So, I’m sure this seems crazy but I am planning on taking all 4 of the CPA exams by 1/2/17. I am taking BEC tomorrow which will be my first and I have no time to wait.

I am using becker to study and putting in about 40 hours a week while in school. My hardest exam to fit in will be AUD, but I worked at a public accounting firm for a year doing audits so I am only giving myself 4-5 days to study.

Should I reschedule my AUD exam or just go for it?

BEC -
FAR -

You smoked REG man…. Do you think its possible to only study for like 3 weeks and take REG?

@ready I dunno, I studied my ass of for REG for a while…that being said some other guy said he studied for REG for a week and passed.

If you don't work and study full time I'd say anything is possible

You could be one of those people who somehow can cram all this crap in a couple weeks per exam and pull it off. Statistically I don't think your odds of passing any of them are very good (just to be honest) if you're taking as little as 5 days to study for any given exam. That approach is not often successful, but you hear about people doing it from time to time. How long have you been studying for BEC? 3 weeks for REG is not much time, 5 days for AUD seems crazy to me, and then about another 3 weeks for FAR seems crazy. But sometimes crazy works, definitely keep us posted!

I needed a couple months for each exam just to absorb all of the information and put it all together. Whether I was studying 15 hours a week or 40 hours a week, I just needed time to let it marinade in a way. So this approach would have never worked for me.

FAR - 80
AUD - 82
BEC - 80
REG - 85

ETHICS - 90

That's a pretty gnarly goal, but its really only you who gets to decide if you can do it. While getting 4 fails would be pretty deflating, some people have memories capable of absorbing that information quickly. I would say, if you think that is a possibility for you, then go for it!!! Stop posting on here and start studying!!! 🙂

You haven't lost your mind. If I were you, I would switch REG and FAR exam dates. Knowing FAR topics will help you for AUD, especially considering the short time to study. Good Luck!

It would be highly unlikely to pass. But it's your money.

AUD - 74, 99 !!
REG - 74, 92
BEC - 83
FAR - 73, 86

Don't listen to the negative guy above. You have the right mind-set. Just make sure you do what you need to do the whole game and not get lazy at the end like I did.‎

Go for it! That would be so flipping amazing if you could pull it off, you would earn all of the bragging points.

And what do you have to lose? $1000+ in registration fees? That would be well worth it to not have to drag it out. This study thing suck the life out of you!

I can't wait to hear how you did! Don't pay attention to any negative comments and that's the only advise I could give.

Good luck!

AUD 7/6/16 Passed
BEC 9/3/16
FAR TBD
REG TBD

Get it over with if you can! I'm a year in with only a pass in AUD, 2nd attempt at REG in 2 weeks and not even half way through my first pass at Gleim for this attempt.

Anything if possible if you believe!
