As a full-time MAcc student, I registered for all 4 exams on one NTS and was of to an awesome starting passing REG and AUD in July and August. Then recruiting season totally derailed my studying for FAR. After getting a full-time offer for fall and procrastinating another week, I just got restarted studying seriously yesterday.

I’m 30% done with Yeager’s FAR material and have to study 6-8 hrs every day to cover all the material left before my rescheduled exam date of 11/21. Then, thanks to my expiring NTS, I will immediately try to pull off a 9 day cram session for my 11/30 BEC exam.

It’s going to be a long month, but I’m feeling determined!

P.S. I hate IFRS and dollar-value LIFO

What's your plan for BEC?

I am sort of in a similar situation, trying to cram BEC in 2.5 days (30 hours), right after hopefully passing REG on 14 Nov.

Not yet completely sure how to set up my 2.5 day program though.

Big 4 Audit Manager from Europe here to pass the CPA in the U.S. of A in 2014! Niiice!

AUD - 95 / Jul 15 / 130h over 4 weeks
FAR - 86 / Aug 14 / 240h over 4 weeks
(11 week break)

REG - 81 / Nov 14 / 200h over 4 weeks
BEC - 87 / Nov 17 / 30 h over 2.5 days

Since I will have over a week to study, I am going to try and cover all of the Yaeger material during that time. I have the Cram too, so might switch to that for last topics if I run low on time. Finally, I'll complete as many MCQ's from Ninja and Wiley as I can stand. MCQ's are the key to doing well IMO.

If I only I had 2.5 days, I probably would just focus on MCQ's and use a review course to brush up on problem areas only. I may even consider starting BEC studying before taking REG? I'm thinking about starting BEC studying during the last few days of my FAR studying.

Good luck!
