Thanks for sharing your story.  I too have been in this game since 2011, with life curve balls getting me off focus; I have now found the time I need to knock this out. I took FAR in August and failed, plan to retake in October. 

I'm take FAR on 5/31. The last day in the testing window. Plus, I'm taking AUD on 5/10. No pressure there. Easy peasy.

Everything everyone was talking about on the exam is stuff that's already spoken about in lectures, exam material, and the like. They were able to narrow some stuff down though.

14 more days until your results come. My fingers and toes are crossed for the best for you. 

I just picked up some valuable insight on the FAR exam from the facebook study group. I bet the AUD study group will be the same. Are you on facebook?

Sounds good. And I hope Cinco de Mayo will be your celebration time. 

I know the feeling of coming close on the exam. I had a 74 on AUD and 68 on FAR. 

This schedule works for me. The immediate feed back for completing sections gives me some sort of sense of accomplishment. It was taking me weeks/months to complete a section when I was working. By the time I would finish the text, I would forget so much of  what I learned in the earlier sections. Making it seem like there would be an issue of retained information for me personally and the exam is cumulative. 

That is nice that you can work and study at the same time. It is like getting paid to study. Not a bad deal.

I hear you. The exam is that way after you leave that examination room. It all just disappears from the mind.

Yes. I am preparing for two exams at once. I am re-examining in both exams. It is a lot of work to cover but I am studying full time right now. Time will not always be on my side so I am taking full advantage of it.

I scheduled the FAR exam for 5/31. 

That is awesome that you feel good about FAR and that you moved through the MCQ's quickly. I hear that is the best way to approach the exam so you leave a lot of time for the SIM's. Were most of the MCQ's on Financial Statement Accounts or was it heavy in Specific Transactions? We are allowed to talk about that, right? I mean, we are not going into detail questions or anything. 

How was the FAR exam? I am taking AUD on May 10, 2015. I can let you know how it was after I take it.
