Hi, I’m VERY new to this forum, so apologies if this has been addressed recently in another thread (I searched and didn’t find anything). I’d like some feedback on my exam plan:
FAR – beginning of July
AUD – beginning of Aug
REG – end of Aug
BEC – beginning of Oct
Reasoning:
Most people seem to think FAR is hardest and it’s best to get that out of the way first in case you have to retake it. Most people also seem to think BEC is quite hard because it covers such a range of material. My current semester (hopefully the last, if I pass cost II!) ends at the end of April, so I will have less competing for my attention beginning in May. Taking BEC last will give me some additional study time for that section in September.
Concerns:
I’m a little worried about REG. I did well in my tax classes (Bs) but I don’t feel I have an intuitive understanding of the material. Same for law.
Strengths/assets:
I feel my technical understanding of GAAP is quite good. I have 4 years of experience as an auditor plus 5 years in a private company’s accounting department. School has always been relatively easy for me (until cost II, anyway–this class is killing me). I am extremely motivated to pass all parts ASAP.
Weaknesses:
I hate to study. For anything.
Any and all feedback is welcomed! Thank you!
