    I’m using becker. It took me four months to study for aud. I’m 3 months into far and i’m only 70% of my way through the material. Slow and steady is my motto.

    AUD - 81

    FAR - 77

    See my signature, I used Becker as well. BEC and FAR were before I was working, studying 25-30 hours a week. AUD and REG were after I started working, about 20 hours a week. And I split up REG between before and after busy season, so that one took a bit longer.

    Definitely took my time with it, but different approaches work for different people.

    BEC - 90 (7/19, 8 weeks)
    FAR - 78 (10/19, 10 weeks)
    AUD - 75 (12/19, 8 weeks)
    REG - 90 (7/20, ~12 weeks, split up)

    Ethics - 97 (~6 hours to go through the material & take the quiz)
    Licensed in Virginia (10/20, ~1.5 weeks to process after submitting everything)

    I didn't study for FAR and got lucky that school had really prepared me well.
    AUD, BEC and REG – NINJA Book and MCQs all the way. Ninja MCQs have everything you need to pass.

    This was before the exam changes but I studied:
    AUD 8 weeks but it was 2 weeks too long
    BEC an extended 12 weeks because nothing would stick and it was my lowest score. It was a 3 hour exam with only MCQ and WC back then
    REG about 10 weeks but I missed some study time due to deaths in my family.

    It's not good to study too long but you do need to use your time wisely and feel ready when you walk in the door at Prometric.

    You can do this. Good luck!

    Info in signature below.
    I was out of school for 15 years and needed to re-learn how to study effectively.
    FAR was a lot of trial and error.
    You'll figure out what works and doesn't work as you go and your last section will probably be greatly reduced from your first as you figure out your own system.
    For me it was videos and MCQs.

    I took about three months to study for each section. This is due to working full-time and having a wife and three kids at home. I studied about 2 hrs a day during the week, 3 hours on Sat and took Sun off. You will need to find what works for you and your study habits.

    AUD 75

    FAR 82

    BEC 87

    REG 79

     

    REG 55,53
