wow that was quick! thank you all for your responses....

I think I'm gonna go with FAR and REG first. As all of you were saying, once i pass the 2 big tests, it's all downhill from there.

I just got my Roger Philipp review course material earlier this week and will try to study at least 1 hour everyday to be able to make the 2 tests in the first window (Jan-Feb).

I'm sure I'm gonna post more often on this forum with all sorts of questions!

thanks again!!

I would tell you to take FAR first because you have to devote the most time to it. Then REG after that and either AUD or BEC. Getting the hardest and the one that you have to study the most for will make you feel like the others are easier.

And this is part of the reason that I would have switched my order in hindsight. I went from easiest to hardest (roughly). The wear and tear on your time and life just keeps getting worse and worse. If the wear and tear was getting better and shorter, I suspect my motivation might be a bit higher.

I agree. I'm took REG first becasue I wanted to take an middle level test but it was hard and FAR was even worse. Now AUD seems like I'm not studying as much.

FAR for sure.... its a monster! I read a few places that for FAR to use the Yaeger final review cram thing because it is good. Wish I would have seen that before I took FAR...I needed it!
