I'm doing Becker review through my masters program, they put the timing requirements on us. We do audit at the end of Aug, FAR beginning of Oct, REG beginning of Nov, and BEC at the end of Nov lol. It's definitely a cram session.
That is insane. Hopefully it works out for you.
It's strange that they started with Audit. Most review courses suggest starting with FAR. It's also completely bogus that they put FAR & REG back-to-back. You will be extremely tired of tidying after that stretch.
Is your grade tied to how well you do on the CPA exams, or is there another grading mechanism for the class?

I think their reasoning was audit is easier, so it gives us a test to get used to the study schedule, and the exam format, as well as a confidence boost if you pass audit. For sure though, it's going to be a rough two months.
The grade is partially tied to how well you do on the CPA exams, the rest is based on completion of lectures, homework, and practice exams from the review.

Power to you if you can complete that schedule. I will be envious.

I'm going: AUD--BEC--REG--FAR
But I was most worried about not getting all 4 done in 18 month window. It takes me longer to master the material to a level where I feel that I can pass the test. I only test if I can feel that I can pass. That and I work in public accounting, so a good chunk of the year it is difficult to study with work requirement. If I lose credit for any of them, I would want for it to be AUD, which is why I took it first.
I scored an 87 on that exam and it was by far the easiest concepts to grasp...then again, I work in Audit for a public accounting firm so I feel like my experience really helps out with that.
