I’ll try to make this nice and short. I passed FAR and REG already, but my FAR expires on 7/30/2014 and REG is a few months later. I have been absolutely slammed at work the past 4-5 months so I haven’t done much studying. I already purchased the right to sit for both BEC and AUD. I’m about 50hrs into BEC and 0 hrs into AUD. I know I have enough time to take both tests, but what if I fail one or both?

Do I have to receive credit before the expiration date (7/30/14) or just have sit for the exam by that date? Also, I read that I can’t take the same test in the same testing window, which kinda limits the number of times I can take this tests… so with that in mind, this is my plan:

Right now, I’m planning on taking REG at the end of January and AUD at the end of February (even though I probably won’t have a lot of time to study for AUD). During the time I wait for my results I’ll keep on studying through March, if I have to take the test again then I’ll set up for April. Theoretically, I could take each test 3 times before reaching 7/30/14. But, I’m wondering if that’s even my best bet or if I should just study up hard and take them when I feel I’m ready.

Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance!

You just have to sit before your exams expire. Even with a tight work schedule, make the time to study at least 2 hours a day. It's hard and exhausting, but it's only 6 months (or less!)

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