    Is this possible? Please share your tips/strategy….

    This is not the ideal situation….I had a last minute trip to France which consumed most of the month of January that was planned to study………. So I am in cram mode

    AUD - NINJA in Training
    BEC - 78
    FAR - NINJA in Training
    REG - 82
    BEC: 78

    REG: 82

    AUD: February 20, 2017

    FAR: January 2, 2017

    Definitely possible.

    How many hours per day, can you dedicate to studying?

    I think this is definitely possible. How long ago did you take AUD? If you still have the material fresh in your head these 3 weeks will be your review time, which is more than enough to get ready.

    When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

    All Done!!!

    AUD 7/6/16 Passed
    BEC 9/3/16
    FAR TBD
    REG TBD

    Totally possible! skip the book- hit the MCQ's and really concentrate on exactly what they are asking / how they are asking the question- biggest / hardest part of AUD is deciphering what the “BEST” answer is not necessarily the right one because many times they all or technically right. GOOD LUCK!

    And they ask me why I drink

    BEC 71, 82
    AUD 75
    REG 75
    FAR 61, 69, 83

    and they ask me why I drink...

    FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
    REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
    BEC- 8/11
    AUD- 9/2

    I did it in a little over 3 weeks so it's definitely doable. I had taken BEC in between my first AUD exam, but I still remembered a lot of the material. What I did was read each chapter in the Ninja book and then do all the mcq's for that chapter. After I made it through the book and all the mcq's I went back and did the missed last time and mixed in some adaptive questions. The last week I did a bunch of sims and skimmed through Roger's book one last time.

    I would get familiar with the AL and where everything is located. It definitely helped me on one sim. I would have had no clue how to answer it had I not been able to find it.

    OMG I just checked and I have 21 days between my AUD exam and the BEC exam. My NTS was expiring and the exam changes in April, so I thought why not just attempt BEC in Q1 and in the old exam window and see what happens. Let me know how it goes for you. I start BEC studying next week right after I take AUD. I can do the same… about 2 hrs a day on weekdays due to work and 8hrs on weekends.
