I need to schedule Audit and BEC for this testing window.

To start, working full time… so can study like 30 minutes on train (hour total) and an hour or 2 more, at best, every night. So I get like 2 – 3 hours done daily. The weekends are obviously way more.

I am going to finish Audit lectures this weekend. That gives me September 20 onwards for going back through and then reviewing. I can take the test either October 12th or October 19th.

Then I study BEC and plan to take that at the end of November.

I still have REG and I guess I could plan to study for that right after to take it by January 3rd (NTS expires, but don’t care, went with AUD and BEC instead on purpose).

So, I would go with the earlier date… but will this give me enough time? I hope I can go back through the material the end of September. This would be rereading everything, doing my marked questions, and some pregress quizes. Then have another 11 days to review again… hopefully that being a more review review, since I’d know things well.

But I have to consider that I’m working and can’t study much on weekdays.

Should I go safe and do Oct 19th?

Is that enough time for BEC?

And ultiamtely, disregards REG on Jan 3rd since don’t care about the money. I just want to pass AUD and BEC. I can always get another REG NTS.

I personally think that since you are done with the lectures (or will be by the 18th), the the 12th is very viable. that way you can schedule BEC for 11/23 if you like that date and that would be plenty of time to study for BEC.

That would leave 6 weeks for reg which i think is plenty. I used 7 weeks to study reg and it is my only passing score, six weeks lectures and questions one week final review. But if you can double up one week like ch 1 and 2 in the same week and then go from there you will have a 1 week review also. Fully able and ready to schedule a test for jan. 3rd!!!!

FYI, I studied 2 hour commute (but feel asleep constantly on the train lol), 40 minutes during my lunch hour, a few hours everynight, some hours on Saturday and Sunday.

IL - BECKER=============> DONE
REG - 80; FAR - 65,79; AUD - 53,78; BEC - 71,68, 75 (used becker and yaeger for 3rd BEC)Ethics 95

I'M GONNA CELEBRATE AND LIVE MY LIFE SAYING AYE OH BABY LETS GO!!!!!

Thanks for suggestion. I think that is probably the best way to go. And I was really doubting being able to do REG at all… but now I'm thinking I might just be able to do it! Of course REG will be tough to cram in just 6 weeks… but possible. I will have Thanksgiving weekend to perhaps even just bang out at least 3 of the chapters by the start of December. That'd give me 4 chapters throughout December, with 1 week of final review…

It'll be tough. And I could fail, but was winging that test anyhow. The worst thing that could happen would be I have to take it in another window and as long as I pass the other sections, I'll feel comfortable doing that.

Plus, I haven't gotten my FAR grade back yet… so might need to take that still. So, AUD earlier gives me time to take FAR in this window (time was my issue, not knowledge, so wouldn't take too long to review), and maybe BEC too (just to try and cram for it so don't need to take it in 2011…).
