If you passed and absolutely knew it when you walked out, what was the deciding factor? I haven’t confirmed that feeling yet. for Reg I thought I scored really well and only ended up with an 80. For Aud I was unsure and scored an 81. For my last BEC, I feel so so nervous because I feel so confident, even put the book away. I am afraid that I am over confident. How did you feel when you knew you passd, everything clicking etc? Looking forward to my last part. So far Fare is going well. Lot’s of material,but no nutty formulas and nonsense like BEC, just real accounting.

Reg 11/15/2011 - 80
Aud 02/28/2012 - 81
Bec 05/31/2012 - 78
Far 08/31/2012 - 83 Do you believe in Miracles, YES !!!

I walked out of BEC positive I passed. I went in well prepared and each of the MCQ testlets got harder however even by the third one I felt like I knew most of the answers. I felt the most prepared for BEC, so much so that the night before I stopped studying around 8 o'clock and then just relaxed, had a good drink, and let my mind rest for the next day.

I think if you can tell the MCQ testlets are getting harder yet you still feel confident in your answers, it is safe to say you are going to pass. That's at least how I felt.

Thanks Chrisbrown, oh mine did get harder for sure no question. Hope your right, congratulations on passing BEC with a nice score, it's tough. Dont worry about REG, it's doable with a big effort. I passed first time, but for sure its a toughfy, they all are in some way.

Reg 11/15/2011 - 80

I feel good about REG. I got a lot of stuff that I had studied and understood well and hardly got anything that I failed to put in the time to fully understand. My testlets definitely got harder as well.

Here's to hoping I pass on Friday…

Pass or fail, as soon as I check my score, it's straight to the bar.

You should know the amount of questions you guessed and maybe cut that in half to come up with your estimated “wrong” amount. From there I would take a look at SIMs and see how I think I did.

Generally when I leave, if I felt like I got 50% right and 50% wrong, I've passed.

I absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, knew I passed Audit my first time after walking out. In fact, i'm usually very hush hush when somebody asks me how I did for fear of jinxing myself, but with Audit I would tell anybody that would listen that I passed.

I got a 67.

FAR 80
REG 76
AUD 85
BEC 85
Ethics 98
DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ppierce

That is horrible! *lol* I know it's not funny, but I can't stop laughing. I keep telling everyone who asks that “I think I passed AUD, but I don't want to say ‘I passed' because I'll end up with a 67.”

In February I took AUD, the SIMs were so hard and brutal I knew I had failed. I left so upset. I got a 72. Retook AUD in April, I felt like I rocked the exam, was so confident, I put all my books away in storage, and told strangers I was about to become a CPA. Scored a 72, exact same score. I scored better on my score report and everything, and some how walked away with the same score. When I send people my score report, they say it looks like I got “punked.” REG I felt like I did well on, I thought I would have done better than an 80, but trust me, I'll settle for anything over a 75!

AUD 81 (X4) Previous scores 59, 72, 72
REG 80 (X3) Previous scores 59, 60
FAR 75 (X2) Previous score 67
BEC 79 (X2) Previous score 58

Peanut, my co-worker sat for AUD in January and was convinced she got every problem right and that she rocked the SIMS. She walked away with a 73. I felt so bad for her; it was her last exam. I never hug co-workers and I gave her a huge hug.

Then she took it again in April and got a 90. She said she walked out and felt the same, but was scared to say anything. I just think it's such a weird test – it's the 1 of the 4 that gives you false hope.

Anyway….thinking of you all during score release week!

REG - 80 (Becker only)
BEC - 76 (Becker only)
AUD - 71, 76 (Becker only)
FAR - 65, 74, 81! (Becker, Wiley Test Bank, Ninja notes & Audio)

@ppierce @Peanut. I was feeling so good about my AUD test until reading your posts. Now I am not so sure. I got a 73 and AUD before and felt like I did so much better this time. The questions got much harder but I was still confident in most of my answers. Now i'm scared.

Aud - 83
Far - 84
Bec - 83
Reg - 79

FAR: I felt like I was just guessing answers. Told everyone I hated accounting and that I would be lucky if I got a 40, but I still don't know how ended up with 97.

AUD: I felt it was easy and told everyone I felt good about it, but that I did not want to say I passed. Got a 95.

BEC: I felt it was easy, but was really sick and I'm pretty sure I did not put enough for the memos. I have been telling eveyone I failed for sure, and I probably will. ;

I think saying “I passed” out loud means you will fail…lol..just keep it to yourself..

I did a really bad job predicting all of my scores. FAR was my first test and I was sure I failed and ended up with an 80. I left REG so confident and sure that I had scored in the 90s, I only scored 2 points higher than FAR. My third test was AUD and I left with absolutely no clue how I did, and I scored my highest. BEC was my last test and I left the testing center more upset than I had with FAR. I felt 95% sure I failed, but I passed with an 81. So, really, these tests are impossible to predict. It's not worth worrying until you actually check your score, because you never know which way it's going to go.

FAR - 80
REG - 82
AUD - 92
BEC - 81
Ethics - 100
