I failed FAR 1st attempt with a 71. Now studying for REG for about 2 weeks and am half way through.
Do you guys recommend that I review FAR after I am done with REG and then push back other scheduled parts? Or shall I study FAR first and push back REG?

Thank youu!

Do you have any other sections passed? If not, Id say go back to FAR. I can say from experience. I took FAR back in Jan 2016 Failed and moved on and passed everything else and have been battling FAR for about a year and not have gotten that 75. You don't want the time to tick and have an expiring section on line due to one section. If I were to do again Id stick and get FAR pass before moving on. REG is tough but not even comparable to FAR IMO.

I don't know, since you don't have any sections on the line yet, you could get through all others and see which ones stick? but of course it's always an option to go back to FAR and try to re-take it… I am sure all others (other than REG) would be comparatively easier than FAR….

Kudos for those who are able to wait. I remember each score release just trying to make it to the morning to wait and check on my score. I would spend all night tossing and turning and 1am would come approaching and what do you know–I would be on the computer refreshing the computer shaking with nerves!

I don't necessarily hate the logic of waiting if you take multiple exams in a period, it can have a negative effect on your studies. If you can block out the thought of what your score may be then it makes sense to me to hold off and continue grinding out studying for your other exams.

**EDIT: This was definitely posted in the wrong thread. Ooop! WAs supposed to be in the can't thread about not building the courage to check your scores**

FAR - 78
REG - 72,74,71...please just go away REG nobody likes you!
BEC - 82
AUD - Aug 16

I think it depends on the person. For your case, I'd go back to FAR after finishing REG to knock it out. Since that's what I did, I took FAR, failed, but had unmovable deadline for REG, so I tried to study for it and failed. Anywho, always study for it as if you've never taken it before.

Good luck.

I'd recommend continuing with REG if you feel comfortable with the material so far. It really depends on the person; but I started out failing AUD & FAR as my first two exams taken, continued on and circled back to AUD & FAR after passing REG & BEC.
