Update.. there’s no way I’ll get through all of this material in the next 6 days. It’s laughable. That being said, are there any chapters or material that anyone would suggest focusing less on? Or things that I should really focus on in the last half of the book? At this point, I’m taking this as a practice test but just checking for any tips.

I think you should push the test date back. No need to waste money at this point. Give yourself a fighting chance by studying this thoroughly.

FAR - (Let's not talk about that score)
AUD - 77!
REG - 70, 70
BEC - 77!

I would agree. I pushed back my BEC date and am SO GLAD. I kept telling people “I'd rather spend $95 to move the date and pass, then fail and have to spend $250.”

Of course, if your NTS is about to expire you're SOL. Pick 1 or 2 topics you want to start your study routine with anyway (I chose Gov't and NFP accounting, since I work in NFP and these two topics are very similar) and give it your full attention. At the very least you'll start out your studying for the rematch with those topics solid in your knowledge.

Exam:I'm done 🙂 🙂 🙂
REG - 71 (2/22/14); 67 (4/3/14); 74 (8/29/15); 83 (2/29/16)!!!
BEC - 72 (5/24/14); 85 (1/3/15)!!!!
AUD - 72 (8/23/14); 76 (10/15/14)!!!
FAR - 77 (5/26/15)!!!

Started in 2013 using Kaplan and failed REG, REG, BEC, AUD. Switched to NINJA suite in Sept 2014 and passed AUD...then BEC...then FAR!
REG took 2 tries but I finally got it in too!
I'm a hard convert - Using NINJA method with NINJA video/book/notes/MCQ

Education: Check
Experience: 3 months left! I hit 4 years on May 30 🙂

I can't push it back. My NTS runs out in March which is an off month. I was on both 9/30 and 12/31 year end clients this year so I haven't had 16 minutes to study between Oct and now. Oh well. I'll just hope for the best

If your NTS is going to expire, then give it a try. If you pass, you pass. If you fail, then you have the additional time to be better prepare for your retake in April or May.

Bonds, Leases, Government Accounting are the three I would concentrate most on if I had to choose.
