    @Gator – That's about how long I took. I dabbled here and there but didn't really hit it until the last three weeks before my exam – and not remotely intensely until the week before. I went through flashcards and hit the test bank, using the book for reference as needed. It's not fun, and I had to take a day or two off of work to pull it off, but it's doable.

    I did it in three weeks also while working full time. I was completely focused, and there were no days off (even Thanksgiving) or other goof off time!

    @Herbieherb …Working full time, how many hours have you studied daily? Have you studied that time or other time for 2 subjects in parallel? Thank you.

    Easily doable if you took and understood Econ undergrad. The written comm should be a gimme so it's just a MCQ test.

    I'm debating trying it and reviewing FAR in December for January retake. I saw my 72 this morning. Not sure if I should do it or just review FAR for two months?

    If you're not good with formulas then I wouldn't suggest attempting BEC in 3 weeks. If you're good at memorizing and utilizing formulas then go for it. It's still a lot of information and you see many people on here that didn't pass because of all the curve balls it throws at you, but I didn't think it was bad. I'm a business major, I can write well, and I like formulas. If not, then I suggest restudying FAR and taking it at the beginning of January, then you could knock out BEC at the end of February.

    I did BEC in about 3.5 weeks while working full time. I did not study every day and went through about 75% of the questions once. I got a 74. Don't let that happen to you. I think it's definitely doable if you are serious about it. I have my re-take 11/29!

    I will sleep on it. I don't want to lose everything I learned in FAR. Obviously I didn't learn enough. Haha!

    Yep. That's what I did. Most of my time was spent pounding NINJA MCQ. I did it working full-time and studying about 20 hours a week.

    I'm going to try it as well. Just found out my BEC credit will expire on Friday since I didn't pass REG again 🙁

    Will take BEC at the end of Nov and retake REG beginning of next year. FAR has a lot of information, but you did pretty well for your first time. Try again and you should nail it.

    BEC-61,68,75
    FAR-63,63,58,77
    AUD-64
    REG-59,64

    When can I get my life back?
