I am scheduled to take the FAR exam on May 31st. Do I have enough time to get all of the studying in to pass the exam? There is only 4 weeks until then. Going crazy and not sure where to start!

FAR - 10/13(retake)
AUD - TBD
BEC - TBD
REG - TBD

You can do anything you put your mind too!!!

No one can answer that, it depends on the person. Some people cram for only 3 weeks and can pass with a score in the 80s, but those people also may have a job more related to the topics in FAR, could have guessed well on the multiple choice, could be geniuses, etc

From my experience four weeks is not enough with a full time job. Sounds like it's your first time taking it. Four weeks may be okay for a re-take.

Only if you have no job, honestly. With a full-time job, I took 3 months to get my studying in.

If you're already “going crazy” as you put it, then it's safe to say that May 31st isn't enough time. First, if you haven't already, I strongly recommend lying out a schedule by each topic to include the time for each lecture, number of MCQs and pages to read. This worked best for me, so you'll have to be your own judge. Lying everything out allowed me to establish a realistic goal and it reduced my anxiety. I wouldn't be concerned about putting it off until July (next testing window) because your emotional health is more important. Just plan wisely – that's half the battle, the other half is sticking to your plan. Good luck!

FAR - 2/28/14 PASS Praise be to God!
AUD - 7/5/14 PASS Praise be to God!
BEC - 11/29/14PASS Praise be to God!
REG - 2/28/14 PASS Praise be to God!

Thank you for all of your suggestions. I think that I will reschedule. I did the schedule like BEACPA suggested. There is no way I can get it all in and be adequately prepared. First part of July looks a lot better.
