Hi Mary Ellen...how is studying going?  Fill us in when you get a chance!

Hi Mary - saw your post regarding will end of Feb be enough time for FAR. Honestly, you'll be pushing it. While if you were doing nothing but sitting home studying I'd say of course, but if you work full time 2 months is way too short for FAR - I'm sure people can and have done it. I did BEC in 1 month, REG in 7 weeks and AUD in 2 months (failed after a month and had to wait another month to take it). I do think setting a goal date will help you stay motivated to study (I found this was the difference btw me passing and a friend failing often and then giving up) but what I found is for the most part you'll never feel really ready, and sometimes you can take it and feel ready and fail anyways. Make sure you watch all the lectures, read the book, take notes on both and do all the MCQ (I pretty much did all of them and not just recommended) 3 times including SIMS. Always review ones you missed, and don't just move on if the explanation they gave was awkward, look it up. I'd also do the test bank problems a few times, I actually learned a lot more from those and then felt much more confident going into the exam. Best wishes for your studying and test!

@MaryEllen - also - post here each day what your goal is - that always made me feel accountable for what I had written for that day...
