I’m looking to take REG and BEC next quarter and am wondering how long it generally takes to get through the materials?

A little background:
I used about 8 weeks for FAR and scored an 86.
I used about 6.5 weeks for AUD and scored an 82 (honestly was ready by week 5-5.5)
I use WileyCPA Excel to watch the videos and complete the assessments, then ideally about 7-10 days for final review of hammering Ninja MCQ’s.

I study about 4.5-5 hours a day Monday-Sunday while working full time.

I’m thinking I could study for REG sufficiently in about 6 weeks and BEC in 4.5 weeks?
This timeline puts me on the last day of the quarter to take BEC.

How long have some of you guys taken to study for these parts?

I'm going to try 4 weeks for both. I figure I will have about 100 hours invested in REG, and probably about 80 invested in BEC.
I generally pick up around Feb 1st with tax work, so we'll see how it plays out. If I miss BEC I'll pick it up again April 17th.

If you got an 86 in FAR in any amount of time I bet you can pass BEC in 3 weeks, 4 if you want to say 100%
REG — I'd use the same amount of time you used for FAR.

My study time (same about 4-5 hours a day, everyday):

BEC – 5 weeks
REG – 4 weeks (Fail)
AUD – 3 weeks
REG – 5 more weeks
FAR – 9 weeks

BEC: 85
REG: 74, 78
AUD: 86
FAR: October?

40 hours studying for REG -75 – but I do taxes at a CPA firm

300 hours in total for BEC- 74,74,81. BEC is a mini beast in itself. don't be fooled when ppl say its easy

I studied for REG in 4 weeks, about 5 hours per day, one day of rest per week. BEC in 9 days, no rest hella mcqs.

Thanks everyone, your comments definitely help. Shawn – definitely not underestimating BEC just based solely on the amount of comments I read on here relating to the difficulty.
