    I am using Becker and have everything but BEC remaining. I am having a difficult time trying to plan the remainder of my exams and I would like to know what a good range is for those who use Becker.I made sure I had two weeks to cram Ninja MCQ for BEC after learning the Becker material and it really seemed to reinforce what I learned, but I’m not sure if that’s the norm. Thanks in advance for any advice!

    AUD- 69, 76

    BEC- 83

    FAR- 67

    REG- 78

    I would not go by weeks I would go by recommended amount of hours and then determine how many hours per week you can effectively study. That will give you your weeks needed.

    AUD - 98
    BEC - 84
    FAR - 94
    REG - 86
    No more procrastinating!

    AUD - 98 - 3.9.17
    BEC - 84 - 6.8.16
    FAR - 94 - 2.22.17
    REG - 86 - 5.23.17

    Bec, 6/8/2016 - 84!
    Far, 7/12/2016

    IMHO, there's no good answer for this one.

    I use the Becker study guide approach where you click how many hours per week you plan to study and then they auto-make a schedule for you. In terms of timing, Becker says 200 hours on FAR, I think NINJA says 130 hours. For REG, I spent probably 75% of the time Becker recommended. For FAR, I spent probably 300 hours (first time of studying, second time was around 175). I think it really depends where your strengths are coming into the tests.

    Good idea on doing the NINJA MCQ the last two weeks. I might try that method 🙂

    I'm going to be the person who says "I finished even though..." not the person who says "I didn't finish because..."

    B - 77, 76

    A - 57, 64, 72, 76!

    R - 78, 72, 78!!! DONE

    F - 54, 73, 71, 64, 69, 76!
