Hi all,

My deadline to pass AUD is 2/21/14. I am scheduled to take REG 1/6/14, and BEC 2/21/14. I took FAR 12/5/13 and just received notice this morning that I received a 68 on it. Should I take FAR again at the end of January or should I wait until after I take BEC and take FAR and AUD again since it will be past the deadline for AUD. I’m so torn. I want to get this out of the way and plus I am sick of failing but I do not want to try and rush it and fail again. Can anyone give me some thoughts on which way I should go? Thanks so much for all the help. Steve

Hi Steve. i would recommend attemping FAR again while it's still fresh in your mind. I think the worst thing you can do is spread yourself too thin by trying to learn all the material for another test. If you do take FAR after both BEC/REG, chances are you will probably forget like 75% of the things you learned.

Keep doing progress tests every day and grinding out those MCQs. good luck

AUD: 98 (4/13)
BEC: 84 (5/13)
FAR: 91 (7/13)
REG: 91 (8/13)

I concur with Meowmix77. Best to keep at it with FAR until you pass it. End of January sounds reasonable. That gives you a fighting shot at passing all 4 before the deadline and FAR will still be somewhat fresh. For many people, BEC is the easiest test, so three weeks is doable if you don't slack.

FAR - 71, 94
BEC - 91
REG - 51, 88
AUD - 89

Sounds like a tough situation. Question for you— how busy are you during January and February? Are you studying full time? Are you in public, ready to head into busy season? Also, how far into REG are you? Are you pretty much done, just in the review stage or are you just starting out?

I always advise people to take FAR first– it is the building block for many other topics covered in other exams. And if the information is still fresh in your mind, you don't want to lose it and start over again.

F- 7/13- 84
R- 10/13- 79
A- 11/13- 99
B- 1/14- 86

This exam ALMOST defeated me back in 2006-2008, but I came back and WON!

Hey jlough how the hell did you get a 99 on audit lol? How did you study/prepare and what is you use and do? I took auditing in October and got a 64 and I've been restudying now and want to nail it in January.
