Ok, here’s my story:

Passed FAR on 4/14/2011 (yeah!), took AUD a month later and nailed a 54! Changed jobs and focused on that for a while. Find new job with new company in April 2012 and need to finish exams. Take AUD in May (63), bummed. Take AUD again in the beginning of July (71) DOUBLE BUMMED!! Take BEC end of August (83) BOOM!

Two tests down. Now, I have REG scheduled for Oct 7th, with my FAR pass score expiring on Oct 14th. Is it worth it for me to try to schedule an AUD test on the 13th, hoping that I pass REG, as my last shot before I lose the FAR score? The issue is that it gives me only one week to study for AUD. It would be a gamble but the payoff could be HUGE!!! The flipside is that I just hunker down on REG, knowing that I’ll have to take AUD and FAR sometime in the future, giving me a little more time to study and complete.

Or I reschedule REG for Oct 2nd, giving myself 11 days to study for AUD (and only about a month then for REG)?

All thoughts are welcomed!

I studied for REG in about a month and got a 75 so it is definitely possible. I'm not sure about the 11 days for AUD unless you're goin round the clock studying but hey, it's worth a shot to try and save that FAR pass. Good luck!

FAR - 81
REG - 75
AUD - 85
BEC - 79

Thank goodness it's over... Now on to the next step...

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I'm torn, but I'm thinking the upside may be worth the risk. Downside, I still have to take FAR and AUD again (and potentially REG), but the upside is that I”m done.
