    Just got out of FAR, testlets were med/hard/hard at least it seemed that way who really knows? I thought the entire thing was incredibly hard. After hearing people say Becker is harder I’m not sure I agree they seemed about the same to me. I left 2 hours for SIMs so I went quickly and needed every minute. Feel OK, not great, about the MCQ but the SIMs were another story as usual. Nailed the research and felt pretty good about 2-3 more. The rest I just did my best.

    So now the wait begins, it’s been a long summer of studying 8-10 hours a day for 4 months I really hope the time was well spent. It is frustrating waiting on 3 exams and knowing you could be done or have 3 more to go. Hopefully they work on getting scores out faster in the future. I thought REG was slightly harder than FAR but they are definitely close.

    Good luck to everybody else waiting…any suggestions for getting my mind off this for awhile?

    B - 85 (5/31/11)
    A - 93 (7/1/11)
    R - 87 (7/29/11)
    F - 77 (8/31/11)

    My only suggestion is tequila shots, and that's only a temporary fix. I admire you doing 3 exams in a window. I might be forced to do that next window. I agree with REG being a little bit more difficult than FAR. Both are difficult but REG seems to get down to the nitty gritty. Good luck to you in September. You must have no idea what to do with your time now that you're not studying! If you're on the east coast, try to enjoy these last few days of summer, and again good luck!

    I'm in a similar boat. Took AUD and REG in July and FAR and BEC this month. I got done with BEC a few hours ago and like an idiot, I only gave myself 40 minutes for the 3 written communications. I hope I aced all the MCQs now since I took my sweet ole time on them. The last week of September will be either the best week of my life or the worst…at this point I just don't care. It's behind me and I'm only looking forward to spending time with my family and cleaning my study.

    And to keep my mind off of things, I've been catching up on a TON of dvr shows. I realized how much I missed laughing. I guess it wouldn't hurt if I stopped browsing all the CPA forums.

    The journey/summer of hell has ended on a positive note, i want to sincerely thank everybody that gave me advice mainly kb and yankee!! Feels great to pass all 4 exams this forum has been the perfect resource along the way. Good luck to everybody still working on these all you need is dedication and a good test taking strategy and you can pass them. I used becker for everything and think they did a great job despite many complaints ive seen about them. I also used jeffs ninja notes for REG and FAR so thanks Jeff!
