    My FAR will expire in Oct. The only test that’s left is REG (hopefull i passed AUD). I want to take it in early June. Is it possible? What material should I use? My Becker expired so I just bought the Ninja MCQ.

    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I wouldn't recommend it, but I think it is possible. What day does your FAR expire in October?

    my FAR will expire on 10/31.

    And I cant take it in mid or late June cause its the blackout month. They have the 10 day extension only starting this quarter.

    I was just thinking if I take it once and not pass I will still have a second chance in the Fall testing window.

    If you take the exam in July and fail, you would still have a chance to take it again in Oct before your FAR expires

    If you've got the money to blow, go for it. I personally couldn't imagine knocking this out in that amount of time unless I had a strong tax background.

    FAR - 75 (2/25/16)
    AUD - 80 (4/8/16)
    REG - 80 (6/10/16)
    BEC - 79 (7/19/16)

    You only get one shot with the spirit bomb.

    if you have 10 – 12 hours per day to study and study only. It can be done, but on full throttle. Good luck if you decide to jump in.

    @donnychristal – Are you working? I took this week off from work to bang out as much REG as I could for my test next week and I say it's totally possible. Like tncincy said, 10-12 hours a day, can be done. I'm probably doing 8-9 and I bet that would even be enough. Again, assuming you're not working. Good luck!

    It's not ideal, but if you don't mind risking paying the money twice, I say go for it. I'd do the same exact thing if I were in your shoes. It will really help if you are tax person. I used Roger and cut out half of the lectures by taking pretests over the MCQ bank. I also used the Content Specific Outlines for all of the exams – it's a great guide to help you determine when to spend more time on a topic vs moving on. And, for what it's worth, I knocked out FAR in 21 days. 🙂 Not saying that to brag by any means – just want to let you know that an aggressive study plan is possible.
