So here is the situation.

I took Reg and failed it by 10 points. Re took it again and passed.

Took Audit and Passed the first time.

Took BEC and missed it by 5 points.

Planning to retake BEC 7/7.

That will hopefully leave me with only FAR left that is assuming I pass BEC the next time around.

I was planning to try and cram FAR in and take it by August 26th, that way if I failed it I can retake it in October/November since Audit expires in December.

A few people told me that I was crazy to try and cram FAR in with about 6 weeks of studying and that I should take my time and take the test in October. I am scared, that god forbid I do not pass it, I will then loose audit. But I honestly do not thank I can successfully pass by August. So do I cram it in and pray for a hail mary, or take my time and take the test in October.

Any suggestions?

Depends on your funds and time to study. I took BEC as a hail mary after only 1 month just because i wanted to make sure I had two attempts to take it again. I had nothing to lose so I went for it and passed. Did I feel ready, not at all, I was scoring Becker in the 60s days before the exam but the exam turned out to be easy. Glad I did it. Plus if you plan for august, you will work your butt off and you will for sure pass during the retake if you fail. Plan to study 30hrs a week . MINIMAL.! Good luck!
