I took the Becker Fastpass in June and didn't study at all in July until the 22nd. I scheduled AUD on Aug 14th, BEC on Aug 21st, and REG on Aug 31st. When I first scheduled the exam, I felt I would be ready, but now I have no confidence at all. I study on ave. of 8 hours everyday. Do you guys think it's possible? How many hours do you guys spend on each section? Should I reschedule REG to October? Really need some advice! Thank you so much!

If you started studying only now, it would be very very difficult. The material is just overwhelming. Take one exam this window and postpone the other two to the next window. Are you done with FAR already?

No, I scheduled FAR in Oct. I plan to spend all Sept. on FAR. Do you mind if I am asking how did you study FAR and how much time you spent on it? Your scores are impressive.

I agree with cpa0123. If you just started studying, then it would be good to postpone two to the next window. Considering the time you have, you may want to take BEC this window since it the easiest of four.

I studied FAR for 2.5 months (which is a lot). But the way I study is different. I am not working so I took it easy, by pushing it in bits and pieces. I wasn't studying the whole day, maybe 3-4 hrs initially. I studied from Becker and did 1 chapter per week. Having said that, I did every MCQ atleast twice, solved umpteen number of questions from all those free resources that I had (Wiley test CD, cpareviewforfree website). I made my own notes, I wrote down a lot of stuff, many important points, so that helped a lot in my final review.
Since I have taken all 4 exams now, I'll take the liberty of saying that FAR has been my favorite exam so far. Not because I scored the highest in that, but it is because of my interest in accounting. Calculations and numbers keep my mind awake. But I agree that the material is too overwhelming.
