    Its been a nice month hiatus from being on this site like a psycho since stressing over my FAR exam which I recently found out I PASSED!

    Now onto my next victim, BEC! How long should I study for it? Just as some insight, I took 7 weeks full time to study for FAR and probably put 300 hours into it (which I know, most would say thats a major overkill). I now know I could’ve gotten away with less if I studied smarter, but it was my first and I didn’t know what I was doing and I was nervous and just really wanted to pass.

    ANYWAY! Now I will be back to being a full time masters student and working part time in the fall and not sure how I will be able to study with everything going on. How long should I give myself to study BEC? What kind of schedule should I put myself on? I know full time it should only take 3.5-4 weeks, but with a full life I have no idea.

    I’d appreciate any input 🙂

    AUD: 98
    REG: 91
    BEC: 86
    FAR: 83

    DONE DONE DONE and DONE all on the first try! It IS possible, just keep on studying!

    Three weeks to learn the material, a week to review. Then exam.

    There is a lot less material than FAR.

    Passed All Four Exams!
