So my audit score expires on 12/7/2014.

My original plan was to take FAR on 10/27/2014 and take BEC on 11/30/2014(I have failed it twice before).

It is October 4, 2014 I have 23 days till my exam and I am only through 5 sections of Becker at the moment.

I have two options. That I can think of, I can push FAR Back to November 1st and still finish BEC by the end of November, or I can take FAR sometime in November, BEC in January and Audit Retake in February.

What would you do?

November is going to be a super stressful month at work, and I fear if I rush it, I am going to fail anyway.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Which do you think you know more about — BEC or FAR? Whichever one you think you know more about or whichever you scored closest to 75 on last time is the first one I'd retake. I'd retake that one as soon as you feel comfortable and then schedule the remaining one.

I have never taken FAR Before.

If it were me, I'd take BEC first and then take FAR since you already have practice with BEC.

So you would loose Audit and retake it next year??

I have to complete FAR and BEC by 11/30 or audit expires.

This is a tricky one. If November will be stressful at work and make studying difficult, it's probably not a great idea to try to squeeze in a test at the end of that month. And FAR requires a lot of work, so if it were me, I'd go for the plan that had me only taking FAR once and then give myself plenty of time to prepare and hopefully pass it the first time. You passed AUD quite nicely the first time, so your plan of retaking that one might be the best idea. If you keep spinning your wheels on FAR and BEC by not leaving enough time to study them, then you might end up having to retake REG as well.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)
