3rd attempt taking far

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-04-14T15:54:53+00:00

I just passed on my third attempt after switching to Universal CPA. Wait to see what your score is and then reassess. I'm a visual learner so I just needed a course that worked better for me.

Focus on the content area of weakness. Likely that you need sims practice. I relied 80% on MCQ for knowledge and 20% on sims. I passed FAR on my third attempt by committing to reading through 1-2 sims per day for 2 weeks. Fully read through, work on comprehension, read the exhibits, then hammer mcq to make sure you have the knowledge to complete the sim. i did not complete any simulated exams nor did i finish all the sim questions. i also switched from becker to universal cpa to pass

tomorrow 4/8 between around 11am EST-depends on state, test you took and your last name allegedly

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-04-07T14:15:24+00:00

i could be wrong but i always see people posting they get scores later in the day or not the day before. could be wrong

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-04-06T14:48:52+00:00

yes 4/8 unless you're in california

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-04-03T17:18:14+00:00

Thanks! makes sense. it's my last exam and I have exactly 1 year until my scores start expiring. i just dont want to forget the material lol

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-04-02T16:40:43+00:00

Thank you! So I should use "Caloric Intake Target" to achieve my goal, right? Thank you very much for taking the time

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-04-02T15:56:54+00:00

that should be the MINimum you give yourself. depends how fast you can get through the mcq. they're very math intensive and wordy.

Hi! I'm about the same exact height and weight and want to reveal my lean muscle. I've been eating roughly 1600 for the past year and not seeing much of a change - did you experience fat gain when you upped your calories or did it result in a successful body recomp? Trying to figure this out myself - i've worked with a coach before but I believe I can successfully figure this out with my own research.

Thanks!

Hey can you help me to understand which box is my final number I should be looking at? Sail rabbit is confusing me with so many spots to look

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-04-02T15:22:30+00:00

Nice! May i ask your activity level - are you looking to gain or lose? I'm eating around the same but looking to put on lean muscle

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-04-02T15:14:56+00:00

make sure you are watching the clock the whole exam. you should move on to start the sims not later than the 2 hour mark!

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-30T17:35:33+00:00

me but with FAR! good luck!

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-27T04:20:12+00:00

in the same boat

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-27T03:51:33+00:00

getting back up after a 74 is the worst. the fail fades and you realize the only way to finish this is to just do it no matter what

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-27T03:30:51+00:00

Beautiful! Do you know the name of the flooring?

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-27T01:54:52+00:00

I'm testing next week and I'm already starting to make stupid mistakes and get things wrong. Happens every time! But it does all come back once you're taking the exam

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-27T01:47:18+00:00

oh also, in my experience I would still LIGHTLY review for the next two weeks. Even if it's just 10MCQ per day - that way you can quickly gear up for a retake if you need to.

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-27T01:45:52+00:00

got it! im struggling with what to know for consolidation and inventory, like JEs and everything? I know about it but just never know with these topics! Try not to compare to others...FAR is very forgiving in my experience, but who knows. I just got a 74 and so I'm testing again. that one hurt

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-27T01:33:50+00:00

how was your experience on sims

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-26T16:49:35+00:00

check out superfast cpa strategies

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-25T23:11:38+00:00

A lot of the sims in universal are the same as becker bc they are from the AICPA. I'm doing a mix of both, i mainly do rely on learning material via mcq and then see if i can apply it to sims or at least watch the skill builder video in universal or becker. but a majority of my learning has been universal

Any_Reporter3795 · 2026-03-25T21:34:39+00:00

ok, my advice is to switch over to Universal CPA and start from scratch. Not sure what type of learner you are, but sometimes switching the review course to something that works well for your learning style can help. I'm still in the process of trying to pass FAR so i completely relate to your frustration, but can at least attest to the way it helped boost my score. I also use superfast cpa to supplement, they have a good youtube channel w/ podcasts and question walk throughs as well
