It was heart-breaking to see the score. I guess i have to move on to some other review books. How is Yaeger for BEC and FAR??

Now i dont even feel like studying for AUD which i have at the end of Nov. All motivation down the drain…..I guess i have to face 2011 and study everything from square 1. All the best CPA wanna beeees!!!

I hear you completely! WI doesn't release scores until all sections are in so I don't know how much I missed it by, but the loophole seems to work and as of today – I'm going back in. I'm so depressed and sick of studying it isn't even funny. I just want to go home from work today and cry my eyes out!

[flcpa]

Dont you worry….u r going to cry out of happiness !! Wish u all the best Becks!

I doubt it….right now I'm SUPER frustrated! That loophole has held true for three other exams and I highly doubt it isn't holding true now.

I think I'm going to contact Becker and get my order in for the 2011 materials. This is going to be the worst Christmas ever! 🙁

[flcpa]

Chill out! this is not the end of the world. U already passed two and you will do great. Wish u a happy thanksgiving and a happy christmas! U will pass cpa eventually but dont spoil your holidays.

I already failed two but still going to have a blast and not give up CPA. 🙂 😉

I can feel your pain! This is my second try, imagine! Once, I took them ALL on the same window! I know! CRAZY!!! I failed them all! and I was beyond frustration… I let a year pass by, that's how bad it hit me! but now, I am studying smarter, I'm taking one at a time, I just started taking one this window, next is next window in 2011, but I just can tell you don't be discouraged, hold on, just remember, you decided to take the exam! That's a major step Believe me, not everybody has that strength, now, you just have to focus on your goal, having those three letters after your name…it is worth it! the pain and suffering…you have accomplished more than what you are giving yourself credit for…go for it! You can do it! Best of Luck to you and everyone….I am getting ready to prepare for REG…keep us posted!

I can completely understand your frustration. I just sat for my second BEC attempt. First one I got a 64 so only 11 more points and I pass. I felt completely overwhelmed again studying. There are so many formulas and concepts that you could really only learn by memorization. The range of topics is out of control and mostly these are from classes that were one semester in college.

I actually thought I passed on the first try and got a 64. I thought this time was really hard for some reason. I felt like I guessed more and some of the calculation problems I couldn't get an answer. I know I bombed this test so I can only imagine how bad my grade is going to be.

Just see what you need to do to pass this test and do it no matter what. I have a hard time saying no to family and friends which really cut into my study time. I also try to do yard work and house stuff on a regular basis as well but you know what? I think I may have to put all these on hold until I'm done. You really have to be selfish to get through this unless you have a photographic memory and understand concepts easily.

Also just keep coming back here and read other people's story and their words of encouragement. It always makes me feel better to hear from people that “truly” understand what you are going through.

I know we will all pass and you are not alone.

failed for the 4th time w/ a 71. obviously not happy about it but not super depressed, don't know if it's because i was expecting to fail or if i'm used to not passing…lol! one thing for sure is i am not going to worry and be depressed about these exams. i have been very depressed in the past over these and it hasn't done anything to help me, just makes me more discouraged.

used becker up to this point but gonna try yaeger this time, i've heard good things.

can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I feel all of your pain; I've taken BEC twice. The first time I used Gleim for the study prep and felt totally overwhelmed as I was taking the exam and when I left I couldn't even tell you what was on the first testlet! However, I bought Yeager and did exactly what jeff suggested (wrote crazy notes, rewrote them, and killed MCQ's). I have to say that when I took the exam the second time I felt much more prepared! Of course, I had several questions that I either couldn't get the answer or had no idea where to start, but most of the questions were cake! I guess we will see what I get but I know for a fact that it will be higher than what I got before (60)!

BEC - 60, 71, 79
AUD - 73, 66, 87!!!!! Yes! I am done!
REG - 74, 76
FAR - 75

Yaeger Review for all except my last AUD score (Roger)!

I just bombed for second time with a 71…crying with tears finally…I actually did much better on the areas that i was weak on according to the report that i scored 73 previously, but this time i bombed the 2 parts that I previously did pretty good on…it's a crazy morning for me, I just can't accept the reality…it's my first ever section too….taking FAR in 3 days….By seeing this score, I'm absolutely discouraged…and wanted to give up FAR as well…

I just don't know what to do now…

[Rehm-CPA1DAY]

Hey you guys, don't give up. I totally get that it is depressing to “not pass” an exam, but it will be so worth it in the end.

When I found out I failed FAR the second time it took me weeks to pick myself up. Then I failed it a third time and lost AUD. But I pushed on and took both exams in October, you guys can do!!!!

[nolifecpa]

it's pointless to worry, it'll only make you depressed and wanna give up. i'm going to have some drinks tonight, get over it and concentrate on AUD, which i take next week.

i'm in this for the long haul, obviously didn't pass on the first try like i/everyone planned

@Becks,

Just thought I'd share my thought process that has helped me with my negative thinking about having to study over the holidays. Don't think about how horrible it's going to be to have to study this Christmas, think about how great it's going to be to ONLY have to study THIS Christmas and kick butt!

BEC 10/11/2010 77
AUD 11/30/2010 81
REG 02/25/2011 78
FAR 11/28/2011 74,68, 83 and DONE!!! NTS LA #460

[flcpa]

Hey Nolifecpa….i see your score and just wondering did you go over the 18 month restriction or u keep taking exams every month? Ur motivation is superb and still fighting like a Soldier ! Wish you good luck!

[flcpa]

Kobe….i know how you feel when you get 71 and 73. Its is PAINFUL. My case i killed the exam…even AICPA was ashamed to let me take the exam. LOL. I know its pretty tough taking the next exam when you are depressed. But you dont know…go for it since FAR is a beast and if you make it this year you will be over the top of the moon! Dont give up Soldier!
