I started in public accounting in August 2012 and we work typical long hours + Saturdays during busy season. My coworkers have advised me not to try to study during busy season, but...
- I know I can't sit for exams in March/June/Sept/Dec
- my bonus decreases by 70% if I pass after August 2013
- my Becker MCQ/etc expire in October 2013
- my first exam (Audit) expires in Feb 2014
- my summer is starting to book up with EBP audits (one takes up most of June), so my schedule will be pretty packed anytime I try to study
Should I just suck it up and study during busy season, and take the test(s) Saturday nights at 5pm?
(I have to retake FAR for sure, because I failed with 71 in December 2012. Feb 5th I get my REG retake score, so I might have to factor that into my schedule too if I failed again. BEC & AUD are done.)
Thanks in advance for any help/stories you can offer - good luck to everyone!
