I just got my Notice to Schedule my test date for the FAR. I need some advice on when i should schedule the test date. I am thinking of taking it late April, would that give me enough time to study, my second option is taking it in May. I work full time so I am afraid I might need more time. Please help!!!!

Thank you.

6 weeks or so from the date you begin studying should be plenty of time. Most of us work full time, some have kids as well. I work f/t, was working on my masters while I was studying and have 2 kids. But you do have to put a lot of time in during those 6 weeks. Good luck.

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

Thanks for your advice mla1169. Can I ask you which review did you use? And how was your study schedule?

Thanks.

I am not a good example for anybody. I did this the HARD way. For FAR I only used cpareviewforfree.com and my old textbooks.

For BEC and REG I used the wiley books.

For AUD I used the wiley books, the wiley test bank and Jeffs ninja notes.

I studied a LOT, at least 2 hours a day during the week at least 6 hours each on Saturday and Sunday. And it was brutal and I didn't get much sleep and my grades in my M.S. program suffered a bit, and my kids ate far too much fast food 🙂
