Hi guys,

So I’ll start working full time for big 4 late July, and as you know 2 weeks is going to be training and I will probably be unassigned for another week. I guess that’s full 4 weekends and I’ll be getting home early because I won’t be busy at work.

Do you recommend that I start with AUD or BEC? Assuming that I passed REG; score is released on Aug 4, so if I fail I’ll study for REG of course lol.

So, what do you think? BEC or AUD? I’m not exhausted or anything and I do not feel the need for a break.

Thanks

I decided to start studying now (a few days ago) and squeeze BEC in Aug 31st. If you failed Reg (hopefully not!) then you'll probably retake it Oct 1st. So if you started AUD and fail, you wouldn't have enough time to do aud August 31st and you'd have to drop it in favor of reg. BEC you could still do August 31st and have time for reg re take!

FAR- 5/11/15 76!!
AUD-10/31/15 63, 84!
REG-7/12/16 72
BEC-8/31/15 75!! Perfect Score!

I disagree. Since you recently took and did so well on FAR, I'd try for AID by the end of August. You'll find significant overlap between FAR and AUD, so you've got a bit of a head start on it.

Either way I wouldn't waste the next 3 weeks waiting for scores, move on right now and don't give a thought to REG until scores are released.

I agree to take aud first. It depends how much time it would take him to study aud. for me it took 2-2.5 months. That's why I suggested bec

Thank you guys. I think I will review both AUD and BEC material and decide on it.

@another85 I asked the same question. I want to get the most out of the test window as possible, I found that the score release for tests on or after the 14th will be august 20th so I won't have time to wait for the scores so I will start in on either aud or bec. I am leaning toward aud since there might not be any calculations or formula's to remember. I really want to pass reg but I guess I'll have to move on regardless. I will be looking at the materials and order the mcq's for the section and get started a couple of days after reg. At least by 8/1.

It begins with a 75
