Full time and using Becker.

Whats a good hour mark to hit, I know its subjective but I was told 150 for FAR and I studied about 175.

Studying full time or you work full time? If you are fresh out of college cost stuff will click quickly. If you've taken AUD you'll have some overlap in BEC. I'd say 80 hours to be safe, considerably easier than FAR in terms of sheer amount of material.

FAR- 8/14/12 91
AUD- 10/16/12 88
BEC- 11/07/12 92
REG- 01/05/13 86

Dang thats it? I have my test for 1/15 and I was planning on starting sometime this week, is this stretching it out too long?

[Da Bears]

It your first one? I took far and aud prior which helped. I know there are a lot of smart people that got 4.0 in Accy that still struggle, so don't take it lightly.

I passed FAR first attempt in Oct. Studied like 180 hours for that though.

I left BEC for last and studied about a week and a half. I think anything more than 3 weeks is probably too long. There's a lot less material in that section than the other ones.

NIU CPA Review Correspondence is awesome!

I passed all four sections on the first attempt
