    For people who are taking it for the 2nd or 3rd time, how do you feel when you went back to review BEC after studying other section? Was it hard to remember what you studied before? Did you have to start from the beginning like reading the book again? I assume all exercise must be repeated.

    I am taking today for a third time =( I got a 74 the end of last window. I went back through the whole book like I never took the exam before. I felt good until a week ago when all the sudden I felt like I didn't remember anything. I can do most the equations, but even now, my test in is less than 5 hours and I am still studying trying to cram as much info into my brain as possible. I temporarily switched to NINJA from Becker and that is where my confidence fell apart. I switched back to Becker because I feel that it is better for me to have all the resources rather than just MCQ.

    I pray I will not be taking this a 4th time … I have hit a ceiling on being able to learn this material. It is all meshing together and I am just a mess about it.

    Thanks, Jessica. I am trying not to be too depressed. I haven't even taken the test yet and I am just sitting here crying! I don't know how to prepare any better than what I have this time and last time…

    I got done about 2 hours ago.

    All the testlets had easy and hard elements … I feel like I knew the answers to many more than last time. Last time I felt like I was unsure about many of the calculations. I can't tell whether the testlets got harder (I am hoping this is because I knew a lot of the stuff that came up), but they may have all been medium… have no clue. In total, I guessed on/ had a hard time with 12 questions, approximately.

    There was a lot of all the major topics that are covered in Becker. It was a thorough mix of all the topics.

    I had one WC that was really unexpected. I totally BS'd my way through it. I think that as far as the computer grading them, I think I should get most the credit.

    Now to endure this horribly long wait! I am starting on FAR soon, scheduled that for May 19.

    This is my 3rd attempt at FAR and I have taken a long time 8 weeks and got a 61; 12 days and gotten a 70… I think I can hit everything and gain mastery. I have a horrible short-term memory, time isn't my friend!

    Best of luck! FAR is a beast…I'm still super grateful and a bit shocked I was able to pass first try. You'll be totally stoked when you beat it.

    @MaLo Tu, Wow I am so impressed!!! How do you manage to keep up with motivation?? It seems very tough for me to repeat over and over again without losing any confidence, I would have given up long time ago, it's a lot of sacrifice. How long have you been studying?

    Gege- I have been studying since last January. I passed REG on my first try in April 2015, I passed AUD on my second try in Novemeber. I just keep pushing on. I don't think about how miserable I am; however, that is partially what happened earlier when I broke down crying! Lol. I am typically not a cryer. I keep pushing because I know I need to finish this exam before I start working in September and 100% need to finish by November when I will lose REG credit… I will legit die!

    oh, and I see a glimmer of hope because my scores are increasing. If I don't pass BEC this time it will be a huge, discouraging blow …

    Hi all, Is the internal audit function heavily tested or even tested on the exam?

    My Nick name is sunshine, but the fact is I have not been in touch with it since I started this CPA exam! IT HURTS

    AUD - ✔ Passed Becker self study!
    BEC - ✔ Passed Becker self study!
    FAR - ✔ Passed Becker self study!
    REG - TBD
