to decide which section to go for first??????

HUGE family commitments, 2 kids in school & a 6 month old baby who needs me ALL the time....almost everyone says to take the FAR first and get it over with...but I am a rusty MBA (10+ years)...don't work....don't remember much except baby stuff: diapers/wipes/bottle etc:)..so do you think tackling an easier section is a better choice, like BEC/REG?

I LOVE U GUYS..AWESOME FORUM!!!

You're going to take FAR at some point, so might as well take it first while you're motivated. It's not like you'll be any less busy in a few months.

BTW, on the mom thing... I'd get the harder one out of the way first cause
you know once they get mobile (or even more so) its just that much more
challenging to study. Why not study when the baby naps? I'm lucky that my
2 y/o still takes naps
