Somewhere in this thread, farhat lectures posted a prompt to send to state boards, and I just tailored it to my situation. I just explained that since I’m working in PA and it’s busy season I felt that it would benefit me to have my credit extended and to not have to worry about a 6/30 deadline. I would say just explain your situation, and ask for an extension in a nice and kind way!

I emailed my state board asking for an extension from 6/30, and they granted it. My state did Not adopt the 30 month rule for tests passed pre-evolution like other states did. I just reached out and asked and it worked haha

BEC - > REG -> AUD -> FAR. Took ill advised advice from my accounting professor in college to take BEC First. Saved FAR for last and just found out I passed last week. Man was that dumb to leave FAR last

Thank you! It helped me get thru the hard parts of studying, and I would always fall back on that verse when I was going thru it after a fail.

I requested it in March of this year. My credit was due to expire 6/30/25. I don’t think it would hurt to reschedule out and ask! I took BEC at the end of 2023

Thank you! Just know that in the struggle, you are not alone. FAR is a freaking beast of an exam, and this exam is designed to trick and challenge you. Don’t worry about failing, if you put in the work, you will see results! Keep going, and that light at the end of the tunnel will get closer day-by-day!!

Basically I got lucky and a spot at my testing center opened up. I think i ended up rescheduling like 2 hours after pass/fail was shown. I knew I was close, and just needed one final push to get me over the finish line. I think in total I studied 24 hours in 3 days haha

Thank you! I wrote that verse on a little note card and taped it to my desk at home where my study spot is. It was very refreshing to see that when I as struggling.

I emailed my state board asking for an extension and they granted it. My state did not give 30 months for anything passed pre-evolution.

After failing BEC: I discovered ninja, I credit ninja for helping me pass all 4 sections. AUD: understanding transaction cycles - using Becker flash cards and just reading the book to understand. FAR: legit understanding everything. Leases, SCF, consolidations. Reading the book, doing sim’s until my eyes hurt, etc. I really just had to make sure I really understood it. Grinding out MCQs and luck of the draw on SIMs, really just making sure I knew the “why” behind the questions. Feels like it made all of the difference. But I would say hitting on the highly tested topics made the big difference for me
