    Hi all,

    I am new to this website and in desparate need of advice. I need to schedule my audit and FAR exams. Now, my choices are to either take AUD at the end of May (giving myself 1.5 months to study for it), or schedule FAR for July and use that time (2 full months) to study for FAR and do AUD after that?

    I am using CPAExcel, wiley TB, and Ninja notes/audio

    How many hours a day can you study? Of course, different things work for different people but I would recommend getting in 120 hours of studying for each section.

    FAR- 85 I'm DONE!
    BEC- 75
    REG- 60,60,75
    AUD- 74,74,83

    CPAExcel used for BEC, AUD, REG
    Exam Matrix used for FAR plus NINJA Blitz, cpareviewforfree and a little CPAExcel

    I can dedicate 15-20 hours a week (roughly) to each. I just don't know if I should use the full 2 months and get FAR out of the way (my first exam). If I do audit in 1.5 months, that gives me no bufffer if something were to happen or and I can't study for a couple days for some reason, which is what I'm worried about also.

    I would get FAR out of the way first. I saved it until last but so many people say that it helps with the other sections and to take it first.

    I would recommend taking FAR as early as you can for a couple of reasons. First, you will definitely see things from FAR in the rest of the exams (except for probably REG). For example, I had a FAR sim on my AUD exam. Secondly, FAR is the largest of the exams so you'll want to get that out of the way before your 18 month clock starts ticking. Third, in my personal opinion, FAR is the monster of the four. REG was the toughest material for me, but the sheer volume of FAR can be overwhelming. It's a nice relief to get that out of the way.

    F- 7/13- 84
    R- 10/13- 79
    A- 11/13- 99
    B- 1/14- 86

    This exam ALMOST defeated me back in 2006-2008, but I came back and WON!
