UGH, regretting my decision! I saved FAR for last because I actually use many of the concepts on a daily basis (right, or so I thought!). I’m taking the exam on 4/6 and am hoping I can get through all the material…it is a beast for sure. I’m about 25% through it. Just wanted to let the another71 world know that I really should have taken this first, before I had a child! Happy Studying Y’all.

I agree. I saved it for last also, and I was so burned out from studying for the other three that I didn't give it the effort I should have. I wish I would've taken it second, actually. My BEC experience gave me a lot of confidence, and that would have carried over to my second exam, while I was still in the mood to study day and night. By the time I got to FAR almost a year later, I was so over the whole process.

BEC: (4/2012) 88
AUD: (5/2012) 91
REG: (8/2012) 82
FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂

I actually took it first and passed first try but then Audit was such a beast for me that I ended up losing my FAR credit, so here I am taking it last! Well, actually waiting on my score, took it last week.

I have 2 windows to pass FAR before I lose REG. I cannot imagine having to take that one again! I can do this 🙂 as I want/NEED this journey to be over!!

@bnr – crossing my fingers that you are done!!

Took FAR first to get it out of the way. FAR expires in May for me. Need to pass REG before then (waiting on score this Friday). Got one more shot at REG before FAR expires. I would be soooooo disappointed if I have to restudy for FAR. I have been praying that I pass this time. It is my second shot at REG.

F - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
B - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
A - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
R - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.

@Maverick – good luck!! Hopefully you don't need that extra shot and you'll be done on Friday! I know how you feel, I really cannot fathom the thought of having to take REG again. All the more motivation to get FAR done.

CrockPot78, good luck too. Good luck everyone.

F - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
B - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
A - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.

I took FAR and REG last because those were the ones I knew would suck to have to retake! I took Audit first and it just expired so I have to retake it which is a bummer but I was an auditor for 2 years so *hopefully* the concepts come back to me.

AUD: PASSED [81]; Expired, retaking August 23rd
BEC: PASSED [83]; Expired, retaking July 11th
REG: PASSED [83]
FAR: FAILED [64]; Retaking May 23rd

I'm in this club. It's hard for me to study FAR a little at a time (with any benefit) and gratification is very much delayed. I actually think the material is easier than REG but it is much more extensive and time demanding.

I am taking it next window to try to be done – I'm glad I have 3 1/2 windows to wrap up but don't want to need them.

B: 77 (LC), 75
A: 63,74,88
R: 60,67,80
F: 71,74,74 again, and 86 - DONE!

Ethics and application - done.

I just found out I failed FAR wit 71. I saved it for last because I was intimidated by the volume. I shouldn't have been afraid of it – it can be done, just get started and schedule it. I get 3 more chances, hoping to only need 1.

FAR is my last one as well…. Currently on my third exam, and now I fear that I am too going to feel burnt out… My exam is in one week for BEC… and I'm already in that “Whatever” mood.

…. but I'm going to say persistent to my schedule and do what I am suppose to do to finish strong.

After BEC, I'm going to take a weekend off to go out and hang with friends as a “Refresher” before big FAR!

AUD*82* 04.15.13(1)
BEC 05.29.13
FAR 08.12.13
