Is studying for REG in 6 weeks while working full time realistic? I don’t have a tax background. Trying to plan it out.

Yes but you probably need to commit for full time studying aswell

I was about 10 hours on both days; but just need to find what works for you!

Realistically, probably not. I have no tax experience and took probably a solid 3 months while working.

But 100% could not have done it in 6 weeks myself. If you can, go for it!

I studied for 4.5 weeks and passed but I am in tax. It’s different for everyone it’s doable.

There are only 6 chapters total now!
