    My FAR will expire in Oct. The only test that’s left is REG (hopefull i passed AUD). I want to take it in early June. Is it possible? What material should I use? My Becker expired so I just bought the Ninja MCQ.

    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    FAR - 75
    AUD - 64/71
    BEC - 85

    I wouldn't recommend it, but I think it is possible. What day does your FAR expire in October?

    AUD- 71,79
    BEC- 72,77
    FAR- 83
    REG- 63,71,83

    DONE!

    my FAR will expire on 10/31.

    And I cant take it in mid or late June cause its the blackout month. They have the 10 day extension only starting this quarter.

    FAR - 75
    AUD - 64/71
    BEC - 85

    I was just thinking if I take it once and not pass I will still have a second chance in the Fall testing window.

    I am taking BEC on June 4th, So you can do the first 10 days of June. I didn't pick the 10th because I will be on vacation, but the date was available for me to schedule.

    First go at the CPA! Only using Becker
    Reg / Nov 2015 - 87
    Far / Apr 2016 - 79
    Bec / May 2016 - 80
    Aud / Aug 2016

    If you take the exam in July and fail, you would still have a chance to take it again in Oct before your FAR expires

    AUD- 71,79
    BEC- 72,77
    FAR- 83
    REG- 63,71,83

    DONE!

    If you've got the money to blow, go for it. I personally couldn't imagine knocking this out in that amount of time unless I had a strong tax background.

    FAR - 75 (2/25/16)
    AUD - 80 (4/8/16)
    REG - 80 (6/10/16)
    BEC - 79 (7/19/16)

    You only get one shot with the spirit bomb.

    if you have 10 – 12 hours per day to study and study only. It can be done, but on full throttle. Good luck if you decide to jump in.

    It begins with a 75

    @donnychristal – Are you working? I took this week off from work to bang out as much REG as I could for my test next week and I say it's totally possible. Like tncincy said, 10-12 hours a day, can be done. I'm probably doing 8-9 and I bet that would even be enough. Again, assuming you're not working. Good luck!

    BEC - 74, 77
    FAR - 72, 71 (retake 7/29)
    REG - 69
    AUD - Q4 '16

    It's not ideal, but if you don't mind risking paying the money twice, I say go for it. I'd do the same exact thing if I were in your shoes. It will really help if you are tax person. I used Roger and cut out half of the lectures by taking pretests over the MCQ bank. I also used the Content Specific Outlines for all of the exams – it's a great guide to help you determine when to spend more time on a topic vs moving on. And, for what it's worth, I knocked out FAR in 21 days. 🙂 Not saying that to brag by any means – just want to let you know that an aggressive study plan is possible.

    BEC - 88 8/29/15
    REG - 82 11/14/15
    AUD - 83 1/8/16
    FAR - 80 2/29/16
