I’m curious how some people manage their retakes while continuing onto their next exam after you receive a failing grade.

I try to stick to one exam and not really move on to the next one so I don’t lose the information and have to do a larger re-study. The issue arises when I receive a failing grade, I can’t retake it immediately, and I’m both A) wasting time if I don’t study and B) have already paid to take another test.

How you do guys manage this? For instance, I just re-took Audit and am waiting on my score. But I also signed up for Financial to retake it by February. This time I chose to not start studying FAR until I see my AUD score, and if the AUD is another failing grade start re-studying that. Thing is, I would need to sign back up for AUD and pay the fee meanwhile I’ve already paid for FAR. Bouncing around subjects every month or two is killing me and obviously I’m not getting there. So how do you guys manage these situations?

REG - 68 | 71 | 88 | 86
FAR - 72 | 74 | 79
AUD - 66 | 70 | 77
BEC - 62 | 74 | 80

Guess that means I'm a soon-to-be CPA!

I take a test take a couple days off to regroup then dive head first into my next exam. If I waited I would be wasting valuable studying time especially with AICPA's release schedule! I failed AUD and decided to just move on and come back to that one – which I'm studying now while waiting for REG score release. I say just start studying for FAR I think keeping with the same exam section would make me extremely bored and start slacking off because I “think” I know it all…. Just my thoughts.
