Hi everyone!
I am trying to plan out my exam schedule and I would like some input. I have only taken FAR so far and want to have the other three done by mid July. My initial plan is to do AUD next, but am not sure if I should do BEC after that and then REG, or the other way around. What I am wondering from you all is, as far as study time needed (I use Becker), how long did you spend on BEC vs. REG and still passed? I study all day, everyday and plan to really kick it into gear to finish by July.
Thank you SO much in advance for your input.

Looks like you're on the same strategy as me. Here's my game plane.

4/2/2018 – took FAR (started studying in January)
5/8/2018 – AUD (5 weeks to prepare)
6/8/2018 – BEC (4 weeks to prepare) based on feedback, BEC was more ideal to prepare for in this timeframe than REG.
7/16/2018 – REG (5 weeks to prepare) I keep checking for a seat to open up on July 2 but if not, I'll keep this date.

One of the keys for me was to schedule the tests once I established my timeline. That prevents me from waffling and letting distractions prevent me from studying.

@glopooka, may I ask how you progressed with your Becker’s FAR software? What was your progress percentage before your actual test date in FAR?

@PDiddy2000 yes we are on the same schedule. Cool! I agree that BEC is probably the best to take in order to cram the three into this quarter. REG has me worried, not strong in that area at all. I really need to book the times too so that I don't do the same thing. It will keep me from getting distracted and make me push as hard as I know I can. Thank you!

@Amor I went slow and had been studying since the beginning of January. I got through all 10 sections, spending more time on the front end until I realized I was putting too much time into the beginning sections. I should have put more into the end because I lacked in my NFP and Governmental accounting knowledge.
Overall I felt good, but I was still only scoring ~75% and below on MCQs and Mock exams. Sims weren't bad and I would score high 80s or more on them, but MCQ killed. The MCQs on the actual exam weren't as hard, I thought. More conceptual for me and not as many calculation-heavy ones like on Becker.
Are you using Becker and currently studying for FAR?
