I have reg, far, and AUD remaining. BEC expires 12/31/21. I also want to sit for gmat by that time. Help me with a schedule please! I’m thinking reg by mar, far by June, aud by early august, study for gmat and take by dec. Thoughts?

I’d focus on passing The CPA first just cause you don’t want to lose bec. Studying around your busy seasons will probably be for the best. I’d probably study FAR first cause that’s the hardest. And just push off the gmat till next year because if you try to do too much in too little time you will either struggle so much that life will be hell or won’t meet your goals. You can totally pass three tests in a year just gotta be dedicated and study the recommended time plus 10%

Thanks!

You don't need to spend that much time studying for GMAT - take 4 weeks, figure out the tricks for the quant section, brush up on your grammar, and hammer PTs. It's just a harder version of the SAT.
I used Manhattan Prep's interactive course, only did the math/grammar sections for a month and got a 720 (fair warning I've always been really good at reading comprehension and scored an 800 on SAT math which shares a lot of the same concepts). Only reason I was able to get into business grad school since I was a music major in undergrad with a sub-3.4 GPA.

Are you a tax accountant? Auditor? What do you do. Work around your busy season. Also what are your goals? Aka what level (ranking) school are you trying to. The higher you go the higher gmat score you need. Aka the more studying you require.

Came from tax. Left last year for senior accountant position. Have passed BEC and AUD in past but lost the credits. Have also sat for Reg but did not pass. I graduated with a pretty good GPA in undergrad. Shooting for Top 25 MBA program and trying to fall into fp&a space. MBA for personal check off for masters and opportunities for management positions in industry. Have been out of school now for 4 years
