I'm graduating in April. Finals are the week 18-22 with
all the hoopla the 21 and 22. After that I will obviously
not have school to take my time. I will also not be
working, not even part time. I do have a wife and an 18
month old. Am I crazy to think I can take and pass all
four parts in the April-May window?
I've been thinking I can study (I have becker) for at
least one part during the semester (last ones pretty
light). And take it Apr 1. But I'm having trouble
deciding how I should stack my study time after that to
be able to pass the other parts. So far I'm thinking the
only way I could do it is study for 2 parts during the
semester and take them both in the beginning of
april(Like FAR and BEC?) then take AUD and of April, with
like 4 weeks prep(during finals and end of semester),
then REG end of May with 4.5 weeks prep(and nothing else
on my plate).
The other thing I've been thinking is to take FAR or REG
early April, then AUD and BEC the rest of April-May, then
Study for the other long one in june to take in July. We
have another baby on the way in June, so I was hoping to
have it all done before then, thats why the rush to get
done in May.
What do you think? Is it possible to do it all in one
window?

Crazy, considering the facts you've presented? Probably. With school winding down and an 18-month old I'd say
that's an uphill battle, even without a job. It would be more reasonable to spread it out over two testing periods.
I'm not saying you can't do it, but it's going to be challenging and you'll probably be on the fringe of passing
considering you won't be able to devote all that much time to each exam section.

I agree with the comment above. Seems crazy to me that anyone, even with no distractions, could complete all four parts in 2 months.

I'd say that it would depend on what your grades have been like in college, and how adequately you feel like your college has prepared you for the material. If you've been acing everything and remember everything pretty well, then you can use the review courses just to brush up on everything. However, if there were some areas that troubled you, you might want to consider scaling back some, and really trying to make sure that you understand the material.
