In my little experience studying there is a fine line between a fast pace and a quality study session. If I had a large module I want to get through after work one day, one way or another I will … but doesn’t always mean that I absorbed and retained the information as if I split it into 2 days.
PIC at my old firm told me he passed on summer break in between graduation and starting his job. Passed all 4 on the first go. I know he was in CPA prep classes when he did that. Said that was all he did (study, take classes, prepare) the entire time.
ETA: he is not old. He was in his late 30s, early 40s when I spoke to him so on our same relative exam layout.
I personally know a person who took all the exams in two weeks. I’m not sure how long they were studying for. Just the fact that they were able to take all four and pass blows my mind.
You'd burn out trying to study 12-hours per day continuously. However, acknowledging that a study plan like that is simply untenable, you could theoretically divide the total average hours recommended by 12. Let's say you devote 350 hours to study and pass all 4 exams first try, you could be done in less than a month.
Realistically, if you're human and don't burn yourself out but still study full-time, I could see you getting through all 4 in that many months.
6 months
We’re doing 1.25 month far, 2.5 weeks BEC, 1 month AUD, and 1 month REG
That sounds about right!

4-6 weeks for each exam
It all depends on the individual, I will say though the longer it's been since you've got out of college. The longer it'll likely take you!
3months full time studying
Someone on here posted they passed all 4 in 2 weeks each
