I failed AUD this round with a 72(Stronger in MCQ , weaker in Sims). I have AUD and BEC to go and have till November before FAR expires.

My question is, AUD is fresh in my mind, but I want to take BEC too in the next window to optimize my chances. What is your experience or recommendations in studying for two sections at once?

Bummed like many others, but would really appreciate any tips.

Take Audit in April. But with the new score release timeline you wouldn't find out until August so there is no rush for BEC imo. Take BEC in May. That way if you find out you miss one, hopefully you can still apply for new NTS and take it in Sept.. Though I highly doubt seats would be available that quarter. If not you have 1 more shot in OCT to pass. Im in a similar situation with AUD and FAR left.

I am so frustrated by that! I feel like I am at a huge disadvantage because of the HUGE gap in release dates. 🙁

yes that is true. But look at it this way. Either way it will be hard to fit a test in 3rd Quarter that gives u enough time to study and if you put the effort in. You will pass! then no need for retake.

Im stress about the release too but thats how I see it. Just use more time to prepare and kill the exam!

BEC- PASS

I guess that is one way to look at it.

Sorry, I high jacked my own thread. Back to original question/topic: Do you use ninja MCQs for two test sections at the same time? I feel like it would be difficult to apply enough time to both sections.

I have been using Ninja MCQ but not for 2 section at once. I been studying 1 section at a time. I am not able to multi-task between 2 section since I get confuse easily or end up forgetting things faster. However, I have seen people on here studying 2 at a time. Sometime it works sometime it doesn't, all depends on that individual.

Best of luck to you!

BEC- PASS

I've been active on this forum for five years and have seen many people try to study for two at once and a very very small fraction succeed. You're much better off to just do one at a time. Find any way possible to get better at using the authoritative literature for AUD and use it on every single SIM. there's so much info in the AL that if you know your way around it practically makes the SIMS an open book test.

I agree with @mla11692, focus on one test at a time and pass them both. When I failed FAR, I already had BEC scheduled a month later. I put down the FAR material for a month and dove into BEC. As soon as my test was over, I jumped straight back into FAR for 3 weeks, reviewed the lectures for weak topics and crushed MCQ. I actually felt like it was easier to pick up the FAR material after studying something else for a bit, my score improved 17 points. When I failed REG, my last section, I felt like it was really tough to go straight back into REG review for 5 weeks to retake, even though I did end up passing on my 2nd attempt.

B - 88 (2/16)
A - 84 (4/16)
R - 73 (6/16), 82(7/16)
F - 67 (1/16), 84(4/16)

Ethics - 93
