I just got back as well. the exam left out a ton of material that i spent weeks
preparing for but the only thing I'm proud of is that i completed the exam
unlike my first two attempts. i almost felt like giving up during the second
testlet and i had to remind myself never to give up and just finish strong. no
point in stressing now. the worst is behind us just enjoy the free time. any
idea when scores will be released.

It was a rough one. I honestly couldn't tell how I did. Very frustrating. I thought the first testlet covered a lot of really random stuff, and the 2nd and 3rd seemed difficult as well, so it's hard to tell if I just really did poorly and didn't know my stuff, or what. I know that I understand the underlying concepts, it just seemed really out there! idk. Either way, I guess it's pass/celebrate or fail/retake. And I won't know if I am done until the middle of the month. How stressful! gl all.
