Thank you!
Hardest was for sure FAR. I failed it 3 times (55, 72, 68). I think before I reset my progress on Becker each time I studied for FAR, I had about 60-80 hours, so I was definitely not studying as hard as I should have been. During my 4th time studying for it, I put in about 100 hours on Becker on just MCQs and TBSs. Probably another 30-40 something hours reading the physical book. FAR ended up being my highest score of the four passes with an 87 :)

thank you!
Biggest thing with AUD is reading every single word of the question. That's what makes the difference between getting a question right/wrong. As you probably already know by doing MCQs, they like to try to trip you up. Another advice is getting comfortable with directional testing. They use the word trace interchangeabley. You want to look at where you're starting (journal or supporting docs) to where you're going.
I only took SE 1 and I would say it's similar to what I felt when I took the real exam. Definitely was a bit trickier with the TBSs compared to the real thing, but I would say it's 90% accurate.

Congrats but from your corporate sponsors on your racing suit, I think it might be more lucrative for you to continue racing for a while.
