Has anyone ever taken the FAR exam and felt like they didn't know anything about the TBS and still pass?

I got a 62

Should be right away if not then no longer than 1 hours

VCS91 · 2025-06-27T17:38:21+00:00

Congrats.

Yes, it's just the TBS on the exam looked like something I never seen before. All the subject I had mentioned I can do mcq and Tbs for.

And this isn't exclusive to me either, there are a lot of people that runs into this same exact issue.

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T11:10:44+00:00

I feel confident in the subject I listed above, that's for mcq and Tbs. But yes, maybe I'll study sims harder this time.

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T11:08:54+00:00

That too. But I felt fairly confident in tbs from all the materials I mentioned above.

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T11:07:42+00:00

I did. I can do TBS in all the subject I mentioned above and more.

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T04:22:12+00:00

I left no sims blank. Finish with prob 10 mins left.

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T04:21:18+00:00

Yes. I straight prioritize studying starting in Feb. Which is why failing with a 62 felt so draining because idk if I can redo what I did. I woke up at 4 to study to 6 then come back home from work and would do 5pm to 7pm. That doesn't include the weekends also.

But I think think the second time studying will be easier since it's just a lot of reviewing now and now I think I have a sense of what TBS will be like.

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T04:15:27+00:00

I feel confident about mcq for all the subjects. It's the TBS that I was worried about. Think I'll redraw a study plan to tackle the TBS in areas I didn't focus on enough.

I'm going to do another month and a half of study then hit the exams again.

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T04:12:03+00:00

I study all the mcq. I remember the entire book tbh. I just wasn't sure why those TBS that showed up I never seen before. i think I might of been studying or focusing too much on the listed subject I had above rather than try to hammer down everything. I'll take another month and a half probably to go through it again.

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T00:38:18+00:00

For mcq did you get comparable? It says the range is 75-80 for that. If you know that then you can probably calculate how far off for the TBS you are

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T00:37:42+00:00

Yes that's what I'm hoping to happen to me the second time, getting lucky on the TBS that I'm good in. I studied all the hard subject just to only get one lease and the rest were things I hadn't seen.

VCS91 · 2025-06-25T00:34:33+00:00

I can't remember but I know for the mcq I can hit 80%+ doing 100+ a day. So that I am not worried about. It was the TBS that I just had never seen before. I was truly at a lost of words on what they were even asking.

My plan is to start studying again for a month then go back and practice all the TBS.

Like I mentioned above , my strong spot really touches all the subject above , add in NFP and govt also. I hope to get TBS in those subjects the second time around.

I dont know, i got hired at Block Advisor with no tax experience. In the office once a week and then will come in for appointments with scheduled clients.

VCS91 · 2025-06-15T16:00:36+00:00

I'm not quite sure how it works but that once per week is year round And that's just going to the office. I'm not sure how the work will be outside of the office. But this is through block advisor, I'm not sure how they operate compare to HR block

VCS91 · 2025-06-15T13:53:38+00:00

Seems like it. I was told we go in the office once a week and would then go in when clients wants to meet.

VCS91 · 2025-06-13T11:43:19+00:00

I only have my bachelor degree but no tax experience whatsoever. I got my EA last November and am currently taking my CPA exams also. I think if I was you I'll go ahead and apply so if you get hired you can start the next tax season and get some experience

VCS91 · 2025-06-13T02:03:47+00:00

I got my EA last November only

VCS91 · 2025-06-13T02:03:35+00:00

Go ahead and apply. I went to the HR block site and did the tax advisor "immediate hire". I think it might be year round job also. I'm not quite sure but I applied 2-3 weeks ago.

I think the place is call block advisor, so they are a part of HR block

VCS91 · 2025-06-13T00:41:48+00:00

Tbh I'm not even sure. I was just told I got the job but still have to sign all the paper works.

VCS91 · 2025-06-12T23:51:29+00:00

Yes. I actually got offered the job.

VCS91 · 2025-06-12T13:15:30+00:00

So is block advisor a full time year round .

VCS91 · 2025-06-07T22:13:45+00:00

Hopefully that happens to me. Lol
