Hi
I understand that so many people are trying to take two sections in this window to avoid Q2 changes,I am one of them.How you are balancing or allocating the time for two sections.Your ideas or suggestions are welcome

I am taking two exams this section (BEC and AUD). I took BEC at very beginning of the month and plan on taking AUD March 6, giving me about two months to study for AUD after having taken BEC. Hopefully that's enough.

Definitely don't think studying for both exams at the same time would have been a good idea!

For now I'm just waiting for Feb 7 with clenched teeth.

I took BEC yesterday and am scheduled to take AUD on 3/10. I plan to start studying for AUD on Monday. I don't think I could've done well trying to study for 2 sections at once. I commend anyone who can.

I just took AUD on the 20th and taking BEC on Feb 13th or so. Just based on my observation, it is better to just go intense for 2-3 weeks and take the exam. My caveat is that I am a full time grad student taking 12 credits so that is my full time job.
It is hard to shift my mental gears from CPA review to grad school work. And studying for months at a time, you forget alot of earlier concepts which leads to frustration and panic.
Knowledge is perishable and you'll even forget half the material you've read on the same day.
Some concepts take a while to sink in, but I think a month is sufficient to take any section, save for FAR. that is just my perspective based on my studies and the type of questions that popped up on the exam and passing FAR and REG on the first try.

“Knowledge is perishable and you’ll even forget half the material you’ve read on the same day”. profund statement particularly in context of CPA exam.

I'm literally going back and forth between sets (wish me luck)

20 MCQ FAR, then 20 MCQ BEC. I refuse to see the next chapter until I score an 80%. Whenever I start a new chapter, I read that chapter in the text. I have 1 more to go in FAR and 4 more to go in BEC. Been doing this since December. I'm seriously realizing how much of a joke BEC is to FAR by doing this lol, not saying that I'll easily pass or anything 😉

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)
REG - 55 (2/16) 69 (5/16) Retake(8/16)
BEC - 71(5/16) Retake (9/16)
FAR - (8/16)

Bless your heart mtaylo, I was considering how I could do the same (study for two sections ) but I am worried about not having enough time. Good luck though, you just might be finished after this round. Keep those fingers crossed for the rest of us.
Starting Reg on the 1st of Feb.

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

I did two sections for three quarters. It is a lot of work. I would get one test out of the way, then spend the next 6-8 weeks preparing to take one in the ten days of the third month (which is obviously gone for yall next quarter).

But to do this, I started studying for the first test of the quarter in the dead period.

I took REG on 1/18, waiting on my score. I have AUD scheduled for 3/10. Trying my hardest to get them finished before April changes. Then all I would have left is FAR. I've got to get my butt in gear and get to studying AUD. I'm waiting for Jeff's audio to load onto my iPod right now so that I can listen to it while I work tomorrow.
