    Hello everyone,

    I have passed BEC (first try), AUD (first try), and REG (second try), which leaves me with just FAR to complete. I have a difficult decision to make and looking for some advice.

    I currently am signed up to take FAR for my first time in a week and a half. However, I have done very very minimal studying (like only formally reviewed 2/10 Becker chapters). I am not sure if I should sit for the exam (which there is a 99% chance I will fail) or reschedule it for February.

    The problem is that my BEC and AUD exams expire at the end of the next testing window (March 2016), leaving me only two chances to pass FAR before I lose my credit for those two exams and pretty much give up on the CPA. My original plan gave me two chances to pass FAR (once in Nov and once in Feb) but since I have not prepared properly for the Nov take, I am wondering what to do.

    Should I..

    A) Reschedule the exam for February and study insanely hard for 3 months? I will only have that one chance to pass FAR which would be a lot of pressure. Will save $200 on another NTS. This is putting all my eggs in one basket.

    or..

    B) Sit for the November exam with the 99% chance I’d fail just as a practice run/pray a miracle may happen. In this case, I am wasting about 200 dollars for a new NTS for the February take which I am not happy about doing along with my time.

    BEC - Passed! 81
    AUD - Passed! 90
    REG - Passed! 76
    FAR - Passed! 79
