You find out you didn’t pass a previous section???

I was in the middle of studying for BEC but just found out didn’t pass AUD so what do you guys do when you guys go through this dilemma. Do you guys keep studying for the section you were studying for or do you go back to review the section you have to retake??

Depends on a bunch of factors:

1. How are along are you with BEC? Half way?? Do you feel like you KNOW half of it?

2. Is your BEC NTS going to expire?

I used the method of passing an exam before taking another. Can you switch gears and retake audit the beginning of Jan and BEC the end of Feb?

A - 75
B - 78 God is good.
F - 77 Answered prayers.
R - 84! Done!!

Paperwork sent - waiting for license!!
Still on a cloud and in shock. Through God, all things will happen.

I found out I failed AUD and I was already half way through REG at the time. I remember being very bummed out!!! I was uncertain of whether to stop studying for REG and jump back into AUD or stick with REG. I decided to stick with REG and take the exam that I had already scheduled. After I took REG I revised my study plan for AUD and passed the 2nd time around. Thankfully I also passed REG first time with a perfect 75.

I thought I understood AUD the first time I took it, and it was a tough pill to swallow when I received a score of 58. I had attended all the live Becker classes and had done 90% of the homework. The second time around I skipped the videos and just did a bunch of progress tests, took a bunch of notes (I didn't take any notes first time around), and I did all the SIMS (didn't do that first time either), and finally I brought the AUD ninja notes.

My advice to you is to put AUD to the side for now and focus 110% on BEC. After you take BEC jump back into AUD and reevaluate where you need to adjust your study plan.

BEC - 66, 77 (3/14* expired), 82 (11/15)
AUD - 58 (4/14), 76 (8/14)
REG - 75 (6/14)
FAR - 72 (11/14), 67 (1/15), 68 (5/15), 68 (7/15), 80!!!! (11/15)

That just happened to me. I found out Nov. 4th that I failed AUD. I decided to continue studying REG and am taking it this Wednesday. I am also taking BEC before my AUD retake. I'm basically sticking to my original plan, and after I've taken all of them I will see where I'm at and what I need to retake. I'm not sure if it will work so I can't offer much advice. But this is my strategy. I feel your pain. Its definitely not a good feeling. Good luck in whatever you decide works best for you.

I found out I failed REG in the middle of studying for Audit.

I finished studying for Audit and then took REG right after that and passed that one too.

It all depends on how far along you are and if you are understanding BEC.

Good Luck

If you have already started studying for BEC and are well into it, then continue your preparation for BEC. If you just started then go back to Auditing and finish it off.

Finally done!!! Experience-pending. Ethics- Pending.
Reg 78 / 73/82.
Aud 74/89.
BEC 72 /78.
FAR 74/ 73/ 82.

“If you have already started studying for BEC and are well into it, then continue your preparation for BEC. If you just started then go back to Auditing and finish it off.”

In the most general sense, this is correct advice.

REG- (1) 76
FAR- (2) 64, (5)74, (7)83 (Over achiever!)
AUD- (3) 70, (4) 75
BEC- (6) 75
