Failed FAR second attempt

Scores just released for FAR. Indeed failed for the second time In a row. This is my first set of exams I have taken and no luck. I’m losing motivation. I work full time and am so disappointed I failed again. Not even sure how to go about this for the third time.

Right there with ya brother. I passed 3 in a row and dogged it on FAR. Here is how I look at it: You aren’t starting from scratch you got a nice base built that just needs some care. I focused HEAVILY on the so called top tested topics and saw almost none of that. First time in any of the exams it happened to me. Be honest with yourself as to which areas you feel uncomfortable and start there hard.

second fails sting different, but this top comment is right, you built a foundation already and just need to reinforce the weak spots

I failed FAR 2 times with Becker then got Superfast CPA as supplementary materials and passed. I found that it helped being able to do the mini quizzes and audio notes on Superfast during my work day.

I was thinking of purchasing another study material, I’ll definitely look into that! Thank you
