I passed all 4 in six months while working full time and juggling my family. You just have to decide you're going to get through it and commit everything you can.
Not this male, scatterbrained af
Took me 20 months working full time because I didn’t want to make myself go crazy. I didn’t miss out on social & life events and I don’t regret how long it took me at all.
Same same. Nothing wrong with that. All that matters is if you pass in the end haha.
6 months to pass 4 while working 50-60 hours per week. Just do it.
I did two exams while working in 7 months. (Failed 1 of them and had to retake).
How ambitious you want to be will strongly correlate with how much you’re willing to hate your life.
I did FAR and BEC in about 7 months. But I had a few of months of not studying in there.
I took all 4 in less than 3 months (first test at end of May, was done in mid August) - it’s entirely possible but depends on your short term memory and test taking skills, and how much time you devote to it. I was studying every single day for 12-14 hrs a day with no weekends or breaks other than a couple days after each test before starting on the next one
I would schedule the four exams out over two testing windows. For example: take AUD January 1, BEC February 28, FAR April 1, and REG May 31. Then if you failed any of them (up to two) you can take the one you failed on July 1 and Aug 31. If you've failed again you have another go October 1 and Nov 30.
This approach gets you done within one calendar year. You have to devote a lot of time to studying. If things go terribly wrong you still have two windows in 2021 before your first exam would expire.
So in theory it would take 5 months start to finish, but you would have studied for AUD in December 2019 and finished REG in May 2020
I know a manager who took two months off in the summer and passed all sections during that time
I did it in 6 months. Passed all on first try, averaged 90. Spent 8-10 hours a day studying including using Becker flash cards (which I highly recommend). Also watched all video and did the questions, multiple times. Good luck.
Becker flash cards were well worth the extra price. I remember there being questions directly from those cards
I took about 5 months to complete the exams prior to starting work
Yes I was studying full time
If you’re studying full time it can be done in 4 month easy. 3 is even possible because audit and bec don’t require a full month to study. And depending on how you learn FAR and REG can be done in less than a month as well
I took all 4 parts in a 8 week span between graduation and starting full time. Studied 2 weeks for each, about 8 hrs a day.
It took me a little over a year to pass all 4. Took 6 in total!
Almost exactly a year while working full time. I passed all on my first try, but also never took any of them or studied anything during busy seasons (both Jan-April 15 and August-October 15) just scheduled the exams during summer months and before Christmas.. Made it more manageable that way I believe. Good luck!
It took me 8 months to pass three exams while working (AUD, BEC, REG). If studying full time, maybe 6 months.
I know someone that did it in two months, but that's not the norm.
I did it in 9 months while working full time. That included having to retake 2 parts. I know someone that did it in 4 months while working but I don’t think that’s feasible for most.
It took me 1 year to take/pass 2 exams
18 months
I took FAR after studying for about 2 months studying 16-20 hours a week. Then I started work in August and passed AUD and BEC in about 3.5 months. I am now working on REG and hoping to be done by March
4 period
