    Can it be done? I can maybe scrape together 3 hrs a day M-F and then 6-8 on the weekends without losing my mind.

    So far I’ve passed Aud and Far.

    PS I have Becker.

    Yes it can be done. I passed BEC in 4 weeks while working full time and also used Becker. I studied 3 hours each day during the week and 8-9 hours a day on weekends. All you have to do is figure out a study plan that will allow you to be prepared in only 3 weeks.

    Hey, you can do it! I did it within 3 weeks. Full time job, studied 8pm-11.30pm 7 days a week. I took day time rest or just did some multiple choice questions.
    So it is possible and it is durable.
    Same way I did audit. I had 4 weeks but I also had a friends wedding on Bahamas so I had a 5 days break.
    It's all in our heads. Set your goal and you'll do it.

    Thanks, I'm pretty sure I can do it as well. Time management is the most important. No more college football for me. 🙁

    AnnuityDue, what Becker materials did you use when studying for BEC? I have 5 nonconsecutive weeks to study and I dont know which review course to pick. Im looking at Becker's Final Review but not sure if it will cover enough material.

    I think you have more than enough time if you actually study when you say you are. I always tell people to first figure out what you don’t know well by answering a good amount of questions (at least 200) and go from there. You will be much more effective and efficient.

    I did it in 4 weeks with a FT job and also using Becker. It took lots of support at home from my wife with the kids, and it wasn't a terribly hectic period at work. 3 weeks is doable but you better be ready to cowboy up.

    The Becker homework is a little misleading for BEC in my opinion. There are many fewer calculations on the actual test, and the IT questions on the test were much harder and more detailed than the MCQ's in Becker homework. Study the IT chapter until you understand it because just memorizing the key elements might get you in trouble
