For the remaining period in 2023, which one would be a better choice to study and finish it by the year end: AUD or BEC? Haven't started studying neither but just trying to see if I can finish one section before YE.

BEC. I think it’s the easiest to cram for. Also since the exam is basically being removed next year, I’d rather pass an exam with a ton of resources and a known format, than try to navigate a completely new exam.

BEC. Even though AUD is getting more material, it’s going to be pretty unknown what the new concentration exams contain. Plus, as SA1 mentioned, it’s easier to cram for. AUD can be a little more tricky

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
