    I'm studying BEC for six weeks. A month is totally doable. Just get your videos watched right away (if you're using a review course). And take intense notes. Should take about two weeks. Then just use two weeks to do nothing but practice problems. I'm about 3/4 through the book and I started last weekend.

    It may seem easier to me since Internal Control was covered in Auditing and some things in Financial Management was covered in FAR.

    I take BEC the end of May also.

    It's possible,however some people like me can have 9 months to study BEC and still have a rough time. I have gave myself 2 months, first month to get thru all videos,take notes and the book and now hammering mcqs. I have done almost 1,000. Some of the topics are easy some are very difficult. I passed Reg and Aud first try and find BEC more difficult than the other two,

    Reg 11/15/2011 - 80
    Aud 02/28/2012 - 81
    Bec 05/31/2012 - 78
    Far 08/31/2012 - 83 Do you believe in Miracles, YES !!!

    Very doable if you keep up with your study plan…. especially if you have an IT or econ background.

    Reg 77 (Aug 11)
    Aud 80 (Nov 11)
    BEC 79 (Jan 12)
    FAR 80 (April 12)

    I think that studying for either exam is doable in a month. Both sections have a similar amount of information. I would recommend taking the exam in the area you feel more comfortable with, or have past knowledge/experience in. Audit is mostly theory without any computations, while BEC contains a lot of computations and formulas and less theory.

    BEC - 85
    REG - 77
    AUD - 73, 83
    FAR - 68, 89

    I'm doing both in a month (5/31 and 7/11). These two areas are by far my strongest however. I'll let you know how it goes. I don't see it being a problem so far with Audit.

    FAR - 87 (2/17)
    REG - 89 (4/21)
    AUD - 89 (5/31)
    BEC - 89 (7/11)

    Both are doable. Audit is easier to study for and practice questions go faster.
