    Thoughts? – Thinking I should retake AUD in Nov after x2 fail (May 68, July 70) instead of my scheduled FAR (NTS expires). Taking reg Oct 3rd.

    Unless you have a strong foundation, I would highly advise against it.
    It's possible you'll pass if you put in 3 hours a night and 8 hours on Saturday and Sunday.
    However, it also depends how well you've honed your focus.
    If you're thinking of something else, such as going out and doing something remotely fun instead of being fully encapsulated in the world of accounting, I would pass.

    I take REG on Oct 3rd, which has the same expiring NTS as FAR. Unfortunately, things didn’t go according to plan when I spaced my exams out (passing the first time, so I could move on) over 2016. After I take REG, I don’t think I’ll be able to focus and dedicate the effort needed to tackle FAR in 5 weeks. As painful, painful, painful, as it is to burn the FAR NTS, I think it’s in my best interest to take AUD instead, where my chances of passing are much better. Like I said, my previous scores (68 May, 70 July) indicate I’m almost there and basically need to do tons of MCQ; Becker and going to buy NINJA to supplement to get over the 75+ HUMP.

    I feel it would be better to go into Q1 with just having to tackle FAR, as opposed to tackling FAR and AUD because I waited to take AUD just to fail FAR…andddd would have to do more re-leaning AUD in case I forgot things over the months that pass. I mean, realistically, I don’t think I can do FAR in 5 weeks given the nature of the exam.

    I appreciate everyone’s input! – SIGH
