@LSU: FAR is my last one. Started Oct 2009 (right after tax extensions were up), tested late Nov, received a wonderful Christmas gift…….passing score for BEC. Took off Thanksgiving – end of year, started studying REG, tested Feb 12. Started tax seasons hours Feb 15 – Apr 15. Started studying for AUD Apr 19, tested May 27. Then started FAR on June 5, tested July 31. I only pushed it out so far because I was scheduled for jury duty on July 19 and was told not to schedule anything for two weeks in case I got picked. Go figure, it got called off but I wasn't paying to reschedule at that point. So, it has been 10 months of non-stop work! I have been out of college 10 years this past May and decided it was way past time to take the exam. I actually tried it years back when it was paper and pencil!! There was actually a day after this last exam that my kids wanted to go to water park and they said, “mom, you're staying home cause you have to study, right?” I was so glad to tell them, no!!!
