So I took FAR on November 5th and failed it. I just finished taking AUD and I start my studying for the FAR retake tonight. Since I work full time is aiming to take the test by the end of Feb too much?

No, not at all. That's 7 weeks. If you study 20-25 hours per week, that puts you well over 150 hours. Get 2 hours studying per day during the week and 5 hours each day on weekends and you're good to go.

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

I feel much better after both of your posts so thank you! especially after feeling so defeated after last nights audit exam.

Same boat-ish

Failed FAR in November…was originally scheduled for re-take in January, then had to reschedule because of work conflicts to February 14th (my wife is thrilled 😉 ). I'm focusing on the sections I struggled with (bonds are going down!) and reinforced topics I know pretty well.

Good Luck!

I am also testing Feb 14! I figured it was a good way to celebrate Valentines day. And its a retake as well. I work full time too. I am starting from scratch and rewatching all those wonderful videos. I study at lunch (well I should be now anyway). I try to get up early but I've been failing at that lol But I study every night for about an hour or two. I think it can be done. Just focus and stay with it. I know my motivation is I don't want to go into that testing center again feeling SO unsure as it makes sense now why that was!

I was working almost full-time when I took FAR in a similar length of time, so it is definitely doable! Good luck to all of you! 🙂

@Lilla how many hours a week did you study? How exactly did you study?
