    I have already passed FAR and am taking AUD on the 14th. I want to take another section at the end of May. Would it be better to take REG or BEC?

    FAR | 82 | 2/26/15
    AUD | 75 | 4/14/15
    BEC | 80 | 8/07/15
    REG | Q2 or 3 2015

    Either would work. Six weeks is enough time for either. You'll have a nice cushion with BEC.

    BEC would be best because it's shorter. REG is much longer to squeeze it in.

    I third the vote for BEC.

    CPA Exam - Finally DONE (November 2014)
    BEC (08/10/13) 80
    AUD (08/24/13) 65 (11/13/13) 85
    FAR (04/12/14) 81
    REG (07/19/14) 69 (11/29/14) 87!!

    I would do BEC. But keep in mind there will be some REG changes in Q3.

    Not enough changes to really matter, as long as OP has updated materials. I couldn't personally squeeze in REG during that time. Get BEC out of the way. I actually passed BEC in between my multiple REG fails. It was a nice surprise that i passed on the first try. Definitely a great “easy” section to squeeze in there before a dark June…

    FAR - 76
    AUD - 75
    BEC - 75
    REG - 76

    Now I need some experience!!! And some networking...

    Normally FAR > AUD > REG > BEC is the best path though. Most people recommend this order. But given your short timeline…maybe do BEC in this window. That way you have all the time in the world to pass REG. Will ruin part of your summer though…ahh last year's memories coming back…

    FAR - 76
    AUD - 75
    BEC - 75
    REG - 76

    Either. If you choose REG it would be 2 chapters a week for a total of 4 weeks for R1-R8 and a two week review. BEC even less 2 chapters a week for a total of 3 weeks and a two week review. I did REG last year in roughly 6 weeks. I would do REG because it seems like people have trouble on that one and if, God forbid you fail, at least you gave it a shot this window while BEC is less difficult to most. I guess it depends on how comfortable you are with the materials. Do whichever is harder for you first and get at it earlier rather than later. Good luck!

    REG 77 Feb14
    BEC 13*, 79 Aug14
    FAR 64**, 76 Nov14
    AUD 89 Feb15
