    Jeff,

    Is there a reason why Q1 has consistently lower pass rates? I'm nervous because I am taking FAR this January.

    It is usually attributed to people working during “busy season”.

    Jeff,

    What about Q4?! If following the trend from Q4'08, passing rates could drop almost 10%??!! I will have taken 3 tests in Q4 when it's all said and done!

    DONE FOREVER

    2009 is mimicking 2008 as far as % rise from Q1 to Q3, so if it continues to mimic 2008, then Q4 2009 pass rates will drop 9%-ish.

    This isn't important info…just interesting…has no impact on anyone's studying or chances of passing whatsoever.

    Oh, I see… more so coincidental than anything? The criteria to pass doesn't change, just the performance of candidates during certain quarters? I.e, Q1 is typically lower due to busy season for most. I wonder the reasons for lower scores in Q4 then!

    Another busy season for tax people (10/15)…Thanksgiving…probably.

    Maybe burned out as well…
