Thank you. Yeah, I do not want to waste a test window. That time-clock does not forgive once you pass the first one. And I was lucky enough to get BEC first thing out of the way. Would hate to loose it and then have to take it with the new exam coming up.

BEC - PASSED
AUD - 8/29/16
FAR - TBS
REG - TBS

@aa – I agree with everything dt said. I did this with both Reg and Audit. Squeezing Reg in at the end of last window and AUD in before the close of this window. I essentially only had 20 days to study REG and 15 days to study AUD but figured I would rather take a shot at them then waste a window- seriously worse case scenario was / is you chalk it up to a practice. I actually passed REG- not feeling too hopeful with AUD… however I will say with both exams taking it gave me a really good indication of what/ how I should be studying for them.

For both I completely skipped the lectures only watching topics that I was extremely confused on or needed clarification and just hit MCQ's over and over and over again… Both REG and AUD are so conceptual that a lot of it is just figuring out how they ask the question then applying it.

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

@aatoural hopefully. I've past FAR and REG with the help of MCQs. scored weak on SIMs on both and I passed so I am hoping this is the case for AUD

@Rosy – if you passed how is it that you know you scored weak on them? I thought you only get a report if you don't pass. Or is it just your intuition?

when you receive your score you clock on “view report” and it breaks down the score for you by three levels Weak, Comparable, Strong. The SIMs are graded together as one of those three. I was strong on a couple topics of multiple choice and comparable on the rest. I scored weak on SIMs. Are you able to see that report? Or does every state have a different way of showing your score?

Florida only gives you a report if you fail. Then gives you a report on each general topics on MCQ of strong, comparable, weaker and then SIMS for the same.

Sorry guys I've had issues logging into this site all morning!

Unfortunately I will need to retake AUD :(. Worst score yet (64). I did some major sole searching last night. Talked to the wall, my wife, myself..questioning why I put myself through this! I tried to be as even keel as possible going into this release but in the back of my mind I thought I had done enough to pass..so to say I was shocked would be an understatement. This study group has been great, I appreciate you guys helping me along. @papo congrats on being done! and @aatoural awesome work as well! I will continue to study for AUD. At this point I believe the MCQs are what got me (haven't gotten my report card yet) so I will pound through as many MCQ's as possible!

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