Magster – If you passed REG, u can pass any of them. Try using a review course, any one, and then supplementing with the Wiley Online Test Bank, which will give you tons of more practice. Hammer home all the practice problems. Try to understand why the correct is is correct, and why the incorrect answers are incorrect.
@magster – I have been taking this exam on and off for ten years. I took my first exam in 2001, paper-based. I spent 000's on study materials and exam fees. You have passedREG (my nemesis)! You can PASS the other three in two windows. After a few years hiatus from studying, I forced myself to get back on the horse… and amazingly passed three exams in November. Maybe you need to revisit your method of studying? Also, see if you should switch up study resources? I noticed while I was studying that I was starting to “memorize” answers instead of understanding the subject matter. Don't give up. Think of the money you wasted and time you wasted if you don't push through with it! WHEN you pass, it will all be worth it!
AUD - 94 (11/23/10); FAR - 83 (11/18/10); BEC - 76 (11/11/10); REG - 83 (04/28/11) NY NTS 447
After all these years, I can finally say I did it!!!
Tell your husband we said to man up and support you on this. Your journey is as much for him and your family's benefit as it is for you. You're sacrificing a lot to get this done and he has to do his part or it won't happen and that will be in large part his fault. Without my wife's support over the past year and a half with going back to school to get qualified to sit and then getting this far with the exams I can tell you that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere and I mean ANYWHERE without her support. When we started this journey our son was 6 months old and he'll be 2 years old next week. My wife has been absolutely amazing and has made this thing possible. You will do this thing but you will need your “man's” support.
magster, I have been at this for 2 years. I am only 1/2 way there. Don't give up. My husband hates to see me discouraged too, especially after all the effort and money I have put in.
I do think this exam is not for everyone but you have passedREG, which is a tough one. Hang in there a little while longer. You can do it.
I switched to Yaeger for BEC and FAR. Their teaching style was for me. They made it make sense. Maybe it could work for you too.
Texas posted BEC but not FAR….what is up with that?!?! They probably did me a favor. Was hopeful for BEC and got a 68. Not hopeful for FAR. At least I didn't get sucker punched twice this morning. Still confused about why TX only posted one score?!?!?!?!
@Magster – don't give up – I've been doing this since 2007 and tried Bisk, Becker, Wiley, Gleim and CPA excel and this last time changed my study method up. Just got my AUD score (4th try) — got an 87. It took me at least 3 tries on each exam before passing. I passed FAR in Nov. Just waiting on BEC – if I didn't pass that I'll have to re-take REG. But, I've invested too much time and money to not finish this up.. You can do it.
Magster I used cpaexcel for Reg Bec and Far and switched to Roger for Aud. If I had to do it all again is use just Roger. He does a fantastic job keeping things interesting.
