    I just had a dream that I got 99 on BEC but had another nightmare that I got 74.

    My first CPA exam and I studied ZERO (LESS THAN A DAY). Keep my finger crossed. I thought I almost killed it.

    AUD 80 4/11/2016
    FAR 78 5/16/2016

    Definitely let us know how you did. Was your NTS expiring? or did you just want to see how hard it was?

    I am literally freaking out…everyone at work keeps bringing it up even though I say that I don't want to think/talk about. Last one… I hope you get a passing score.

    I couldn't sleep last night. Tonight I'm taking Zquill. This wait is a killer!

    I'm with you. The wait is killer. Is the countdown clock of doom up yet?

    I certainly hope you are kidding. First exam without studying and anxious to see if you passed? Very unlikely. Only exam I've seen people pass without studying is Audit. That said, I wish everyone good luck on their score releases.

    It can happen or almost happen…I took BEC in May 2014 without studying (long story – new job, crazy travel schedule). I didn't even remember I had signed up for the exam until 2 days before. I made a 74. I will say that it's not a good idea to take one without studying, but I found it valuable to go through a real, live exam. Once I started studying last summer, I definitely remembered things that helped me from that first time.

    Props to anyone who can pass these beasts with only studying for a day or two. While I would be very jealous of someone who possesses that skill, it would be pretty awesome to see it happen.

    I am freaking out in general as this could be my last exam! So much riding on it just in general. This has been a 3 year process for me with my family constantly rooting for me so would love to tell them I finished! Good luck to everyone!

    AUD - 69, 77
    REG - 74, 81
    FAR - 75!
    BEC - 71, 82

    IL candidate!

    Finally done (5/24/16)!! Yahooooooo!

    I had a dream that I got a 7 on FAR! Not a 70 but a lousy 7.

    Trying to study for REG but I'm pretty sure I'll need to retake FAR.

    @dankpsu

    It may be possible if he remembers a lot of the material from college.

    The curve for BEC is forgiving so he can have a few weak spots. I have read one guy who says he studied the morning of and he passed because he remembered a lot from his university classes. Another guy crammed all the material in three days. I believe it.

    Not sure how OP will perform but it does seem sorta silly to be anxious when you didn't put in that much effort to begin with.

    @all

    Most of the subjects on BEC were covered during my MBA study and I just studied IT and refreshed my memories on other areas. And I already did my CIA and CFA so it's less difficult. If the strategy works, I will probably study for 3-4 days and take auditing and regulation. English is not my first language so I hope my WCs were not so bad. Fingers Crossed!!!!

    I hope I can pass. Will update you guys.

    I wouldn't let anxiety affect you over this. If for whatever reason you couldn't study it is what it is.

    @OP

    Why are you not pursuing a career with your CFA? Seems like you'd be set for any career in finance after that. What are your career goals?

    @all,

    To update you all, I got 93 on BEC with less than 1 day's preparation.

    I am alomst certain I was correct on 90% of MCs (I flagged about only 5 questions). As English is not my first language and I did not prepare for WCs at all, I am very content with the score.

    More work to put into other sections!
    Good Luck to All!
