This question is only for those who have taken both BEC AND REG in the last 6 months.

Question: Which do you think required more TIME to study for, i.e. lectures, reading, working questions, etc. included?

I can only fit one in before my NTS expires and I don't really have enough time for either. I know we usually think BEC is smaller, but the recent posts about it seem to indicate that it's gotten a lot harder in the last couple of testing windows. Anyone have any advice about which to start next?

AUD - 88 - using Bisk, and btw, Bob Monette ROCKS
FAR - 90
REG - 85
BEC -
Ethics - 100

REG without a question. REG material w/o ancillary had more material to know than entire BEC combined.

B - (4/2012)
A - (5/2012)
R - (1/2012) Done!
F - (10/2011) Done!

I haven't taken both yet, but I will say that there is a LOT less info in BEC than in REG.

REG - 89
BEC - Waiting on score
FAR - 8/31/12

I spent more time on REG (8 weeks) than i did on BEC (5 weeks) and got similar scores in a recent window. Everyone is different but i needed more time to get through the REG material.

AUDIT 7/29/11 - 87
REG 10/7/11 - 86
BEC 11/24/11 - 85
FAR 2/24/12 - ???

Agree with everyone else. I took REG in late July but gave myself close to 2 months to study for it. Took BEC 5 weeks later and took a week off in between. Just know your formulas

REG - 7/23/11 - 87
BEC - 8/30/11 - 78
FAR - 11/23/11 - 89
AUD - 1/14/12 - 88

If you have a business undergrad degree and took marketing/economics/operations/finance classes then definitely take BEC. Even if you didn't do that or it was too long ago to remember any of it BEC is gonna be easier/less work.

For the record I took and passed both in July/August of 2011

REG (7/7/11) 75
FAR (7/28/11) 76
BEC (8/27/11) 81
AUD (10/15/11, 1/20/12) 63, 91

DONE!!!
