When is enough enough? Find another path or keep going? - Page 3

    I am pretty devastated. I just got my most recent REG score…48 – ouch. Crash and burn. I previously scored a 48 on reg once when I had NTS issues and took it without studying. I spent about 2 months on this and it HAD to be done or I lose credit for BEC and AUD. Now there isn’t enough time before April 15th to pass Far and reg. Now I am totally defeated. I realize how much time and money I’ve lost during the last two years trying to pass and it kills me. I also still need to go back to school to meet the 150 credit rule. I have worked in public accounting the last three years and now am questioning if this is the right path…

    So now the question is between coughing up another couple thousand for updated materials and all the exams or choose another path….

    I know everyone will tell me not to quit…and I don’t want to, but I can’t help but wonder if it’s actually meant to be.

    Insight accepted.

    So the exam slapped you around a bit. You have been knocked down before and you picked yourself up then and you will do it now.

    Dig deep and ask yourself what have you changed since you passed half the exam? In addition to whatever that answer is then I would also suggest renewing WTB and do as many questions as you can handle.

    Hustlin,

    Yes, can you please elaborate on the strategy you are using to prepare for the examinations? I understand that you don't want to “quit” and that you have “failed” the exams, but in all honesty, if your plan of preparation is of low quality of course you will fail the examinations.

    – What's your strategy of memorizing and comprehending all of the area content material?

    – What's your strategy of practice quizzes, practice SIMS/WCs as well as have you taken any practice Replica CPA Exams before actually taking the actual exam? Are you scoring at least 85% – 90% on those practice examinations?

    Please disclose this information for more detailed and tailored discussion. It really comes down to your plan of action in relation to these areas, if it's very weak then how could you expect to pass the examination? My rule of thumb is that unless you are passing your practice quizzes and the practice replica CPA Exams at 85% – 90% then you have no business actually sitting for the exam until you get to this level.

    Think of the time and money invested as sunk costs. Irrelevant to your future decisions.

    See? You're already practicing for your BEC retake.

    REG - 94
    BEC - 92
    FAR - 92
    AUD - 99
