I know I saw this once a long time ago and now cannot find this info anywhere. How long after taking the Becker live courses (and finishing the material, of course) should I schedule my exams? Is it a week after, two weeks? I was planning to take the BEC review and schedule the exam two weeks after the review is done–but I wanted some input from other, more experienced, people.

Thanks in advance!

Depending on how condensed your time frame is (i.e. how busy you are–work, family, whatever). I would recommend about a week to do final review (not including time to rework MC's–more time if you want to do this). I personally haven't had more than 4 days to do final review, so I stuck with reading through my notes and reworking sections that I struggled with. It helped me to go high level a few days before each exam, maybe it will help you too.

In general, you probably don't want to spend more than 6 weeks total for each part, otherwise you risk having to relearn too much. Again, depending on your time frame this may vary, but more than a few weeks starts to force you to redo a lot of things.

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

See Pee A – (clever username, by the way) Thanks for the info! I think I will stick to a similar plan–a week should be enough time to do a final review and re-work MC's.
