    Hi, I am currently in graduate school and will start studying during the Christmas break. I am planning on doing Becker Online and wanted to get advice from you all about my study plan to see if it’s realistic. Next semester, I will be interning 3 days per week (MWF) and only taking 2 classes (Tuesday from 130-730). I graduate in May and plan to take my last exam in May as well.

    Study for Reg 12/8-1/12 (5 weeks) Take Reg 1/13

    Study for Aud 1/14-2-9 (4 weeks) Take Aud 2/10

    Study for Far 2/16-4/1 (6 1/2 weeks) Take Far 4/2

    Study Bec 4/13-4/10 (4 weeks) Take Bec 5/11

    I will have about 30-40 hours of study time per week.I know things may not go exactly as planned but I still would like to have a plan and welcome any advice. I am greatly appreciative for any feedback. Thanks!

    REG - 70, 72, retake at end of Nov.

    I envy you. I wish I could have finished my exams that fast. I'm approaching the 18 month credit expiration for the first section I passed.

    I wish I would have started this process before a full time job, marriage and kids. I wish you the best of luck.

    Stay focused and don't give up if things don't go exactly as scheduled. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

    if you will have 30-40 hrs per week as you've stated then your target dates seem ok. it just appears though that you dont have a day in between exam day and the 1st day of reviewing for the next section. And depending on how you fared on your preceding exams, your focus on to the next exam will vary (obviously either excited or feeling down for the next section).
