I just took Audit, and there are so many thing I wish I would have done differently preparing for this exam.

First and foremost I wish I would not have scheduled my exam so close to a score release. I was so in my head waiting for FAR that I couldn’t focus on Audit. I was so sure I didn’t pass FAR and all I could think about was how this exam didn’t matter as I was going to have to retake FAR anyway.

About a week ago I felt like I had reached a point of no return, I felt like I was so far away from being prepared that there was no possible chance of me being ready and I kind of gave up. From that moment I couldn’t find any motivation to study as I felt like it was pointless because I was going to have to retake the exam regardless.

Before walking into the exam I was feeling like it was silly for me to even be taking it, and that it was going to be a wasted 4 hours as there was no chance for me to pass.

After leaving the test 2 hours early I know I didn’t pass, but I feel like I was really close. I wish I would have just really kicked myself in the butt last week, I know that if I had put in one more solid week of studying (maybe even just a few long days!) I could have passed that exam.

I am so disappointed with myself for giving up, so for anyone reading this, don’t tap out before taking the exam! Go full throttle until the very last day! I most likely just wasted 200 dollars and a lot of hassle having to completely restudy when I could have just dedicated a few more solid days.

You’re probably close, just keep pushing!!

Well, to be honest the main reason I've done well on the exams is I've had nothing else going on. I'm in my masters and took a bunch of the masters courses in ungergrad (I didn't think I was going to do my masters), so my classes have been easy non core classes.

I couldn't imagine trying to do this while working or if I had a family or any responsibilities beyond feeding myself and my dog.

Anytime I hear about people on here passing while working or that have kids I'm incredibly impressed, I don't think I could ever do it, if I wasn't single with nothing going on but Becker I don't think I'd even have a shot in the dark.

I just got really burned out for this exam, I only had 3 weeks between FAR and AUD and had spent the previous 5 weeks cramming for FAR nonstop.

@acctygal: You will pass it. Cheer up and congratulate on your high score.

Don't know why you complain about scheduling the exam too near the release date. I was actually have my exam on the released date and I was waiting for both of my scores. During the exam, there's a period that inside my head I was wondering about what scores will I get. I ended up leaving the exam early too because even if sitting in there for another hour, I could not take anymore.

Let get back here Mar 7 and start celebrate 😀

BEC 91 (01/06/13)
REG 91 (01/24/13)
FAR 86 (02/10/13)
AUD 93

Feel so close 😀
