    How should I spend my time studying for both. I have to take both this window to have a chance at getting reimbursed for exam material prep cost. I have full Becker. Any input will help!

    I would reschedule your exams personally. One, then the other. I wouldn't study both at once as that's too much material to memorize at one time. Like take BEC 2/10 and FAR 3/10. You'll need a ton of time on your hands and to be very disciplined to study for these with 1 month each, though. I hope you have no job or life.

    I agree with TIm, you need to break these up. Even though BEC is shorter in material, it isn't necessarily easier. I am certainly not saying you cannot do it, but odds are you will not be adequately prepared for one or both. Especially considering your current obligations.

    Best of luck in whatever you decide

    Good luck to you if you can study for both with a wife and kids. I would suggest breaking them up as well.

    Take BEC 2/10 and FAR 3/10. Prepare fully for BEC now since it is your first time taking it. Then after BEC take the whole month to prepare for FAR, generally I would say to start over when studying for a failed section, but you are in a time crunch. I suggest focusing on areas you struggled with the first time and making sure you thoroughly understand them the second time around.

    Good luck

    It depends on what you've been studying since you found out you failed FAR. Did you jump into BEC? If so, and you've been studying a good portion of it already, take BEC first and then go back into FAR. But if you're not too deep into BEC yet, do FAR because 1) you've already seen the material so it shouldn't be too terrible to get back into and 2) it's always a good idea to get the bigger sections completed ASAP.

    I did this last year, sat for BEC (76) on 3/4 and FAR (72) 3/10. These were retakes though, just studied both concurrently from Dec to exam date and made sure to make it through a study unit for both each day. It honestly wasn't too bad, but I probably could have passed FAR if I didn't juggle, but I guess that is something we will never know 🙂
