    I think I’m losing it..I was scheduling 4 exams in one month! I previously took REG and BEC and failed by couple points each. But now I’m thinking that trying to do all 4 in one month is too much. I will not be working and will only be concentrating on my exams. But is this possible?

    Has anyone done this before? Any advice??

    I had three retakes scheduled for this window we're in now but then moved the third. I will be honest – I took AUD and missed it by three points and then missed REG by two points. I then retook AUD Oct 1st and retook REG Oct 13th. I had a FAR retake scheduled (63) for Nov. 25 and moved it to January because I was too wiped out from two. I also work full-time with a family and the two close together just totally killed me. (For the record, totally worth it if tomorrow shows I passed both). :))

    Long story short – I was done after two this window. Moved third to Jan.

    Yes, I've seen people here do it but in addition to having the hours of study time to put in, I think those people were exceptional studiers who absorb material quicker than most. If you've already taken and failed 2 exams, figure spending at LEAST as many hours as you studied before for each.

    Honestly I think its unwise to try 4 in a month.

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

    When will you be starting work again? Do you really have to do all 4 in one month? Think about the additional cost if you fail sections because you didn't give yourself enough time to study. Also, I too study full-time but you can easily get distracted. I stop and walk my talk, hang out with my friends etc. So even if your not working you have to be honest with yourself. You won't study every waking minute of everyday.

    4 exams in one window?!!? I don't think there is a greater punishment than that.

    BEC-PASS
    REG-PASS

    LOL he said 4 tests in one month not one window. I took FAR 8/31, REG 10/18 and I have BEC 11/8 and AUD 11/29. I am totally burnt out and running really tight on time for BEC. One month is insane.

    FAR - 71, 68, 74, (8/31/14) 78 ✔
    REG - 67, 71, 71, (10/18/14) 78 ✔
    BEC - (11/29/14) 86 ✔
    AUD - 73, (4/4/15) 86 ✔

    I can't believe this is over! 2 years and 3 months..

    @aspiringcpa2014 – I go back to work in Dec. I just wanted to take them to try to get them over with no specific reason on taking all 4 in one month. But I do agree with you I have to be realistic with myself.

    @Rocky123 – No..4 test in this month of November.

    @CPA soon – Yes I'm starting to think one month is insane and given I havent passed the ones I previously took last year (REG and BEC). Got really close but didnt pass 🙁

    I just really want to get this over with once and for all and since I got soooo close with REG and BEC I was thinking of giving myself a week for each. But idk if I'm being unrealistic with all this and getting desperate to just finish.

    Do you have all 4 of your NTS? Pickings are getting very slim at prometrics now. Especially if you want to schedule 4 of them.

    AUD-PASS
    BEC-PASS
    REG-PASS
    FAR-PASS

    I'm basically doing 1 a month and I am beyond burnt out, and I'm paranoid I'm going to bomb the remaining 3 exams.

    Seriously, just don't do it. I agree with the Becker rep I talked to and 3 weeks preparation is a minimum for each exam. 2 weeks to re-read the material, 1 week to just review and to account for inefficiencies/waste.

    if you scheduled 4 exams last week then you can always take one at the end of November, and reschedule the last 3 in January lol
