    I am scheduling my retake of AUD early July and if something happens where I don’t pass then it’s a very long time until I can take it again.

    Do you guys normally start studying for your next section and cram when it’s time to retake or keep pushing the same section?

    The extension dates does more harm than good. 🙁

    AUD - 70, 84

    Save the beast for last.

    Start studying for the next section.

    It wouldn't matter if the window was extended or not. September is normally a black out month anyway

    Is this your last exam? If not, what does your study schedule look like roughly for your remaining exams?

    I was in the same boat as you Q1 of this year. I retook AUD in early January, had to wait about a month for my score, and started studying BEC pretty much right after so I could take it at the end of the end of the testing window. I won't lie, I had the hardest time focusing on BEC while I was waiting for my AUD score. By the time I got my score, I was able to focus and go nuts on BEC for about three weeks and was able to pull it off. I kinda find it funny the one I only studied a few weeks for I passed the first try, while all the others I studied 150+ hours and failed the first try. Maybe the cram is the way to go?

    But I wish you luck on your Q3 tests. Taking FAR in the same window as any other exam is a bold move, but I don't doubt it can be done. My only advice is do whatever you can to forget about AUD after you take it (before seeing your score), you are going to need that mental energy for FAR.
