Failed f** FAR (57)and BEC (71) again. I did lots of thinking n solving questions and i still cant f pass them? Is GOD against me? I pray every single day too!

[rahee]

I completely relate to this sentiment. I failed my last exam (FAR) with a 72 and ended up losing BEC. I retook FAR in Q4 and marginally failed again, and lost my AUD credit. This is just so frustrating.

Man im still pissed! Thankfully not toward GOD This test is ridiculous, just ridiculous! Some dont wanna talk to me because i didnt pass? Ridiculous
Giving money away to NASBA for no good apparent reasons? Ridiculous
My life? Ridiculous

You will never pass if you continue to blame others and act like a victim.

I guarantee I was born with less IQ points than yourself. Do the work and buckle down. Anyone can pass these exams if they put in the time.

Had a dream last night. I don't remember the dream but i woke up having hard time breathing and realizing that theres more important things than the exam. Life is vital and shouldn't be taken for granted. I will give 200 percent on this test but if i still fail i will accept my fate and only blame myself for the failures Thanks for all the support!

And your scores aren't even that TERRIBLE, sure it's not a pass and it's disappointing to spend time and money without getting the results you want. HOWEVER, there are people who have literally gotten 19 on these exams and kept moving forward. So you keep moving forward, like many said before me – IT SUCKS – YES, but accept responsibility, assess where you need to improve and if it's something you really want, keep at it. From the scores now, you definitely have potential to pass this exams, and most importantly, try to reinforce positive mindsets.

My true scores below, really struggled with the whole process, its already going at 4 years having passed only REG I hate to quit so i will keep trying but i will accept my fate if i never make it..

[CPA_Focused]

I still see PROGRESS, that is what's most important! KEEP SWIMMING. You literally have a whole team on here rallying behind you! YOU CAN DO IT! WE CAN DO IT!

[CPAHOPE]

Thank you CPA FOCUSED! Hope we can all pass n move on with our lives!! Back to studying with coffee alone lol

You passed REG with a 79 – you clearly know how to study and pass. You'll get there.

What is your study method? Course? etc.

[CPAHOPE]

My study method is pretty similar to the NINJA framework except i dont rewrite my notes. I write my notes and review them before i go to bed. I also run everyday except on sundays for 20 minutes thinking n saying out aloud about what i studied that day to not forget the materials. I only work part time n im still failing the exams lol
I use wiley for my studies. I cant spend any more money on different review courses since im running out of my savings. If i have money i will definitely try ninja

“If you failed the CPA Exam, it’s YOUR fault.”

This is a horrible attitude to have.

Look, I can fully respect that the CPA exam requires hard work and people can do it if they put in enough effort. But after many months of studying and busting their tail off, no one needs you to come waltzing in when they're already down and point a finger in their face and practically mock them for their own failure. That is not motivating and that is not helpful. It's just nasty.

How about give pointers on how to improve their studying? Or ask them if they have any specific questions on material they don't get? Or encourage them to take breaks or work on their schedule to work better?

There's a million ways to go about this, no need to be a prick about it.

[CPAHOPE]

Thanks DOCJ for your kind encouragement. They're right though, i shouldn't blame anybody including GOD than myself. Im still going to pursue but mentality im pretty fatigued.

[Accounting_is_Taxing]

Who's mocking OP? OP literally blasphemed God. That's pretty nasty, no?

[aaronmo]

Folks – it's an accounting forum, can you please keep your sky pixies out of it?

I did come up with a great televangelist pitch where I used accounting to back up religious rhetoric:

God wants you in the black! Like any business though, you have to invest in your relationship with God if you want God to pay out to you! Your donation is like a ROTH IRA with God…put in a little now, and you'll reap the bounty upon your heavenly retirement. Etc.

When I go play poker at the casino there are people that can’t wait to tell you about their bad beats. It’s like they are excited about how they managed to lose money. Then there are others that just sit there quietly and grind and make money without making it a big deal. You have to decide which type of player in life you’d like to be. Winning is the ultimate goal and doing whatever it takes to do so should be the priority. There is no question that you can pass these exams if you put in the effort. These tests are not hard if you know the material. Like Jordan, hate to lose more than you love to win. Focus and put in the effort and the results will come.
