I just took FAR yesterday (12/17) and should get my score back around 1/12. My NTS for REG expires 3/27 and I haven’t studied at all yet for REG. Should I start studying for REG now or keep refreshing FAR until score release? I felt decent about the test but I really don’t know. If I failed FAR, should I retest ASAP before moving to REG, or come back to FAR after?

start on REG now, you should be about halfway through REG by the time FAR comes out.
Finish REG and then retake FAR if you need to.
Always assume a pass until proven otherwise, try and hit 2 exams per testing quarter.
Rinse and repeat until you are done.
Best of luck!

If it were me, I would move on to REG. You will spend a month otherwise worrying about the FAR exam and one of two things will happen then. 1. You will have passed and spent a month not studying, or 2. You failed and will have to sit for the exam again, but will run out of time for REG and have that NTS potentially go to waste. Even if you spend the next month refreshing material, you still run the risk of losing some of that.

You don't really have the risk of losing passing scores, but just the ability to take REG. I would actually wait. The last thing you want to do is pick up an exam, then drop it, then start the next one, then drop that one, then pick up the first exam. Now you lost 2 years of your life and passed nothing. lol.

Make sure FAR is your first exam, keep studying till you pass, then starting buying other exams and then start fighting the 18 month window. Right now, you haven't triggered it at all, so time isn't your enemy.
