So I didn’t plan my schedule out well, and I’m starting my studying relatively late. I am taking FAR first (scheduled for April 3), and am planning to cover 2-3 lectures a week. I use Becker to plan my schedule, and it’s telling me that I’m going to have to wait another two weeks before I should start studying (so basically, I have nothing to do until then).

Should I go off-schedule and start studying for FAR now and have two extra weeks upon completion of Becker’s schedule (which already includes two weeks of review time), or should I think about studying for another exam in the meantime? I’ve heard that it isn’t really a good idea to study for two at a time, but I really don’t want to waste much more time. Or are there any better options?

Thanks!

If it were me, I would study and take BEC in February. I personally did AUD and BEC in one testing window (April and May) and then FAR and REG in one testing window (Oct and Nov). It was hard, but doable.

Study one section at a time.

FAR: 55, 52, 66
REG: 84*
AUD: 54, 70, 73, 72, 79!!!
BEC: 75*

Yes, if you are ready to begin studying and your Becker schedule has you ending two weeks before your exam, why not move the exam up two weeks?

FAR - 90
REG - 90
BEC - 91
AUD - 99

OP – Start studying for FAR now. You never know what will happen while studying, and FAR is a beast of massive amounts of information. You will need plenty of review time.

Hari – March is a dead month. So, he cannot move his test up 2 or 3 weeks.
