I personally spent more than $3,000 so far (review materials and exam fees) just for FAR and AUD but not pass them yet. I am wondering how much does it cost you to pass all the parts? I saw lots of people took all of the parts more than 1 time. it is added up to a lot of money. there’s one I counted more than 10 times. wow. I really need to get another job just for this test.

please share your pain.

I've spent about $6,000 – (I think). I applied for exams that I never ended up taking and I've taking sections multiple times before I passed. I think it would depress me if I truly knew how much I've spent.

I've spent $2,569.31. My current employer has not offered to reimburse a single cent 🙁 Despite this, I've decided to focus on the fact that my life can finally resume.

Wow, I am incredibly fortunate. Work in industry and my company provided the entire Becker package at no cost. All transcript, application, and exam fees paid on corporate card. The only out of pocket was for the Ninja MCQ I bought to supplement my studying for FAR and AUD so far. Will likely purchase for REG too shortly. I would have to pay for any retakes if needed.

BEC - 02/21/15 - 82
FAR - 05/29/15 - 82
AUD - 07/09/15 - 93
REG - 11/14/15 - 80

All done!!!

Thank you mamabear!! I remember you from the REG study group. This forum has been a lifeline for me.

I spent around $4500. Will get $3300ish back when I start this fall though. Well worth it. Splurging for Becker and passing two exams before recruiting last fall is a big part of what got me my offers in the first place.
