    I took REG last Friday (June 10th) and am not sure whether to take this week off studying until the score release date or if I should continue studying for REG in the mean time.

    If I didn’t pass my plan is to take REG again in mid/late July then BEC in late August/early Sept! If I pass I plan to move on to BEC in mid/late July. I need to pass REG and BEC before my credit expires for FAR in January!

    Thank everyone for your feedback!

    i continued to do ninja mcqs everyday until score release. nothing heavy just didn't want to lose what i had in case of a retake. reg was my last section. i was not one to study for next while waiting. i did this with all my exams.

    FAR 7/25/15 76!
    AUD 10/30/15 93
    BEC 2/27/16 82
    REG 5/23/16 88!
    Ninja Book and MCQ and the forum - all the way!!!
    and a little thing i like to call, time and effort!
    if you want things to change, you have to do something different

    I was one to move on to the next section while waiting on scores, but I also took breaks, so my standard was to take a week's break, then start studying for the next section while waiting on scores (so, in your case, I'd take a break till the 17th or so, and then plan to take BEC around the end of July regardless of pass or fail on REG). However, since it looks like you prefer to re-take REG before BEC if you failed it, then my plan won't apply to you. 🙂

    I'd still be a fan of a break, though – maybe do something like 1/2 hour of MCQs per day for a week (so that it's mostly a break, but still keeps a bit of info fresh), and then go back to more studying from then till score release day?

    Thank you! That's a good idea to do maybe half an hour of MCQs a night. I already took the weekend off and I probably forgot half of what I had learned 😛

    I don't want to move on to the next exam yet, because so far my record has been to take an exam and fail (with a 72 or 73) the first time and then take it again about a month later and pass in the high 80s. I know it's not the best and maybe I should study a month longer the first time to begin with but the superstitious part of me tells me not too haha 😛

    @vannessa, you seem pretty focused, I would say do something lite like Lilla said, maybe read flash cards, just to stay fresh. (you see I can't get into these mcq's).

    It begins with a 75
    Been here too long as a cheerleader....ready to pass
