I just graduated this August and I want to take on the beast first. I will start at my firm 8/19, so I would like to take FAR before November. I will be using Becker to study, how long do you think it will take me to be prepared for FAR, if I'm studying full-time with no job. Thanks in advance for any responses

If you have started studying and you are consistent (and you are getting what you are studying), you should be ready by end of October. The best answer is, once you start studying and taking the review tests - you will know from your scores whether you are making progress or not. The progress you make determines how soon you will be ready to take the exam. It depends on YOU - and that's the truth.

Lets say I double or even triple the daily hours to either 10 -15 hours a day. You figure I could do it in 3 weeks?

It'd be tough to prepare for FAR in three weeks. I couldn't do it.

It's doable. It's difficult but doable. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't need to pass it anytime soon. I tried to do 2 weeks 10 hours a day, I didn't have enough time to review any material. Hence why I will probably see a 60 next week on FAR.
