Has anybody ever paid the fee and challenged them to do a review?

    I really feel like my score don’t make sense… although it is not near the passing 75..

    i dont ‘ understand .. i scored weaker in the simulations?? Seriously? I got both the research questions word for word i’m sure i knew it… now how did i score weaker?? doesn’t make sense.. confused…

    A score review is never an option…it just isn't.

    Study harder…study different…get mad…git R done.

    Without going into too much detail, I would say that the simulations can be very tricky in their wording and what they are asking for.

    I basically had two simulations that I had almost completed, but when I was going to answer the final part, something was wrong with the answer choices. I KNEW that none of them were right. After wracking my brain for a few minutes, I realized that the simulation was asking for something completely different than what I had been answering. So, for example, instead of answering “what would be the effect if this hadn't happened?” I was answering the simulation as if it were asking “what would be the effect if this had happened?” This caused me to change all of my answers, answers that I was “100% sure” I had right before I caught my error.

    One simulation may ask you to post all adjustments (even negative ones) as positive numbers, whereas another simulation may ask you to post them as either positive or negative.

    One simulation may ask you to put in a $0 as an answer, whereas another simulation may ask you simply to leave it blank.

    These are computer-graded answers, so it's pretty black-and-white when it comes to the right answer. Your professor might have given you credit for putting an adjustment as a negative amount, but the computer won't.

    It sounds stupid and obvious, but be sure to read the simulation and understand exactly what it is asking for and how it wants the answer presented.

    REG - 93 (7/30/13)
    BEC - 90 (8/19/13)
    AUD - 98 (8/31/13)
    FAR - 84 (10/19/13)

    @Jeff You sure got that right.. I'm ANGRY… Confused.. how Did I not pass????? I got the research word for word, and other simulations, I was so sure I got it correct…

    I'm mad… I will wake up 6am everyday, and be on the grind… This is personal now…

    @W_HAMILTON Thanks for your advice.. I will certainly keep in my mind that I will pay attention to even each and every single period.. and see if it is even slightly not aligned right on the screen..

    Seeing my score really pissed me off… when I was so sure I was going to get 90s.. this time around… Ahhhhhh

    If you are in CA, I believe you are not entitled for a review according the CPA bulletin pdf that was just issued.

    REG = 58 (02-20-13), 75 (05-01-13)
    AUD = 67 (05-29-13), 79 (08-29-13)
    BEC = 83 (07-31-13)
    FAR = 72 (10-29-13), 69 (02-27-14), 73 (04-16-14), 81(08-13-14)

    Study Materials = Becker 2013 + Wiley Online Test Bank
    (75%) On my Way to a CPA (minus the experience requirement)!

    @kudawudashuda. Seriously?? but i probably won't even pay for it.. When I called the board, they told me it was $200… that's more than the exam itself…

    could you link me? thanks,
