After passed FAR, REG and BEC for the first attempt, I guess I have used all of my luck for CPA exam. I failed AUD three times with 68, 73, 72 in each testing window. All of the grade reports show that comparable/Stronger in MCQ and weaker in Sims. And yes, I got three extremely hard Sims. Nothing similar with the ones I practiced using Ninja& Gelim& Becker.

For the fourth time I decided to change to a new testing center. So last Friday(11/11) I took my AUD exam. The MCQs are fine. I feel they are easy-medium-hard. I flagged none for first one, 2-3 for the second one and probably 5-7 for the third one. The Sims, to my surprise, are very easy!! I believe I got the research question right. For the other six including the DRS, I probably get 1-2 wrong at most because they are really straightforward questions.

Could anyone guess my score? I ask my gut, and I feel good. But I have read a lot of posts in the forum that people believe they are failing but ended up passing, while people believe they have passed for sure but ended up failing miserable. I still didn’t get how the AUD part is grading. I have used full materials of Ninja, Becker, and Gleim test bank and spent nearly a year try to pass this exam (study average 5-6 hours per day). However, I have kept getting horrible SIMS and they are nothing like I have practiced.

Plus, this is my last chance for AUD before I lost my FAR. I am feeling really depressed these days and thinking about killing myself if still can’t pass. Since I worked as an intern(30 hours per week, low pay) as A/R in a small local firm (still no full-time offer after graduation in May) without any chance to be a full-time employee and could be fired at any time. I don’t think I could afford the high expense for the CPA exam and all the study materials. I really don’t think of any meaning to live. I even don’t have a boyfriend or family members around, I live all by myself. If I couldn’t pass this time, I probably find a job in the supermarket/ restaurant to support myself.

Thanks for reading my long post. I really appreciate guys. life can be so difficult and so brutal, I keep working hard but never get paid. I feel like my four year education in the business school and all the hours investing for the CPA exams are waste of time. Now I can’t even think of the score release day next Tuesday.

Sorry about any grammar mistakes I have made, English is not my first language.

Well first of all, you disclosed the exam materials which you agreed not to- contact Jeff to get that part erased if you cannot edit this post. It sounds like you had a med med hard testlet with easy sims. I think the CPA gods will be on your side this time.

@ActionCPA Thank you for your encouragement. How should I edit my post and what should I remove? Thanks again.

The specifics tested on your sim. Try editing first. If it doesn't work contact Jeff.

What has been said, has been said. Jeff will get it when he gets to it. I do my best to avoid exam disclosures but the chances of seeing it on your own exam is practically nil. That said, relax. I would start reaching out to other firms and letting them know that you've already passed 3 exams WHILE STILL IN SCHOOL and still completing an internship. In my book, that deserves an interview at least. I really don't know how to comfort you for AUD, bc when I took it, I was pretty positive I passed, and I still got the score I got, which was surprising. I can only say that you've already done all you could.

Start studying for the ethics exam and see if your internship counts towards your experience in your state. Begin the process towards becoming a CPA. Good luck.

@hasy thank you for your comfort. I will try harder to get an interview. But if I lose this internship job, I really have to get any kind of job or part-time job to support myself before I get any other full-time offers. I guess this is reality. I wish I could edit my post!! I didn't know that this discourse rule. I have sent Jeff an email but he didn't reply. Should I call him? I am so afraid now. Will I get into any trouble? 🙁

Don't worry. These exam disclosures happen around the forums all the time, it's like not he can go to EVERY post and edit them. But I think if anyone can spend extra effort going around the FORUMS to search for exam disclosures, they would have passed the CPA exam using that same effort already. Just let Jeff handle it.

@DiXing82 – I don't want to sound mean to you, but no wonder why you keep failing. You have a defeated mentality. You have to build some confidence in yourself and change your attitude. No employer or boyfriend is going to want to deal with someone who is suicidal … see what I'm saying?

As far as the exam, it sounds like you happened to be out of luck a couple of times. Not a big deal. It is bound to change. Things alway fall into place but it is not until you change your perception of your situation. Think about it, many people would love to have you degree and internship, for example. Best of luck!
