Okay I know there are a couple of threads of this going around, but FAR was my first section and I got a 60. I am planning to take AUD on May 18 and have scheduled to take REG on July 6 (can push it back as far as October 7) and have scheduled BEC on August 17 (can push it back as far as October 14). Should I reschedule FAR after I go through the rest of the sections, or try to take FAR again right after AUD?

Since you're so close to your audit test, for sure take that one. After that I would personally retake FAR because of the sheer volume in that test you really don't want to risk forgetting anything! I took FAR twice in a row, then audit (my NTS was expiring) then took FAR again for the third time and passed! FAR truly is a beast and isn't just about memorizing things- you really have to understand the concepts and be able to apply them any way they throw them at you! The first two times I took it I didn't really realize that (and didn't want to put in the work) but realized I had to actually work hard for FAR to conquer it. Good luck! 🙂

FAR: PASSED!! 64, 68, 79 on 2/27/13!
AUD: PASSED!! 73, 93 on 4/5/13!!!
BEC: PASSED!! 75 (phew) on 5/24/13!
REG: PASSED!!! 77 on 8/7/13 I AM DONE!!!!!

Experience: got it!
Ethics Exam: PASSED on first try (what a waste of money)

Oh and forgot to mention you said to retake FAR right after AUD- you have to re-study! You can't just expect to retake it right away 🙂 not sure if that's what you meant or not but just wanted to make sure! 🙂

@ORcpaHOPEFUL Wow a 79, man I would kill for a score like that. And you're right, I meant to say restudy instead of retake lol. What review course did you use / methods you used to pass FAR the third time around?
