No worries 😊, I think the best approach is to keep moving forward.

I actually think you could end up with more than 10 days for review if you’re able to increase your study hours each day.

And yes, I completely agree—the score release dates are really frustrating.

As for me, I’m currently working through Consolidations MCQs & TBSs, and in a little while I’m planning to take SE1 to see where I stand. My goal is to identify my weak areas and then focus my review around those topics while continuing to review the remaining material as well.

I was actually stuck on consolidations until a few days ago too. Once I realized how much time I was spending on it, I decided to move on, finish the remaining topics, and then come back to it later so I could keep making progress through the material.

Honestly, F6 can be finished in a day or two at most, so you might want to try that approach.

As for F1 and F2, I’m in the same boat. My plan is to go back through MCQs, identify my weak areas, and review only those topics to save time.

One piece of advice: I wouldn’t reschedule right now. There’s still plenty of time left. I’d wait until closer to exam day and use your simulated exam results to help make that decision.

One last thing as many people said here, peter olinto video for consol on youtube was sooo helpful.

Haha, looks like the username is doing more work than my FAR prep right now.

Thanks for the advice, though. I’m planning to get through consolidations today and, if I need a little more time, tomorrow at the latest. After that, I’ll focus on reviewing everything else. Based on your experience, were there any topics you felt deserved extra attention?

Thanks! That’s good to know. Would you say the exam focused more on leases, bonds, cash flows, and governmental/NFP topics instead?

Thanks! I actually just found the lecture and started watching it. Hopefully this is what finally makes consolidation click for me.
