I was able to pass REG, FAR and AUD, however, my REG credit expired last October. FAR will expired in December, this year. I want to know my chances of repassing REG before FAR expires. Can someone give me some advice? I failed REG a few times before, but the last time I took it I got an 82.

Your ability to pass REG again will be the same as all the other times you took the exam. Put in the time and effort and you can get another passing grade. If you go into the exam thinking you will pass for sure since you already passed it once and do not study hard, that could negatively affect your score.

Although, with the implementation of continuous testing possibly coming to fruition this year, you'll have as many chances as you want as long as you can pay for them. Yay.

You can do this. I'm sure you will be fine.

FAR - 75 | REG - 87 | AUD - 82 | LAW - 81

Chances of passing without a restudy, after 18 months has passed? Probably pretty slim.
Hit the books, bang out BEC and REG before December.
Stop posting hypothetical questions and start studying. Good luck!

You have 3, maybe 4 attempts to pass REG before your score expires, depending on if you want to attempt in Q1 or not. (you have exactly 3 weeks until the Q1 window closes, which is enough to study for REG) To be frank, barring extenuating circumstances, there is no real excuse to not pass REG in 4, or even 3 attempts, considering you've passed it before, and the difficulty of the exam hasn't changed much since 2018. (not at all suggesting you won't pass) There is no magic formula to pass, you just have to take the exam seriously and study the material like you did last time when you passed. It's only February, I would not get too stressed out about FAR expiring. Your pace through the 4 exams is pretty normal at this point.

AUD - 79
BEC - 88
FAR - 89
REG - 80

Depends on how hard you study. You've passed before, so you should know what it takes to jump the hurdle again.

AUD - 82
BEC - 80
FAR - 81
REG - 82

FAR - 74 first attempt
