Hey guys,
So its busy season for those that are working in public and that means long hours at work LOL. That said, I wanted to get some advice and/or opinions on my retake. Currently, I got AUD scheduled for March but Im not sure how much studying I will be able to get done since work is getting busier. Im taking FAR in a week so I will finish studying for that.

My dilemma is if I failed FAR this quarter should I re-study during this tax season (1-2 hours per night to keep the material fresh) and retake it sometime in April but that means I would have to postpone AUD until May or June. Or should I jump to AUD and take it in March then circle back to FAR?

My biggest concern is I may not get that much studying done for AUD as I hope and end up failing both. Any advice for those that have experience with Busy Season.. How possible it is to study AUD during that time? I work at one of the big 4 in tax. Thanks

Never worked in public but I can say easily I had a schedule that rivaled busy season the entire time I was studying. Since the clock isn't already ticking on a passed exam you don't “have” to study through busy season but if you choose to it's exhausting but possible.
