Alright, I need some input from you guys and gals…

I already passed BEC. I just took AUD today and feel pretty good about it, but you never know.

My original plan was to go with the BARF method, just based on the acronym itself and no other logical reason. But instead of taking REG next, I’m wondering if I should go for FAR in case I end up failing AUD, since they seem to interlap in some cases.

Thoughts?

BEC: Passed
AUD: Passed
REG: Passed
FAR: Passed

I think I'd go with FAR if I were you because some things you covered in your previous studies may help for FAR. REG, to me is the least “accounting” related exam, so I think you'd be better off taking that last.

FAR 88 (07/15/11)
BEC 83 (08/31/11)
AUD 81 (10/15/11)
REG 83 (11/26/11)

I haven't taken FAR yet, but I wish I took that part first.

I passed my BEC and AUD, too. But now I barely get my endurance to pass my REG…

I heard taking FAR teaching you HUGE endurance. Plus there're some parts in FAR that's included in REG; so FAR might help 🙂

I would go for FAR next since they do overlap in certain spots. That's what I did this window and I'm finding myself saying….oh yeah I remember that in Audit!!

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73, 80 (Passed again in May 2012) Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70, 76!!!! I AM DONE!!! - Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
After 10 long years of studying, I AM DONE!!!! Finally a Licensed CPA in the State of New York!!

I agree.. FAR next will probably be helpful since you just passed BEC and possibly AUD. There is some overlap..

Maryland Candidate:
REG: 73(11/2010) 84 (01/2011)
BEC: 65 (5/11) 01/22: 79!!
AUD: 85 (08/2011) FAR: 81 (11/2011)

I would have done FAR earlier (to give a gap between FAR and REG), but now that you're here you would probably be best served by FAR next (there is some overlap… just a bit). Good luck!

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

FAR!! You need some FAR in REG but need no REG in FAR.

FAR- 75
REG- 82
BEC- 73, 79!! Its over. Am I dreaming?
AUD- 74, 74, 88

[katiekanton]

Definitely FAR. FAR and AUD have the most overlap. Take it while it's fresh in your mind. Then if you didn't pass AUD, you'll have the FAR down to help you with the FAR j/e sims in AUD.

AUD - 88
FAR - 90
REG - 85
BEC - 88

Go with FAR if you are not that familiar with taxes and business law.

REG - 07/01/2011 - 93
AUD - 08/25/2011 - 95
FAR - 10/29/2011 - 94
BEC - 11/28/2011 - 90
