Has anyone had success studying for 2 sections at once? I am trying to figure how to prepare for AUD and FAR with only 2 windows remaining before BEC expires, and I have a field audit from March 16-27 which I probably have to work overtime because I don’t really have much training on this nor does the in-charge auditor.

Determined can you sit for FAR April 25 like you had already planned and then take Audit at the end of May? It would be too much to try and do sections at once. I have seen some FAR related material on Audit so it kinda overlaps which would help you when you retake it.

AUD - 73, 72 retake 7/2/2016
BEC - 8/20/2016
REG - TBD
FAR - TBD

I am so ready for this nightmare to be over. Been at this way too long.

Did it for BEC and REG. Passed both in Oct. and Nov.

Doing the same for AUD and FAR.

@Determined_To_Succeed – I scheduled AUD last October 2014 and passed it. Scheduled FAR last November 2014 but I failed. Got 71. Took FAR January 2015 and I passed. Scheduled BEC February 9, 2015 but I failed with 74. Scheduled REG on February 27th. I studied 3 sections in one window. Sad I'm short by 1 point for BEC. Pissed off but that's the way it is. I have full time/part time job, 3 year old daughter and 4 mile run every day. I gained weight actually from 110lbs to 140lbs. Now I lose 10 lbs. You can do it. But you have to stick to your schedule. Have a little faith. It can be done. A71 community is here for you.

AUD - 79 (expired) retaking July 28,2016
FAR - 76 expiring July 31, 2016
BEC - 85
REG - 74,74,74,74,59,70,

Determined_To_Succeed:

It is doable but you have to stick with your study-plan. Because of a lot of connections & overlaps on FAR and AUD, as well as on REG and BEC people do it.

By the way, my understanding was that all sections of the CPA-exam will be expired after 18 month, no matter how many parts were passed. Means, failed parts of the CPA-exam enforce to re-pass it again. According to your listing,

BEC & REG will expire in August-2015 and February-2016. Would you or anybody else clarify how “the expiration rule” works ??

FAR - 07/2015
AUD - TBD
REG - TBD
BEC -TBD

It's a rolling 18 month window. Once you pass your first one, you need to pass the other 3 within 18 months of that first one. But if you lose the first one due to expiration, you don't lose them all, only that first one. Your new 18 month window is set by the second one you passed.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

Kimboroni, Thanks for making clearer 18 months rule. I always knew about that “magic” number but I didn't know how it works exactly. You lose the first one due to expiration but you don't lose all of them. Thanks again.

FAR - 07/2015
AUD - TBD
REG - TBD
BEC -TBD
