Hello!

I work full time at a Big 4 and was wondering how long does it take everyone to get through 1 module of Becker for FAR ( reading/understanding chapter, taking notes and doing all questions). I usually end up spending upto a week on each module.
Anyone with any ideas on how I can make this a more efficient process? I want to take the exam 2nd week of November.

It takes me about one day (10hrs) to go over the lectures and another day to go over all the questions. If the chapter you are covering has material that in complicated then it might take you longer.

Canson means stubborn right?

Too long.

Sorry, I had to. 🙂

bareleystayingsane is (perhaps unintentionally) right, it takes too long when you are working full time.

I work full time and as tax deadlines approach, much more, and I took the live classes at Becker and never finished a single chapter while taking them. I studied for weeks after the classes ended – different amounts of time for each exam – but still never 100% finished anything.

You don't have to answer *all* the questions or do all the practice exams, reviews, etc. If you have the time, that's great. If you don't, then you don't. You work through a group of questions and then move on to the next topic in order to cover all the topics, which is more important than doing 200 questions on one topic.

I passed all the exams the first time. Not by much but I passed.
