Need some advice! I took FAR in May and unfortunately didn’t pass! I studied for 2 months while working full time and by the time I had to take it I was way too burned out ! I am already signed up for audit with beckers class and to be able to recover the promise I have to complete by august! Clearly I took a two week break from all the studying after FAR and regret it a little but I just couldn’t sit and listen to the lectures anymore ;( I feel ready to try it again now but not sure if I should go for audit and than try far again or go for FAR and cram for audit? Ideally I would live to complete both by end of August? Is anyone else in similar situation?

I suggest you start studying immediately for FAR and take it as soon as you feel comfortable in July. You can pass AUD with 4-6 weks of studying depending on how many hours you can get in. You already have FAR knowledge and unfortunatley you lost time by not jumping right back in there to study, but it can still be done. If you don't want to watch lectures then don't. Start working MCQ and going through your notes. Chances are the lectures aren't going to help you much more by watching all of them a second time. You could pick and choose which ones to watch based on what you need additional help with. I don't know anything abour Becker promises so I may not be the best one to give advice, but I think you can get them both in before August if you start studying now and really focus for the next 2 months.
