Would studying for an taking FAR and REG in the next 3 months be possible? I work B4 at our office’s toughest public client, so I’m gonna have 3 weeks of busy season for the Q where I’ll be studying weekends only. Then my normal hours are long enough that I only have 2-3 hours a night to study, but I am taking a full 2 weeks off at Christmas that can be used to study.

Wondering if it would be a better idea to pair FAR with BEC since it’s less content. My AUD score is gonna expire in June so I’m trying to see if I can avoid a retake.

I'd personally pair it with BEC if you're in a time crunch
