Hello everybody!

I’ve been watching these forums since I began my testing in November and have thoroughly enjoyed reading your opinions on things. I’m looking for some insight/advice for myself now.

I have passed both REG and BEC on the first attempts,and will be sitting for AUD on May 3rd. I’m somewhat confident for AUD, but I’ve never left a testing center feeling like I passed. Anyways, I have all of the Becker materials for FAR ready to go and am contemplating just going over the final review for a little over 3 weeks and trying FAR on May 27th. Worst case, I’m out a few hundred bucks. Best case, I just freed up my entire summer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! And good luck to everybody!

Does your NTS expire before July? If not, I would highly suggest rescheduling for then. You're not going to be prepared, nor feel prepared, in just 3 weeks. It took me 3 weeks alone just to review and go through some MCQ's. If you fail, you're going to have to spend your entire summer reviewing anyway.

Unless you just want to take it May and then keep studying until your score comes out, just in case. Up to you, but it's going to be very difficult.

@irhode Are you talking about the ~200 page final review for Becker? (I don't use Becker but have the final review in PDF)

If that's what you're talking about, definitely NOT! For my attempt in Feb, I used Roger's course (book only this time), Wiley study guide & MCQ, Ninja flashcards, Becker flashcards, and Becker final review and failed with a 74 last quarter. I am pretty sure I just failed my latest attempt as well (using same stuff). I think I may be using too many materials, but what I am trying to show, I guess, is that the final review does not go into that much detail and you must supplement with more. It's not hard, but just so many tiny details that you HAVE to know.

AUD: 84
REG: 84
BEC: 79
FAR: 83
