Assumptions: you have enough hours (120 each) for BEC and AUD during the month of December AND you have to take both in January.

Question: How do you go about studying both for the same time? Go through BEC first and then AUD? Do both simultaneously?

FAR - 8/30/11 [60] | 11/23/11 [88]
REG - 10/28/11 [84]
BEC - 1/2/12
AUD - 1/21/12

@JimboSlice: If possible I would encourage you to do one at a time. There's no reason to do them together, it doesn't help you get it done faster. Considering you got a 60 on BEC the first time, you may want to slow yourself down (that's not exactly close to passing–you have some serious weaknesses on content).

If you're absolutely set on doing both for whatever reason (hopefully a good one), I would probably do one and then the next. Since you've already done BEC, you have some sort of background on it. Go through BEC in no more than 2 weeks. Then focus your time on AUD. Continue AUD until your exam. Intermittently during studying AUD, I would take some time (say, twice a week for 3-4 hours) to review and refresh your BEC knowledge (in addition to reviewing previous AUD and doing everything for that section). The toughest part of the exam is keeping everything fresh, since after going through hundreds of pages of material, the stuff you learned at the beginning can seem like you did it ages ago. Good luck to you!

BEC 86 (08/30/11)
FAR 84 (10/13/11)
REG 88 (11/08/11)
AUD 86 (11/29/11)
