    Hello! Some advice would be very helpful! I currently have credit for AUD and BEC, problem is that my AUD credit expires 7/31/19. I just found out I failed FAR with a 67. Is it worth trying to fit in a FAR retake and REG before 7/31, or should I just take my time and accept the fact that I will have to retake AUD??

    Time is not on my side (I work full time and also have a 11 month old son) so I typically can only fit in 2 hours of studying per day during the week.

    Thanks for the help!!

    When does BEC expire?
    I'm afraid it might not work out to pass both FAR and REG by 7/31, but if I were you I would try to sit for FAR, and study/sit for REG before the deadline.
    You might end up with an easier version of FAR that allows you to get a 75… you never know.
    Plan for the worst but hope for the best?

    Thanks for the reply!
    BEC expires 7/31/2020. I am going to focus on my FAR retake and see how that goes before thinking about sitting for REG. I find myself getting too worked up if I have FAR and REG both on my mind. I can't wait for this journey to be over with!

    I think it's possible to pass both FAR and REG in July, studying two hours a day. I would do FAR July 1 and REG July 31. Wouldn't it be great to be done in July? I say go for it.

    Why pass four exams when you can pass six?

    AUD - 87 (expired, 2/12), 81 (7/19)

    BEC - 81 (expired, 4/12), 86 (7/19)

    FAR - 89 (4/19)

    REG - 82 (5/19)

    It depends on how you study. I took my time on both REG and FAR and finally passed. If you do that, you won't have time to sit for both in time to keep AUD. Either way, keep at it. You got this.

    AUD - 71, 79
    BEC - 69, 74, 75
    FAR - 71, 74, 80
    REG - 74, 78

    FAR - 10/3/16
    BEC - 69 - 10/31/16
    AUD - November 2016
    REG - December 2016

    Thanks for the replies! I am going to try to study for my FAR retake and sit the beginning of July…and then dedicate every waking hour I have to be able to take REG 7/31! My main hurdle is just trying to keep my motivation up right now. Hopefully I can celebrate August by packing away all of my CPA books and notes!!

    @charlie, Your strategy sounds like a good plan if trying to study and take two test in a limited window. I must say, you have to be really committed to get it done though. I would do it just because I want to get this over with not because scores or nts is expiring. Has anyone else given a strategy for studying for two sections at a time?

    It begins with a 75
    Been here too long as a cheerleader.....time to pass
