   Alright, I need some input from you guys and gals...

   I already passed BEC. I just took AUD today and feel pretty good about it, but you never know.

   My original plan was to go with the BARF method, just based on the acronym itself and no other logical reason. But instead of taking REG next, I'm wondering if I should go for FAR in case I end up failing AUD, since they seem to interlap in some cases.

   Thoughts?

   BEC: Passed
   AUD: Passed
   REG: 05/12
   FAR: 08/12

   I think I'd go with FAR if I were you because some things you covered in your previous studies may help for FAR. REG, to me is the least "accounting" related exam, so I think you'd be better off taking that last.

   FAR 88 (07/15/11)
   BEC 83 (08/31/11)
   AUD 81 (10/15/11)
   REG 83 (11/26/11)

   I haven't taken FAR yet, but I wish I took that part first.

   I passed my BEC and AUD, too. But now I barely get my endurance to pass my REG...

   I heard taking FAR teaching you HUGE endurance. Plus there're some parts in FAR that's included in REG; so FAR might help :)

   I would go for FAR next since they do overlap in certain spots. That's what I did this window and I'm finding myself saying....oh yeah I remember that in Audit!!

   Since 2008....
   AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!)
   REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011)
   FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73 - Rematch scheduled on May 29, 2012
   BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70 (Are you kidding me?????) - July 17th, 2012 -> Rematch!!
   
   I WILL BECOME A CPA IN 2012!!!

   I agree.. FAR next will probably be helpful since you just passed BEC and possibly AUD. There is some overlap..

   Maryland Candidate:
   REG: 73(11/2010) 84 (01/2011)
   BEC: 65 (5/11) 01/22: 79!!
   AUD: 85 (08/2011) FAR: 81 (11/2011)

   I would have done FAR earlier (to give a gap between FAR and REG), but now that you're here you would probably be best served by FAR next (there is some overlap... just a bit). Good luck!

   BEC 86 (08/30/11)
   FAR 84 (10/13/11)
   REG 88 (11/08/11)
   AUD 86 (11/29/11)

   Definitely FAR. FAR and AUD have the most overlap. Take it while it's fresh in your mind. Then if you didn't pass AUD, you'll have the FAR down to help you with the FAR j/e sims in AUD.

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

   Go with FAR if you are not that familiar with taxes and business law.

   REG - 07/01/2011 - 93
   AUD - 08/25/2011 - 95
   FAR - 10/29/2011 - 94
   BEC - 11/28/2011 - 90
