I have scheduled REG for 11/19 and BEC for 11/20. I received a 71 on BEC in the last testing window and thus the reason for scheduling it so close to REG. I felt like I could pull off studying for both. It’s been tough and I have managed to make great progress. To date I have completed 6 of the 7 Becker chapters with REG and reworked two of the BEC chapters. I have four complete weekends and five full weeks before 11/19. The BEC material is almost second hand at this point. However, with REG although not that difficult I feel like I am just learning some of the stuff for the first time. I am considering delaying the REG exam until maybe the first week in January but am concerned that the material I am studying now for REG won’t be applicable then. Also I have put so much time into REG already. Is anyone else out there plannning to sit for REG in the first testing window of 2012 and using the 2011 materials? Should I just crank out the MC’s on BEC and continue with the REG lectures and bit the bullet as orginally planned ? Confused and need help. Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated!!!

It’s also coming into my busy season at work.

AUD-62,78

BEC-68, 66, 71

REG-55(only four weeks study)

Are you very familiar with BEC? Can you push up BEC and push off REG for end of November? Or concentrate more on REG now and push BEC off for the end of November?

I don't think you should take one right after the other, if possible.

Well I think that I fail REG so my goal is to take it again in JAN using the 2011 materials ( they don't expire until JUNE 2012). I have purchased Jeff's notes so in JAN I will get his updates if there are any. My logic is if there are changes they cannot be implemented that heavily the first month of the testing window. If they are I will be praying that they are pretest.

FAR 76
REG 76(2x)
BEC FAILED (2x)
AUD FAILED (2x)

It is reasonable if you feel confident about BEC retake. Since you are so far into Reg, you should try to take it even just to see the questions. I personally don't handle stress very well. So I don't recommend to take both of them within a week. You may need to go back to the BEC or REG mode after the first whichever one you take. Not matter what you decide, best of luck!

Pretend you are pre CBT and you have to take both back to back. Go for it!
