Hi everyone,

Im currently on track to graduate in May 2015 with 150 credits and a B.S in Accounting. I’m going to be starting at a public firm in NJ around early Fall and I just want to get a realistic sense of my study plan. I’m hoping to take and pass at least 3 parts of the exam by Fall 2016 (assuming I can pass each on the first try). I’m aiming to take FAR in mid/late July, REG in late August, and AUD in early October. Assuming I apply for my NTS right after graduation, are these timelines realistic if I’m only going to be studying (Becker self-study) and not working during this time? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Those seem reasonable timelines. I'm personally taking 7 weeks to study for REG because I despise tax and am horrible at it.
On a side note, you should consider finding an internship for the summer instead. I've seen so many horror stories on here about people not being able to find a job in public after graduating.

AUD 93 Jan 16
BEC 83 Feb 16
FAR 83 Apr 16
REG 84 May 16

Sorry, I meant on track to graduate in May 2016 not 2015.

@ Biff-1955-Tannen, thanks for the reply! I interned for a firm last summer and will be starting with them full time in early Fall 2016.
