Took audit the other day, I felt terrible (and confused!). I felt the testlets went:

Medium to Medium/hard to Medium/hard. SIMS were really tough. I felt decent on a few, others like 60% confident. Not sure if I got the research sim right. Halfway through the test I felt like giving up!! This test is crazy! A lot of questions I didn’t even recognize from the study material.

But I could narrow the hard ones down to 2 answers. There were some that were no brainers. I guess they were littered in with the tough questions. I walked out of the testing center so upset and angry, which is the opposite of what I felt for FAR (passed with a 76)

Going into the exam my trending for ninja was 82 and avg was around 68 ish. Final practice exam scored about an 85.

Did I do well enough to pass??

@Emily406MT if you prepared the same way that you did for FAR I don't think you should be too worried.

Take a day or so to give yourself a break and dive into REG. Best to keep that study momentum going.

FAR - 91
REG - 88
AUD - 98
BEC - 88

I'm almost wishing I took FAR before AUD. I know the SIMs are mostly FAR and the rest transaction cycles. I want a first pass!!!

BEC - 75 (3x)
AUD - 78 (3x)
REG - 67, 66, Aug 1
FAR - 54, Sept 8

@okcpa2015- Thank you! I plan to do just what you said 🙂 take a break for a few days and jump back into it, don't want to lose the study momentum. Gotta keep moving forward!

@Claudia408- Good luck!! You will do great!

Yes yes yes. and you should be all fine.

My experience with CPA is that the worse you felt, the higher the score.

Not sure why, but a lot of my friends also prove it.

FAR (4/14/14) - 97
REG (11/17/14) - 94
BEC (11/30/14) - 92
AUD (2/28/15) - 99
TEARS!

I actually cried real tears coming out of FAR…

I felt defeated coming out of AUD…

I was angry coming out of BEC…

I was so scared coming out of REG…

And in reality, all of them I passed the first time. But every single time I felt as if I had just been abused for ~4 hours and left me certain I had failed.

FAR: 82 (Becker) 07/09/2014
AUD: 80 (Becker) 10/01/2014
BEC: 76 (Becker) 11/26/2014
REG: 82 (Becker) 02/16/2015
