Let me just start by saying that I haven't even purchased my study materials yet, but I'm eager to begin studying! What is wrong with me??? I'm trying to decide what to study first! I know most people...

Most here will recommend FAR first, but that'll require immense effort, concentration and consistency in order to keep the material fresh. I've seen everyone approach the order of the test differently.

First of all, I wouldn't study for 5 months before taking an exam. There is a significant memory component to these exams and you should never study for more than 2 months. Secondly, we'll see how long...

Best case scenario it would be nice to get FAR out of the way first. However, if you end up losing your first exam (hopefully that won't happen, but you never know, life happens sometimes) you wouldn't...

I am in a similar position. I just finished the CMA exam, AND I studied for BEC. But after hearing that FAR and REG questions are on BEC, and since 2 months later I am still waiting for the AICPA state...

Get the one you think is hardest for you, done first. This way when the clock start ticking after you pass the first exam, you have the easier one in front of you. This way you can devote 3 to 4 months...

Thank you all so much for the responses! Smashbox20, I have finally built my soul back up from getting through the MBA - it took 5 years! I am sure I will only be eager to finish once I start...

I just started studying for FAR and hope to take it in November but January 2015 is likely so I have to disagree that 4 months is too long to study for an exam especially a huge one like FAR. Since I...

Any reason you couldn't test in November? Start studying now, strike while the iron is hot!

I'd say start with FAR, as it is most definitely the most material heavy and will likely take the longest to study for. (It did for me, anyways) Plus, as I go through BEC currently, it seems that a lot...

I studied for FAR first, ended up passing it on my 3rd round right after I passed BEC. I feel like FAR is a beast and a good base of knowledge that helps with all the other exams.

If I could do it over again, I'd probably start with FAR. It's hard and intense, but the material you learn has some overlap with AUD. I'd then take AUD next since it is closely related. Next, I'd take...

You can study over a long period of time if you really have to, but it is inefficient because you just end up restudying the early stuff again when you get closer to your test. I'm not sure that much...

I would test in November, but there is a professional development grant where I work - I can submit it for January and get up to $500 reimbursed for my exam and registration fees. I've already used it...

Take FAR REG as your first two. Trust me. With your background BEC will be easy and by the time you're on your 3rd 4th test you have a harder time studying than for your first.

I am contemplating sitting for FAR in January. I'm planning to start studying and using Becker from September onwards. How does the NTS process work? Just trying to get the timeline down.
