Has anyone experienced that you thought you were going to pass but got extremely low score? I cannot explain this; something must be gone wrong terribly.

Hi Madhav,
We all felt the same way.
Just keep working hard with determination. You will succeed.
By the way where you are from? and which sec you took recently?

@Madhav- hang in there… I walked out of FAR in Dec not only thinking I passed but thinking “I am finally done”- only to get a score in the 60's that was not much higher than the first time I passed it- soul crushing is all I can say. Take a day to get yourself together- get angry, get drunk :-), and then brush it off and move on. At least with me once I started studying again I slowly began to realize that I had made some really really stupid mistakes that I hadn't realized I had made- all I can do is learn from it and try extra hard for this go round. Just remember you are not alone. This exam sucks. You will pass. Hang in there!

and they ask me why I drink...

FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
BEC- 8/11
AUD- 9/2

I've taken 6 tests, 2 pass and 4 fails.

Every single pass I thought I failed and every fail I felt pretty good coming out of it.

I've learned its better to take the test and then put it out of your mind. trying to analyze how it went will just drive you crazy. theres no good way to predict how you did.

REG: 74/76
FAR: 75
AUD: Early April 2016
REG: Late April/Early May 2016.

Thanks everyone. @pracap i am from Nepal and i recently failed AUD.

[mtaylo24]

Yup, the first time I took REG and the two times I took FAR. Walked out thinking the exams weren't really that bad, only to score in the 50s, such a slap in the face. The two that I passed, I thought I BOMBED. Hang in there!

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)
REG - 55 (2/16) 69 (5/16) Retake(8/16)
BEC - 71(5/16) Retake (9/16)
FAR - (8/16)

I took audit and left so confident but ended up failing. Since then I am a pessimist.

@madhav like others have said hang in there. I am still embarrassed about the 2nd time I took REG I was so confident I had passed I began telling people I passed. I would have bet the house on it. Still one of my worst score releases. I was not nervous at all, I was excited to see my score and then BAM–74. I was crushed. I have never trusted a score release since…its kind of like trust issues after you've been cheated on lol!

FAR - 78
REG - 72,74,71...please just go away REG nobody likes you!
BEC - 82
AUD - Aug 16

Yep. Walked out of my third FAR retake (after a 65 the first time, a 73 the second time) and thought yes! I finally passed! When I got my score I refreshed the page about a hundred times… I got a 66.

It is absolutely heartbreaking. When I passed BEC, I walked out feeling good about it. Well, after busy season, it's back to FAR…

Keep your head up. Remember why you're doing this. It will pay off! Best of luck.

The exams where I walk out thinking, “That wasn't too bad! I did pretty well, I think” and a walk out of the testing center with my head high, patting myself on the back for all the hours and hours of study, happily making dinner plans…those are the tests I failed.

When I walk out of a test feeling like I fought a bear and there's no way I passed, I walk out with my head down and think, “I need a drink. I hate this crap.”, those are the tests I passed.
