I'm taking REG this Friday and I'm scheduled to take FAR on 11/30. I don't know if I should stick with this plan and retake AUD in January or get a new NTS and take Audit sometime in November and try and get FAR done before I start work at a big 4 in January. Luckily I don't start until 01/11. I want be done with these exams before I start work because once I do I won't have time to do anything other then work until after April. Advice?

Hmm. I would schedule REG for end of October, reschedule FAR for beginning of Jan, and schedule AUD for mid-November while it is relatively fresh in your mind. I think it would be easier getting AUD off your mind so you could focus and put all your energies into studying for FAR from mid November to end of December.

I come from the BIG 4 and I can tell you that after busy season ends, you will want to take a break to decompress and reconnect with friends and family. You will probably not want to pick back up on your CPA studies until June.
