Folks

Please help me get some clarity on this …I am so confused

I passed BEC in the Jan/Feb 2011window- the credit for which will be lost in Auggust 2012 incase I don’t pass the rest of the parts.

I just found out that I didn’t clear AUD , which I took in 2nd Qtr 2011 ! I really want to clear AUD this time …., so was planning to take it in the July /Aug 2011 window . but am a little worried that I am spacing out my exams too far and maybe I should to take 2 exams in one of the windows to be safe, but my only concern is that I work full time , and cannot do more than 28 hours a week ……… I always require atleast 2-3 rounds of revision as well. Are 2 exams in a window do-able especially FAR and AUD

Any strategies , suggestions ?

It sure is. With the right attitude and study plan you certainly can. Plan out your ENTIRE study plan down to the detail of every day. If you stick to it you'll be fine.

FAR: 84
AUD: 95
REG: 78
BEC: 88
ETHICS: 100

I took FAR and AUD last window and passed both. It's definitely do-able. Schedule one in the first week of the window and schedule the other one on the last week. That should give you enough time to study for both. Good luck!

I took BEC and FAR last window and passed both. I had already taken both of these parts in 2010 which helped a bit – but if you schedule out every second of the your study time it's absolutly doable! Good luck!

I would think so! I'm going to shoot for BEC & AUD this upcoming window. I plan on having a very detailed study plan to allow for it, though. Good luck!!!!

@Canson, yes it is possible. I took FAR on 2/28/11 and AUD on 4/1/11. Though not technically in the same window they were only 32 days apart.

You may notice that some members of this forum list their test dates and I've seen one, maybe more, that attempted all 4 exams in the same quarter. I tackled three exams this past quarter, AUD(4/1/11), REG(5/2/11), and BEC (5/28/11)…..all thumbs up including the FAR exam back in Feb.

What you have to remember is that this is all subjective. Your situation is different from mine and everyone else preparing for these exams. What is possible for you may not be for someone else on this board. If you are shooting for two exams in the same quarter, see if you can schedule your testing dates for the beginning of October and the end of November.

As others have already said, if you have the right mind set and schedule your time accordingly you can pass two sections in the same quarter. Best of luck, you can do it.

It's depends on how comfortable you are with the material. Some people can sit all 4 in one window (I sat Aud and Reg together last August) but you should do what you think you can manage. FAR is usually the toughest to prepare for due to the sheer volume and scope of the material BUT if you've prepared well so far (no pun intended) for it, I implore you to do AUD and FAR in the next window as they are closely related.
