Caitlin - Financial is the last exam I need to pass. I have taken it 3 times now and have failed with a 68,66,66. I know the material. I honestly have no idea what to do differently. I bought new material and your notes and flashcards. I have one more chance to take Financial in July/August before I lose credit for audit. Do you have any advice at all?



 



Dan - For your NINJA Notes I was thinking of reviewing them a week before I take the exam. Do you recommend looking at the notes at the end of studying or as I am working through the material in my review course?



 



Aaron - I lose credit for one section on Oct 31. Do I have to take and receive a passing score for my last section before Oct 31 to keep credit on my first part or do I have to simply have to take the last section prior to Oct 31 and receive a passing grade when the scores are released in November?



 



Anastasia - What is your advice on restudying BEC when you receive a 74?



 



Emily - I am stuck in the group of people who always score between a 70 and a 73 for all of my exams. I just can't seem to break the 75, and I just don't know what to do. Do you have any suggestions?



 



Nick - For FAR, what journal entries are a must to memorize? I want to study for this exam right and get it on the first try.



 



Betsey - I have to take FAR and AUD, as well as retake REG by November, after failing with a 69. Is this possible? What should I do to prepare better? Right now, I am using a video review course with the Wiley books. Please help!



 



Mike - I recently sat for REG for a second time. The first time, I got a 73. I just received my second score this morning, a 74. Is it worth having the second score reviewed?



 



Mary - What do I do when I pretty much did everything you suggested and still failed the exam again? I spent about 46 hours per week studying. Do you have any idea what I may have done wrong? I'm scheduled for FAR on July 23 and I want to make sure I learn from my mistakes.
