I have FAR on July 20th and I may move it. I’m on a highly demanding Internal Audit Client where I work 12 hours a day w/o my 1 hour commute. I’m currently starting F5 in Becker.

You seem smart tbh. My gut is telling me you can pass on 7/20 lmao!

Hey there, you can knock out at least a module/day. I'm at F7 now and is taking the exam on July 23 and is having off year busy season for the whole month of June. But I also planned for 1 week of crap sims and 2 weeks of mock exams.

I would say move it to end of July if you can, so that you can practice mock exams.

You may be a faster learner than me though and can do more than one module a day while working 12 hours.

Best of luck!

[Continued] I also have to go California for a week for walkthroughs (I’m based in Boston). I have BEC and AUD done. I get REG results on 6/28. Should I move FAR for my peace of mind? I’m also off for 6 weeks from September - October.

Thanks for the input! My big worry right now is my REG score. If I fail it, should I study for FAR during my leave of absence and maybe try and switch my exam from FAR to REG? Or leave FAR as is and study for REG during my leave?

They’re not releasing scores until September, so not matter if you take it July 20th or September 10th, you’re getting your score the same time. I’d say take it this testing window no matter what, and if you have to take it again, take it again. That’s my advice.

Anyone else tired of the assumption that because you’re a partner you have to think a certain way and believe certain things. I’m talking about wokeness, work from home, and the recent ever constant pushing of the needle to the left or risk getting “cancelled”. I’m fairly liberal politically so for me to be saying this I think may say something for the current climate. I should be able to hold and express my own opinions without being quashed because I’m not “woke” enough.
