Hi All,

I need to know which exam would be passable between BEC and REG if I have only 4 weeks to study for. I have BA in Economics.

Regards

AUD - 82p
FAR - 69, 72, 75p
BEC - 09/2012
REG - 10 or 11/2012

I would say BEC hands down… Learning that tax stuff will take more than 4 weeks to grasp… With that said, I know ppl that struggled with BEC but passed REG with 6 weeks of studying… Well they barely passed REG but a pass is a pass.

BEC is definitely your best bet. Obviously with a BA in econ you shouldn't have trouble with that part of the section if you just do a quick review. REG can get pretty complex for only 4 weeks.

AUD-Failed (Waiting for Score)
BEC-PASSED (First try)
REG-Failed (Retake February 2013)
FAR-Failed (Retake January 2013)

BEC for sure. I was an Econ major as well and I found BEC to be the easiest for me to grab concepts in a short amount of time. Good luck!

BEC it is then.

Thank you all for quick responses. great forum!

BEC any day.

I'm currently studying REG and I feel like I'm learning Latin or some crazy foreign language. Corporate tax can suck a fat one.
