I studied my ass off for audit and by the 4th question I wanted to walk out of the testing center

I had seen the questions before but for some reason, the way the answers was formulated, it COMPLETELY threw me off. I’m not the type to just memorize the answers, I try to understand the concepts as much as I can.

I found the exam to be brutal so prepare yourself.

BEC- 80
REG- 68, 71, July
AUD- 61 , 84
FAR- -- 75 🙂

Honestly I think that bodes well for you. I left AUD in tears (literally) feeling like every second I studied was a waste of my time because I was not at all prepared for what hit me. I've even tried many times to look up one of the SIMS that I do remember and I swear it is not covered anywhere. But apparently somehow I ended up in the 42-ish percent that were to pass! I think you will too.

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

@goodluck2everyone, that's exactly how I felt! I studied my butt off and they threw so many random questions, international, all sorts of crap! My friend scored a 99 and he said he got the most basic exam, nothing out of left field or international curve balls. It felt SO easy while I was studying for it. Damn AUD. I'll slay her end of February…

@goodluck2everyone

I found it weird in comparison to what I studied.

FAR was weirder, though.

BEC seemed to be okay, but somehow I failed it once 😀

@ Peanut

I feel your pain. For some reason, it is so hard to pass AUD since you might be curved with someone who has much easier question set then yours. Also, I feel AUD frequently cure people down than up; that makes people pay the exam fee over and over again. I am not sure if it is ethical or not to keep charging people $$…

@CPA Genie

Do you think that's what they're doing – comparing apples with oranges?

Your score is curved against the scores of people with same test sets. Otherwise it makes no sense…

@ 75

I am not sure how they do it exactly… but it is still not fair if you did well (scored > 75)because of easier testlet and then still be curved down… Just my opinion.

[Anonymous]

Tell me about it…someone's got to fail.

Each individual question is weighted differently per the AICPA's own website:

https://www.aicpa.org/BecomeACPA/CPAExam/PsychometricsandScoring/ScoringInformation/DownloadableDocuments/How_the_CPA_Exam_is_Scored.pdf

So no matter what set of questions you get, everyone is scored the same on all questions. Which is why the pass rate fluctuates a little bit, but is always still close to 40-45%.

REG: 90, 8/27/11
AUD: 91, 11/30/11
BEC: 92, 10/6/12
FAR: 91,11/3/12 DONE!!! PTL!!!
