Best time to schedule FAR?

FAR

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to plan out when to take my remaining CPA exams. I passed BEC, studying for FAR I am on the 8th module out of 20. I started studying for FAR about two weeks ago. I want to sit for FAR in the last week of August. I’ll be starting grad school next month and I will be attending mandatory sessions from August 7th through 18th Monday through Friday 8am-5pm. So this limits my studying done during those two weeks. :/

I want to leave around 3 weeks of cumulative reviews so I can practice sims and MCQ hard. But this will overlap with the two weeks I will be at the mandatory sessions. I am on track to finish all of FAR by early August, right before I start my sessions. Ideally if I pass, I will find out Sept 15th. I will study AUD between my score release times. Planning to take around 6 weeks for both AUD and REG and ideally pass both on the first try. If this works I can pass all of the exams before year end.

Do any of you have advice for when to schedule this? Want to make sure I am not stressing myself out by going too fast or slow.

My answer is always to schedule any section immediately get NTS. some pressure is needed

Hi, thanks, the reason why I am waiting is because the Prometric centers near me are unavailable for the dates I want

I keep checking but so far the only thing closest to me is a test center that’s two hours away

I usually wait a week before the cut off date. I try and find the best available time for myself. A lot of people end up canceling as the day approaches.
