I have planned to sit for the exam on May 2 and am still working on getting through some of the material right now. I am working through Govermental and Non-Profit right now which probably will take me through the week. I have one week then left for a final review. Further note that I have not worked through a single simulation or final review yet. Should I push it back? I was planning on taking Audit on May 28th which if I push back FAR there just might not be enough time to study in between. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would definitely consider pushing the test back, atleast a week and spend a week on simulations and a week reviewing.

I failed FAR in the last test window and I know it was because of the simulations.  Now that the sim's are worth 40%, they can't be avoided.  Hope that helps!!!!

Thanks for the advice. I am past the point of apparently rescheduling so I just will need to seriously buckle down for the next two weeks till the exam.

it definitely can be done. I did not do many practice sims, the Wiley testbank sims seemed super easy (to the point where I didn't even know I would have the codification as a resource until a day before the test, I just never needed a resource for Wiley's sims).

If you understand the concepts and know little tidbits of information that would help you speed through the multiple choice questions to where you have 1.5-2 hours for the sims, you can do them.

Good luck!
