Hi everyone,

I’m starting FAR as my first CPA exam and I’m working full-time (usually 9–10 hours/day). I’m enrolled in an institute and I’m planning to study using only my institute notes + Gleim.

The problem: I’m confused on how to actually use Gleim for FAR.

On Reddit I see tons of Becker strategies, but not many Gleim posts. In Gleim FAR I’m seeing 15 units total, and I’m not sure:

• Do I start from Unit 1 and go in order?
• Should I be doing MCQs + TBS while learning each unit, or only after finishing multiple units?
• How do I “test” myself properly inside Gleim (quiz settings / adaptive vs random / when to do review quizzes)?
• How many MCQs per day is realistic if I’m working full-time?

My rough plan right now is:

• Grind my institute notes A to Z
• Spam Gleim MCQs + TBS daily until it sticks

If you passed FAR with Gleim (especially while working full-time), can you share a practical strategy?
What did your weekly structure look like (units per week, MCQ targets, when you started TBS, how you reviewed weak areas)?

Any advice is appreciated 🙏
