Often there is a dilemma about making a decision regarding registration for part 1 or part 2 examination (to a lesser degree) before a particular registration deadline or deciding the right time for registration,considering preparation level,availability of preparation time etc for making a successful exam attempt.The returning candidates, who either did not sat for a particular exam after registration or people who could not clear in most cases have this dilemma.Since there are tradeoffs here, fine balancing is required to choose among the available option and scenarios such as escalating exam fee,opportunity cost in terms of missing chance of clearing the exams early and possibility of losing the exam registration fee in case of an unsuccessful attempt.Candidates - Past or present can share their experience or provide feedback to overcome this dilemma.And share their thought process about the factors which were considered to decide about registering for a particular exam or the issues which stopped them for registration.
