So all I have left is little ol’ BEC. I basically have 6 attempts to pass it before my first credit for AUD expires. I’m honestly so done with this exam and am kinda burnt out. B1 and B2 were reasonably easy and I scored 80-90% on my first time going through the MCQs, then B3 came and I am so unmotivated and tired. I start work in 2 weeks FT and my initial goal was to knock this last one out before I started, but since Im moving, it doesn’t look like that I will be able to knock it out. Many of my friends from grad school have already knocked the entire exam out of the way and told me they spend max a month on BEC, with one friend saying he spent only 10 days for it. I’m gonna try and get through all the material before I start FT and then review for a few weeks and take it around Oct. 19. I was also wondering how bad is October for tax? I have a wedding to go to on the 12th, but I’m not sure if I’ll need to be in the office on Saturday. I doubt I’ll have to since it’ll be my first week, but would love to get your thoughts on it. Do I need to tell my supervisor my first day that I’ll need to be gone on saturday? Anyways need motivation to get through BEC, none of this material connects like how it did for the other exams and its kinda frustrating.

I can't speak to tax season, but I just took BEC and I didn't think it was that horrible. I didn't particularly enjoy studying for it, but at least it's the least amount of material. The worst part is all the formulas. I think the best strategy for this exam is making sure you leave a lot of time to do tons of MCQ. Practicing the calculations is really the best way to learn them.

FAR - PASSED 11/14
AUD - TBD
BEC - TBD
REG - First take 2/16
