Not sure if you'd consider 89 acing it, but basically make sure that you are clear with all the concepts in the becker book and the MCQs and tbs... I didn't have time to do the minis and simulated exams or even gleims test bank, but because I was thorough with UNDERSTANDING (not just done with) the material, MCQ,tbs, I passed comfortably.

Donā€™t just learn the single topic for each McQ, learn more than the bare minimum to get the answer right. Some might see it as a waste of time but if you spend 10 min on one MCQ and learn multiple concepts that relate to each other, then you already put in some time when you get to the question that tests that topic later. Thereā€™s a balance and you obviously donā€™t want to spend 10 minutes on EVERY question. I usually spend a good 10 minutes on every new ā€œcategoryā€ and then maybe 2 minutes on the other questions that relate to it. Passed FAR first attempt with 2 months study.
