I just sat for REG 1/18 and was planning to take my AUD retake 4/10. Well now I’m bouncing around the idea of trying to get AUD in 3/9 or 3/10. I already have my NTS but haven’t scheduled anything yet. I want to hit the books and see how I feel closer to the date.

The problem is if there are no test dates left or I’m just not feeling comfortable with the material (I work full time, am a somewhat slow studier and last took AUD back in May) I will need to take the test the new way which means buying the new Becker book and trying to feel comfortable with the unknown within a Month or having to push the test back.

What would you do?

@Christy I would take the exam at the end of this window. Since you just took REG yesterday, give yourself maybe a couple days to relax and then maybe get back into the swing again. I am working full-time as well and I have AUD scheduled for March. From what I have heard from my coworkers, 5-6 weeks is enough time to study for AUD (obviously, that depends on your consistency, pace, efficiency etc. as well). Plus, having taken AUD in May, you're at least familiar with the new material. Since you have your NTS, you may be able to go to the prometric website and check for availability. If not, do you have the option of going to a farther test center?

@SchruteBeet My primary Prometric center spoiled me, it's roughly 3 miles from my house! Next two closest are about 30 miles (same state) and 63 miles away in the next state. So yeah I'm keeping those options open if needed but hoping I don't need them. I'm a nervous wreck on test day as it is!

I took REG on 1/18 and I have AUD scheduled for 3/10. I also work full time. I’m going for it.

I'd absolutely take a crack at it in Q1. Having the deadline should give you some study pressure and there's a good chance you'll pass! Worst case: you'll get a score report that will guide your Q2 re-review if necessary. I think the Q2 score release being delayed until August would be enough motivation for me to sacrifice and take it early.

B - 88 (2/16)
A - 84 (4/16)
R - 73 (6/16), 82(7/16)
F - 67 (1/16), 84(4/16)

Ethics - 93
