I have a FAR NTS that is going to unfortunatly expire at the end of the month. I'm contemplating whether I should take a dry run, knowing full well I won't pass, in order to see what the format of the new exam is and what types of IFRS they seem to think is important. Only concern would be the state board seeing a big time bomb of a score and not giving me a licesnse when I to ultimatly pass all parts. ( can they even do that??). Anyone have any thoughts on this? thank you!

Actually scheduling the exam is the only thing that gets me motivated to study. Before then, I just can't get started. Right now, I have an active NTS for Auditing, and I'm not moving yet. But there are still 21 days left in this month, so I have time.
Good luck!

I look at prometric.com every day several times because the dates change as people decide to reschedule. When I went to schedule BEC the other day, 2/23 was the latest available date. Every day since I scheduled, later days appeared and disappeared as someone else beat me to the punch. Today, I finally snagged 2/28 and for $35, bought 5 more days of studying.
