Done with far and reg what’s next?

I'd say AUD because I feel that between AUD and BEC, AUD has more to do with FAR and REG.

Gosh, you are almost done! Two “beasts” under the belt already. I'd say take AUD next (it's boring, thus you need more drive & focus). You might lose some steam when you get to the 4th exam, thus BEC seems perfect for that reason. BEC is easy (except some cost accounting topics and weird IT stuff).

DONE!

[ppierce]

Yep I started with the 2 most “difficult” bc i thought i would be the most gung ho at the beginning and lose steam towards the end. Which is exactly whats happening.

FAR 80
REG 76
AUD 85

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AUD next, because like the others said, it's related more closely to FAR and REG. But on a side note, I'd have to disagree with Round1. I definitely wouldn't call BEC easy.

BEC: Passed
AUD: Passed
REG: Passed
FAR: Passed

I agree with the others, take AUD next because it has the most overlap with FAR and BEC is easier so ot would be nice to save for last. You definitely did the right thing to take far and REG first. I took REG last and I was thoroughly burned out by the time I started my REG studies. I'm still not sure how I managed to pass given what a hot mess I was towards the end lol.

I would have to say that you should save BEC or AUD for last. By the time you finish 3 exams, you are so close to being burned out that if you had to take FAR or REG, even if you were capable and had the time to put into preparing, you would struggle since your mind would be so exhausted. AUD needs to come after FAR (which you can do now). So I would recommend perhaps AUD, REG, and then BEC last. A break between FAR and REG can be helpful since they cover some similar topics but have different rules for financial vs. taxation of the same transaction types. good luck

@See Pee A – The original poster is already done with REG and FAR, so obviously they are going to save AUD or BEC for last. 🙂 I think that perhaps you misread the post.

@ppierce – I agree with the others.. I would take AUD next since there are some journal entries and transaction cycles that you will be learning, and your FAR/REG studies will help you with that. BEC just has so much random stuff… it's definitely not easy, but I don't think it's as necessary to have studied for FAR or REG to take it.

@kandis: Definitely need coffee, and definitely need to stop reading multiple threads and responding. I am still in a weird daze after finishing the exam, no idea what to do with my life until work starts next month. Then again, I should probably enjoy the freedom while it lasts.

I'd AUD first then BEC.

The only bad thing about doing BEC last is that the scores come out in multiple waves so you might have to wait longer for your final score… which is pretty much torture. But, oh well. That's how it goes right?

AUD | 85
REG | 77
FAR | 76
