I pass FAR and squeaked by on AUD using Ninja only.
I’ll see how I feel after REG, but despite the short comings of Ninja I feel like their study plan seems to be working for me. It seems like Ninja is a “pass the test” type study program vs actually trying to teach you the material.
I followed the “NINJA” plan and that includes repetition of MCQ’s and I started doing SIMs about a week before and up to the day of my exam (should have done earlier/more SIMS).
I know it seems like a waste of time, but I think it has helped me to do the “re-write your notes” part. My own notes weren’t great, so I just copied the “Ninja notes” by hand a full week before exam day and that helped me kind of bring it all together and see some topics I was lacking on.
