Ok, so the last time I tried to take two tests within the same window, I did terribly. Granted, I had a lot going on. I don’t have much right now, but I’m still worried.

I have scheduled REG for the beginning of October, and FAR for the end of November. Someone please tell me I will be ok….

I am studying for both using Becker and Wiley (question bank only). I also have CPAExcel but haven’t used it for a while, since I failed BEC horribly the last time I used that (and only that) to study. Also, I have Jeff’s NINJA notes. Any advice? So far, with Becker, i’m not doing so well in Individual tax. I plan on going through CPAExcel to see if maybe I can get help with what I don’t understand through there. I am really worried b/c my Becker software expires in December, and if I don’t pass these tests (incl. AUD-waiting for score now) by February, I will lose my BEC credit.

I am open to suggestions for other books to look at for reference (I bought ‘Auditing for Dummies’ to help me understand topics that I couldn’t understand from Becker).

I guess what I’m looking for here is any words of encouragement and any advice/tips/help etc.

Please help me turn my frown upside down!!

BEC - 65 (4/10), 83 (8/10)
AUD - 64 (10/10), 73 (2/11), 93 (8/11)
REG - 47 (7/09), 80 (10/11)
FAR - 84 (11/11) Texas. I'm done!!!

It depends on if you took them already or if this is your first time? Are you working? Are you starting today? That is alot of material to cover I wouldnt do it unless I took it already and I had a 71-74.

I've only taken REG two years ago, but I haven't taken FAR. I am not working at all right now, so the only thing on my plate is study study study. I started studying 2 days ago…

Snick, do you have little ones? I would think that if you can give yourself 100% to study of course you can do it, look at kb24, she took all FOUR in one window (granted she had been preparing longer, but still, 4??) and passed each and every single one of them.

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

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

I just got married 2 months ago, live with my in-laws, no kids, and no other responsibilities. I just have 3 weekends of travelling (weddings, etc.) for the next 3 months. I just studied for AUD last month, and was able to study for a good 40-50 hours each week.

BEC - 65 (4/10), 83 (8/10)
AUD - 64 (10/10), 73 (2/11), 93 (8/11)
