Is paying for all 4 parts at once a dumb idea?

    I screwed up the form and selected all 4 parts. I’m too lazy to go and resubmit the correct form.

    All 4 parts is about $750 total in California. I don’t expect anything to delay my studying and test within the next year. I plan to finish all 4 parts by April/May 2012. First exam should be around November 12th.

    What’s the worst that could happen.. that’s what I’m asking.

    I paid for 3 at once, but didn't get to one of them (FAR) before the nine-month deadline, so I had to pay for it a second time.

    AUD - 95, BEC - 85
    REG - 85, Rawrrrrrr FAR - 88

    Hahah I was just thinking the same thing mla.

    I guess if money is no object to you, then it's not a big deal. πŸ™‚

    Hmm…worst case scenario…

    They email you that you really messed up the form and it's really $750 PER part

    I don't even want to say this πŸ™‚ but let's say, hypothetically, it is possible to fail the exam, well…that happens and this study material was of no help at all, so there's a need to purchase other study guides and then on the day scheduled of each exam, there's a hurricane, blizzard, tornado, and unannounced holiday so test center is closed unexpectedly

    Ok I'm getting carried away here and I think this studying is really getting to me-

    The worst that can probably happen is that you wasted some money, and the material didn't help you enough. Unfortunately, the not helping enough part sometimes only comes out after one takes an exam.

    But many people buy all four parts together and works out really well, so I don't see any major problem…then again, there's the money factor people mentioned above, and type of review program.

    Rethink and then smoke, or you will forget what you needed to think about lol. To answer your question, yes it is a dumb idea to pay for all four sections at once!

    nah, don't be a coward. 4 parts in 6 months isnt that bad if youve got free time.

    REG - 81

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a rule that you can't retake any section until you've taken all the sections on your NTS and have results?

    @labruin06, no that's not true. You would have to get a new NTS for the section you failed. You'd keep your old NTS to schedule the remaining sections you have not taking.

    Even if you pay for all your tests at the same time, they each have a different NTS.

    FAR 4/1/11 - 89
    AUD 4/15/11 - 85
    REG 4/29/11 - 80
    BEC 5/13/11 - 85

    @kb24

    I don't think you get separate NTS forms, but your single NTS will have a separate “launch code” for each part that you booked together. I booked REG and AUD together and only got 1 NTS, which I'll need to bring to both exams.

    @tumbler

    You only get one form with the multiple exams listed, but the launch code is the NTS number for that particular exam.

    FAR 4/1/11 - 89
    AUD 4/15/11 - 85
    REG 4/29/11 - 80
    BEC 5/13/11 - 85
