Need some advice. My FAR credit expires August 31st and I just found out I failed BEC with a 63. I also still have to pass AUD. I am currently going through my busy season and it’s a lot and I haven’t had to much time to study. Should I wait until my engagements are done and study or try and take it again at the beginning of March?

If you can swing it, I suggest pushing yourself and retake it at the beginning of March. I know it's a lot, but you'll feel better if you can pass them sooner!

I appreciate the advice! I’m a staff 1 so I am still learning the ropes and trying to gage how long busy season lasts.

Oh man really sorry, I would say do it sooner if you can but otherwise, wait until your engagements are done if you don't feel like you're gonna be able to handle it all (which is totally fair)
