Just starting self study. Exam in 90 days. I am using Becker. I plan to put in 35 hours per week. I have a Degree in Finance and an MBA. I consider myself an average guy. How will those 35 hours play out if i have a strong regimen? I am starting with FAR first because its so far the most difficult per research. Any advise?

Thanks!

FAR is NOT the most difficult. It just has the most material. It may be the most difficult for you with no accounting background.

35 hours a week is overkill IMO. The advice I'd give is to concentrate your efforts more toward your test than earlier as the material will slip your mind with ease.

@Juranamo, 35 hours a week is a lot! Do you also work, or no? I think getting in 20 is a challenge.

Not to hyjack your thread juranamo, but a question for anyone that wants to entertain it re: FAR studying:

After I PASS AUDIT on Sunday, my last last section is FAR. I have 3 testing periods to get it done before I lose REG, so my thought was to immediately start studying for the remainder of Q3 testing window and sit on 8/31 (already scheduled it in fact) and at least “give it a whirl” in this window. It's only going to be 7 weeks of studying though, at a likely 15-20 hours a week. Will this give me ANY shot at passing?? I took FAR twice in my lifetime back in 2008/2009, so while it won't be 100% unfamiliar terroritory for me, I've been out of the FAR game for a LONG while now! Realistically my best bet will be passing it in November sometime after a groovy attempt 8/31 and a re-try 2 months later.

REG - 65, 70, 80!
BEC - 35, 62, 79!
AUD - 73, 75!
FAR - 65, 73, 70, 75! DONE.

@ganudorm: I have a pending Masters Degree in Acctg. I put it aside for this. I just want to give it everything. I really thought it was the most challenging.

@nbad311: I do work 40 hrs a week. The plan is to put 4 hrs during each of the 5 days i work, plus 20 hrs for the 2 days i'm off =- 36. Late 20's. I am in a hurry lol
