Please study. I devoted one year to studying 4 hours every day 7 days a week. Once you pass you only need 40 hours of study each year. I have been a CPA for 36 years. I only had to study one year then it is done and behind you for life.

I’ve taken FAR a few times at this point. I got two 74s and this past one I got a 70. I felt like the last exam (which was a few weeks ago) was extremely harder than the other ones. Has anyone else noticed the exam getting extremely tough? Or do you think I just got a one off?

Is BEC doable in 2.5 weeks while working full time - 40 hours? I plan on dedicating 3 hours each weekday and 12 hours each weekend day. I most likely will also have a bit of time during working hours.
