Is studying for 2 sections at the same time detrimental?
I'm almost done studying for AUD and would like to get it taken care of
ASAP. However, since I can't take the exam till 4/5, I figured I'd get a head
start on studying for BEC so I could take AUD on 4/5 and BEC on 4/9
Hopefully then, that will leave everything clear so I can focus on REG from
4/10 to 5/23 for me to take the exam on 5/24
Is this a bad plan? I studied FAR from 1/4 to 2/11 and passed so I'm hoping
this works out but I don't know if studying for 2 sections at the same time
will just make everything problematic.

careermindedmom- are u a working accountant? I'm asking because studying for so few days & passing is commendable so i thought maybe the material wasn't new/tough for you.

FAR was tough, but I used Becker's course and Final Review. I feel like
that prepared me well & they structured the program so that I was done
with the lectures by the end of January so I reviewed for a little over a
week before taking the exam.
I'm not a working accountant right now. I currently work from home on a
full-time basis & am as close as I'm going to get to accounting (at least
with this current company), but I don't deal with debits/credits or any
accounting software. After I pass the exam & we move this summer, I
plan to start applying at public accounting firms in the new area.
However, I did recently graduate in December with my MAcc from an
AACSB school so the material in general is still somewhat fresh. FAR was
probably my hardest because its been about 5 years since I did
undergrad and my MAcc focused more on Auditing and Controllership
than the stuff in FAR. FAR you learn mostly from Intermediate Accounting
in undergrad.
