@suzzette1 – waiting on FAR in CA as well…nothing yet

[Numberguy]

I'm looking at it like this…If I find out that I failed BEC…the disappointment is going with in to the AUD exam and I don't need that monkey on my back.

If I found out that I passed BEC…the excitment would be in my head going into the AUD exam.

Plus, If I failed BEC that means my FAR expires…It is a “Doube Whammy”.

BEC 81 expired, 74, Oct 80
FAR 79
REG 70, 70, 82
AUD 74, 65, Nov

Then DO NOT look before the AUD exam Numberguy! =) Focus Focus Focus

AUD - 78
BEC - 74 (retake Jan. 2011)

I've got to hand it to all of you who manage to study all those hours required to get 90s, ESPECIALLY if you're doing it with a family. I'm a dude in my mid-20's with no real responsibilities and I find it insanely hard to study instead of going out for a beer or playing softball. My sob story is that I've already let a section of BEC lapse and if I don't pass BEC and FAR this cycle, my REG section will also lapse. In which case, I don't know if I'll ever get back to studying and getting it all done, especially now that I'm working in private industry. So for those debating between having a life or passing the exam, PASS THE EXAM!

I don't know what I would do if I lost a section… If I don't pass BEC I can still take it twice and then on May 31, 2011 I will start loosing sections… (FAR would be first to go)

Hell NO I will not let this to happen 😉

So I was distracted from refreshing all day because I was busy re-taking REG. The first testlet was easy and then it just got freakin IMPOSSIBLE. I don't even know what I did on the sims. So depressed….and to top it all off, we STILL don't have our BEC scores!

FAR 91
AUD 86
BEC 84
REG 74, 75!

Hopefully, the CPA gods are looking over me <taps chests, kisses index/middle fingers, points to sky>. We'll know step one tomorrow it looks like………

Jeff said that AICPA will release BEC today for sure 🙂

[hibachi235]

As a side note unrelated to BEC. For the adaptive sections (FAR/AUD/REG) does the difficultly of the simulations depend on how you did on the MC testlets? I'm going to assume yes, but I wasn't sure……

So NASBA states are probably looking at receiving AUD scores on Monday night?

FAR - 83 8/03/10
AUD - 83 10/07/10
BEC - 76 11/19/10
REG - 1/24/11

Kirsten if AUD is released last then probably yes

[Anonymous]

sorry… don't look at my answer Kirsten… I mixed some info…

Fighting Illini,

i retook REG on saturday and it was not the best. there were some in the second testlet that i knew for absolute sure but i don't know if that means that testlet was easier than the first or i just happened to know that particular information. simulations sucked really really bad and they were awfully long. i left feeling quite discouraged. 🙁

AUD - 79
FAR - 79
REG - 69, 69, retake Feb 26
BEC - 60, retake Jan. 22

if it helps I took REG in the 3rd Q and I was sure I failed it… but I got the best score on REG so far… so just don't read into it too much!!! you never know

[GrizzlyBear]

@I.can.haz,

Looks like I'm in the same boat as you – waiting on BEC score and re-taking REG. I don't know why this section is so tough for me. I studied easily over 200 hours using Becker. At least I can relax for a few weeks before potentially re-studying. Are you taking it easy now or are you still reviewing REG in case you didn't pass?

Getting a passing BEC score will definitely cheer me up!

FAR 91
AUD 86
BEC 84
REG 74, 75!
