I failed AUD again with my second try. 🙁 Now I can study full time, so I am thinking to study AUD and FAR at the same time. For my previous exam experience, AUD simulation portion tested a lot of FAR knowledge. Is there anyone here also study two sections at the same time? Any advice will be very appreciated.

I am, lets see how it goes in October. I'm in a similar situation as you so I am doing both currently. I remember the first time I took AUD, I had a FAR simulation so there certainly is some sort of crossover between the two topics.

Thank you CPAHOPEFUL11!! are you full time studying? How do you arrange your study schedule for these two sections? When are you going to take AUD? Will you study deeply for FAR? I am thinking just simply go through FAR one time so I have a basic concept on it. I hope that will help on my AUD exam on the first week of Oct.

I wouldn't try to study 2 at the same time unless I had an extreme circumstance (like having to travel from outside the country to sit for the exam). If you're struggling with AUD already, why make things even more challenging? Just focus on one at a time.

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

I can study full time for the exam so that's why I'm able to study for both at the same time. I put in about five to six hours a day for FAR, and three to four hours a day for Audit. I've taken both in the past so it is a little different for me. If you haven't taken FAR yet and it is a brand new subject for you, I wouldn't take both at the same time.

I don't think it's about the time necessary, but about the amount of material that you have to retain, especially for FAR. I wouldn't want anything else taking up valuable real estate in my brain when preparing for that beast. If you can study full time, then move up the time line (such as 4 weeks of full time studying, instead of 8 weeks while working full time like I did) for each test by taking it sooner. Then tackle the next one. There's a much better chance for success that way.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

Thank you folks!!! your advice are very helpful..Just Purchased Ninjia MCQ yesterday. I think it is better than Becker because the explanation is more in details and easy to understand.
