I have had a ton of friends who have taken FAR and the answers vary. I have heard 20 hours per week for 4 weeks and when you do the Becker lectures (if you use Becker) then do a quick review after every 3 sections to keep it fresh in your head.

REG: Passed,(expired 4/30/11), Passed - 87 (2/29/12)
BEC: Passed,(expired 2/29/12), Scheduled May 2012

I did not keep track, but the lectures (46 hrs) and a weekend review prior to the test (20 hrs). I would say somewhere in the range of 70-80 because even though the lectures were only 46 hrs I paused quite often.

BEC: 73,81(7/6/2010); AUD: 75(5/24/2010); FAR: 76(8/31/2010); REG: 77 (10/18/2010) - DONE!!!!

I personally spent a whole semester of review classes at my university (Jauary through May). 3 hours of class time per week + probably 20 hours during the week of studying and homework. The week prior to the exam, I put in about 55 hours.

AUD: 95 (7/14/10)
REG: 94 (7/22/10)
BEC: 87 (7/29/10)
FAR: 95 (8/12/10)

100 hours, 26 minutes, and 47 seconds….actually I really have no idea and it doesn't really matter, everyone is different and I would recommend you study until you feel comfortable with the material and are scoring in the mid-80's on your practice tests.
