I feel your pain Melby. I too am sitting for the exam and have been out of school 12 years. I had to go back to school for 1 full time semester last fall to get my 150 since it wasn't required 12 years ago. I started w/ BEC since it appears to be the bear of the 4. I started studying for REG while waiting for BEC grade. Didn't pass BEC, but did pass REG on the first try. Just took BEC again a few weeks ago...waiting on that grade now (fingers crossed!). I'm studying for audit now and taking it in October.
My plan is to stick w/ 2 parts at a time and only move on once I pass one part. I don't want to overwhelm myself w/ too much info at one time. Working experience does help some - but it's hard to go back to studying when you haven't done it for so long. Good luck to you and just know you are not alone!!
5 tries the old way (all 4 at one time) NO LUCK!
