So I need an advice. I passed BEC a year ago and since then I started a new job and simply couldnt push myself to study. So 2 days ago I took Reg and awaiting for result. Here is the problem : my BEC will expire June 30. I really dont want to go through it again. I have 3 months to pass FAR and AUD.

IN WHICH ORDER I SHOULD STUDY THEM???!!! This is my first and last attempts so I have no time no fail it even once.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I can relate to this. I stopped studying for about 6-8 months last year after I passed AUD cause of my job and family dilemmas (drama). I just got my REG score back the other day and found out I failed since I only had time to go through half the study material in Gleim before my NTS expired. Plus, I needed to sit and pass it before my BEC score expired on March 8th. So now I gotta retake BEC and REG. I'm waiting for my FAR score since I took that before my BEC expired as well. Let's hope I passed. But rushing to study and sit for an exam might increase your chances of failing that much more. I encountered many FAR-related topics on BEC and AUD (especially the SIMS) and wish I had sat for FAR first since it crosses every section of the exam. I loved studying for AUD. It was easy for me and it's the only exam I passed on the first attempt. (I don't even work in audit or in public accounting). Even with that fact, I still wish I had taken FAR first. So, I would say sit for FAR first and FAR only in the next testing window, preferably at the end just in case you need to retake REG. If you passed REG and try to do both AUD and FAR, you might not pass either. =( And that might be even more discouraging than having taken one and passed one (even if BEC expires). It might be possible to sit for AUD first and FAR at the end of the testing window since I passed AUD on my first try, but if you get your REG score back and it's not a passing score, then I think focusing on FAR first and FAR only in the next testing window would be the best option. I HAAAATED BEC with a passion and hate that I have to go through retaking it, especially in the new version of the exam. I've sat for all sections at least once, and out of all of them, I would much rather have to retake BEC again than any other. And if we passed it before, we can pass it again.

Thank you for your advice. I pray I passed Reg and maybe this will give me a power to finish with these two. I started to study for FAR today. It was so stupid to let time pass by and not to study these months… I could be done earlier. Now I have to go through this hell 🙁

I'm right there with you girl. I swear, I am going to do everything in my power to not let my AUD score expire! LOL! Having one score expire is painful enough! I hope you passed REG as well! And try not to let your BEC score expiring distract you too much. I let it get to me while I studied for REG and FAR these last couple months and couldn't focus or get through all the material before sitting for the exams and didn't pass either one the first time around. Hopefully I passed my FAR retake.
