I originally scheduled to take FAR tomorrow but realized that i would not be able to study sufficiently, so i decided to take my BEC retake instead. I didn’t cancel FAR because I would have to pay for it. They are both schedules for 9;00 am. I wonder if they would let me take FAR after my BEC just so i can get an idea of what it will be like so the money wont totally go down the drain.

AUD-70, 71, 85
BEC-63, 76
REG-77
FAR-76

mla: I didn't think about the Thanksgiving angle. If they both were scheduled at 12:30pm, I could see them allowing her to come in early to take the shorter test which would leave her the entire time for the longer test. Since they are both scheduled for 9:00am, however, it may be tougher to get them to let her stay late. Good point!

Early isn't a problem at all; however, late can be. So, if you could show up early for your 9:am and get it done before you start the 2nd one ,that might work, but not late. My Prometric center was super super helpful and accomodating; however, for my last exam, I had car trouble and got logged in to the computer about 28 or 29 minutes past my appointment time. As they were rushing me through check in, they said that if it was more than 30 minutes past my appointment time, then the system wouldn't let them launch the test. 😐 Given how accomodating and awesome my people were, I'm pretty sure they were telling the truth and at least as of a year ago, they're unable to launch an exam more than 30 minutes past the time (so 9:30 in the OP's case). However, as others have said, earlier isn't a problem. Maybe if you could go at 8 and do FAR from 8 to 9:20 just to get a feel for it, then do BEC for real? However, that would make your brain somewhat worn out from FAR, which could be bad for BEC which is the only one that really counts for you.
