Took three(3) sections this Q4 2017: BEC (Dec 2nd), REG (Dec 4th) & FAR (Dec 7th). As a Canadian (International Candidate), if I pass one(1) section, I break-even & gain a little. If I pass two(2), I gain bigger. If I pass all three(3) sections, I won the ‘jackpot'!
If I fail all three(3) Sections, more work for me. Likely, I will be taking one(1) section per two-three months, until the 18 months threshold lapse.
So hopefully, I won't reached the 18 months threshold. For now, I am marking all the topics that showed up in 2017 Q3/Q4, I saw a pattern in my Q3/Q4 exams. The questions I got during Q4 exams are the ones I was weak at. But, I know my three(3) section scores will be higher than my Q1/Q3 results since I worked harder for three(3) exams, and put tons of hours studying. Not sure if they are good enough for three(3) passes. That's up for the CPA God.
Hoping for the best, and bracing for the worst. I am praying.
