Apparently it’s best to do FAR - AUD (because there’s some AJEs from FAR in AUD sims) - REG - BEC (at last to avoid burn out)

like

REG, FAR, BEC (basically a mini FAR), AUD (has some overlap btw FAR and BEC but more related to BEC so do this one after BEC for sure). REG is the most unrelated to any of these so it’s helpful when ur testing since it’ll start ur clock if u pass this one first and then the rest kinda all relate to each other or overlap a bit.

This was exactly what I was thinking. I took REG already and think I passed (score release tomorrow). I figured REG would be “easiest” for me (not that any are easy). Planning for FAR in early August and then BEC in Novemberish. Then busy season and AUD next summer.

Def do BEC or AUD last tho. You’ll burn out quick if not.

The recruiter said they’d like me to start 11/15. And I seriously want to give notice soooooo bad. I’m so excited to leave that I literally cannot think straight 😂
