When to retake FAR?

    I just found out I failed FAR with a 71.

    Current tests scheduled:

    REG – Aug 2014

    BEC – Oct 2014

    AUD – Nov 2014

    I am in CA, so my NTS won’t be a factor in this. Should I schedule FAR for my Oct 2014 test date and move BEC to some other date in 2015? I would prefer to retake FAR ASAP while it’s somewhat fresh in my mind. In order to boost my score, I’m planning on taking Roger Cram. Also, I’ll be starting my full-time job in September and am certain I will have zero time to study for additional tests in 2015 until busy season is over. Any thoughts/recommendations? Thanks.

    Yeah, moving BEC to later and taking FAR in Oct would probably be the best use of your time. How much might you be involved in the Sept/Oct extension tax season at your new job?

    FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
    REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
    BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

    I'll be in big 4 assurance, but from what I hear it's common for staff to be studying during downtime while working. I had already planned to be studying 3-4 hours a day on the weekends to prep my scheduled exams so any additional time at work would be a bonus. Thanks for your advice!

    Excellent, that's a good time of year for assurance generally, so you won't be working tons of hours, and you can get studying done. I bet you can take BEC in early January.

    Roger's videos look great. He's my backup plan if I need something to help get me over the hump.
