Well, its time to shine again. I’ve spent the last 10 weeks studying for this section of the exam, dubbed as the toughest of all of them. The passing rate seems to be on par with all of the others, however.
I’ve read 780 pages of the Gleim FAR book, answered 1797 questions, and have worked 47 simulations in various forms. My average score on EVERYTHING is an 84%, whereas with the last section it was an 82%. Considering I scored a 97 on the last test, even if I eliminate the entire difference between the final and prep scores, I’ll still come in 9 points above a passing grade.
All indications are positive. I feel ready to go. There is SO much information, that I know going that I do not know it all. But I know the vast majority of it. I believe as long as I think clearly and logically and not get overwhelmed by the ticking clock, I think this will be a one time only test.
But…..you never know.
Either way, I am hanging my hat on FAR for at least 2 months. After taking a couple days off this upcoming weekend, I am going to jump into the BEC section and sit for it before the end of this testing window. The score for FAR will not be released until mid November. If the news is bad, I’ll fire up for a retake during Dec and plan on doing it first thing Jan 2010.
Its always best to hope for the best and plan for the worst and that is what I’ve done.
Wish me luck. I’ll post a damage report in the next day or two when I get another opportunity.
