I took BEC yesterday, now I have a 2 week window before I find out how I did. I feel like I did pass it (had mixed feeling about it when I walked out, though got better as the time went by). Just wondering if it is worthwhile for me to begin to study for FAR? Thanks in advance for the advise! 🙂

BEC: 5/21/14 82! PASSED HALF WAY THERE!
FAR: 4/2/15 80! Almost there!
AUD: 69, 74, 4/3/14 81! PASSED
REG: TBD

I agree with most of the others on here – start studying! I want to be done with these exams ASAP though. I started studying for my first section on 9/17/13 and if I pass REG on Tuesday, will be at about 8 months total. Why drag out the misery any longer than you have to?? 🙂

FAR 12/3/14, 87
AUD 2/3/14, 90
BEC 4/1/14, 88
REG 5/27/14, 94

It depends on your timeframe. I've taken 4-6 weeks off after each test because I am so obsessed when studying that I need that time to spend with my kids and try to make up for lost time. It's a little harder to get back into the swing of things to study again, but I think it helps prevent burn out while studying for each section. And even with all that time between tests I still have 3 testing windows to pass my last one before I lose credit for the first one and if I pass my next one in July I will have passed all 4 parts in less than a year. Sometimes slow and steady wins the race. 🙂

Thanks for all the replies! I get so much great advise here and I am really thankful! 🙂 I think that I will ease into FAR today then, at a more relaxed pace until the score are out. Thanks all!

I agree with the others. If you take a break, you won't want to get back into it. Give yourself at most a week, and then hit it hard. The time slips away quickly and besides, you will be glad when you are finished.
