Hello,

I just gave my AUD on Saturday…the scores will be out in December…I want to be an optimist and start studying for BEC which will be the next part I take..that way I do not have to re-disciplined myself as my mind is already trained in this mundane routine of work and study…but at the same time I have not yet applied for the BEC and do NOT have the NTS because I do not know if I passed AUD yet..

What does everyone do between exams??

AUD- Failed 3 times, 81 5/30/12
REG- X3:(
BEC-X1 🙁
FAR-

Finally passed my first exam after 2+ years of agony! I refuse to give up! Bring it on!

i usually contemplate giving up and becoming a hot dog vendor….so if i receive my aud score tonight and its another failure i might go with that

AUD - 2/27/12 - 76
REG - 5/31/12 - 78
BEC - 8/31/12 - 77
FAR - 12/6/12 - 76

Here's what I am doing. I get my score for REG on 12/7. I am moving on to BEC studying for now so I dont waste anytime just waiting. If I dont pass Reg, I will put BEC down, start studying for a retake right away. Think positive, it seemed very manageable to me. I could only find 1 mcq that looked pre-test. The SIMS were tough but doable

I personally would go ahead and schedule them all right now, but regardless of what you choose you have to move onto another section. At the very least do it “leap-frog” style. Schedule two at a time. So you just did AUD, now schedule BEC. By the time you take BEC you'll know if you passed AUD. If you didn't, reschedule AUD. If you passed, then go ahead and schedule another section, say FAR. By the time you take FAR, you'll know if you passed BEC. If you did, great! If you didn't, then reschedule and study for BEC again. Keep going. There is an 18 month window after you pass your first section so waiting to register and schedule until after you get a passing score on a section will waste a lot of time. Good luck!

BEC 86 (08/30/11)
FAR 84 (10/13/11)
REG 88 (11/08/11)
AUD 86 (11/29/11)

I would move on to BEC. My brain appreciated the “changing of gears”, and I actually did OK when I had to shift back and re-study FAR. If you're in the habit and routine of studying, might as well not waste time waiting!

AUD 73, 93 (7.2.11, 11.5.11)
REG 79 (8.20.11)
FAR 74, 82 (5.31.11, 8.27.11)
BEC 85 (10.19.11)

well, I failed FAR on 10/19. Didn't find out until 11/3. By then I was about two weeks into studying for REG which I already scheduled for 11/30. So, I kept studying for REG and will take that at the end of the month. As soon as I finish that exam, I'll begin re-studying for FAR which I plan to take at the end of February. If I find out I failed REG this time around, I'll put down FAR and keep studying REG and retake early January then begin my studying for FAR retake.

I am in the same boat as you. I failed FAR with 68 (found out on Nov 3). This is my first time re-studying. I was wondering what's your plan of attack is like for the second time.

I just took REG yesterday. I am taking this week off for the holiday. Then I plan to start AUD on Monday. I'll be 2 weeks into AUD before I find out if I passed REG or not. If I didn't pass REG I'm going to stop AUD and start studying for a REG retake since I would have only been 2 weeks into AUD.
