I’m having a difficulty deciding how to separate out of my test. Do MOST people take one test a window unless it falls where you can take a test at the VERY beginning and then very end?

I passed FAR on 11/30 and since my score was going to be released by 12/9, I didn’t start studying until after I got that.

Just started studying for AUD yesterday. I work full-time and have a 2 year old, so I was going to give myself 6 weeks to study for AUD ( I did FAR in 2 months). That puts my test around Jan 25.

Then I figured REG at the very beginning of the 2nd window (April 1st) — My job is very supportive and I don’t work much overtime even during tax season, so I’m not worried about this being tax season. And then BEC (or AUD again) at the end of the window.

Point being… Just wondering how others in my situation (full-time job, not every second before & after work available to study due to kids or other reasons), did their testing.

F - F ('12), 90 (Dec '15)
A - F ('12), 73 (Feb '16), ? (July '16)
R - 87 (May '16)
B -

My plan was to take one test per window. Then I failed REG so I retook at the beginning of the next window and took AUD at the end of that window. Then I failed AUD and I am taking it at the beginning of the next window and BEC at the end. As long as you are passing on the first attempt I'd go with 1 per window.

I work full-time with very limited over time and have no kids or anything to take up time outside of work, so take that into consideration… In fact I'm about to start studying a lot at work because my boss told me its my big “goal” for 2016, and I work in the oil industry and we are really, really slow. I also want to get these exams done before (IF) we go bankrupt since they are paying for everything.

REG -73 (8/2015) 81 (10/2015)
AUD - 73 (11/2015) 84 (1/2016)
BEC - 84 (2/2016)
FAR - 77 (6/2016)

You have to move along at a pace that works for you, but I allotted about 6 weeks for FAR, took it at the end of August. I scheduled AUD for October 15th, and BEC for the end of November. It worked for me thankfully despite a busy schedule and a toddler. I always figured that at worst I'd fail the second (because I wasn't ready) and take it at the beginning of the next window,.

I agree with rose.. it's at whatever pace is good for you. As long as you don't start losing credits you're golden. I did one at the very end of the third window and three in the last window. The support from family and work definitely helps the process.
