Yall… I keep remembering questions from my last exam and I can’t help but look them up when I do. I wake up in the middle of the night remembering questions. Or they’ll just come up when I’m washing dishes or folding clothes. I can’t stop thinking about this stupid test. It’s probably because it’s the last one and I’m so nervous I failed it. I have taken five other exams and never had this happen. Anyone else have trouble letting go? Hurry up March 21st!!

if it makes you feel any better you are not alone- I am not remembering specific questions but have woken up several times in the past couple of days “haunted” by content…. I am going insane waiting for this last release. If I failed fine- but this wait is killing me- I can't imagine how much worse it is going to be in Q2– so I really pray I passed!!!

and they ask me why I drink...

FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
BEC- 8/11
AUD- 9/2

[Tardis_Wobble]

Yes. It's like waking up and remembering a cringey moment or something embarrassing you did.

I keep randomly hitting myself on the side of the head and going “why, why, WHY!?! You FOOL!”

FAR - 76 - [4]
BEC - 71, 73, September 9 2016
AUD - July 28 2016
REG - October 2016

Black coffee, stress, and cottage cheese pancakes!

[Peasqueezy]

Exactly! And then I agonize over “wait, did I change that answer to the wrong one? What did I put for this?” I know I can't change anything now so I wish I could just forget it for the next week!

You are not alone,last December I did some stupid answer and when I came out of exam center I understood my stupidity .Those 2 MCQ questions and one SIM haunted me even today when I read framework I feel bad.

Oh my gosh…this is THE worst. Since I took REG last Friday, I have had nightmares about the exam. And then as I'm working or watching tv, one of the questions will pop into my head. The absolute worst is when I look up the info online and realize I picked the wrong answer…to the EASIEST questions. I wish I could just stop thinking about it but for some reason this score release is the hardest for me. I'm at the point where I'm scared to death to check my score next week….what power do these tests have over us???

[Cruzer]

@Peasqueezy You are not alone and no one else is. I know I feel absolutely terrible not knowing the outcome. One day I think I pass the other fail. It’s the worst emotional roller coaster ever. Would I do back in time and answer a question or two different or think of AL to attempt to use for SIMS, ABSOLUTELY but what is done is done. I wish we didn’t still have a week to wait and the weekdays are the worst but there is NCAA basketball tourney and St. Patrick’s Day this weekend to maybe help? I think about the exam more than any others and never studied so hard for it but I just feel my SIMS destroyed me and my tests never got harder but I was looking at FAR Medium vs Difficult previous AICPA questions released and did not think some of the Difficult questions should actually be considered Difficult. Without being specific, I do feel everyones tests had a fair share of the same content on it (i.e. Govt, NFT, IFRS), so should that make it difficult level questions? Just keep praying for a pass as I think being on my last exam it’s even tougher not knowing which way the score release will go.

[Peasqueezy]

I think it's a good sign you saw so many of the difficult topics like gov/nonprofit on your FAR exam. I think a lot of those are considered “hard” questions. I took reg and I would feel better if I felt like the questions got more difficult. Unfortunately for me the third section was the easiest, I only flagged two questions. I bet I only flagged 8-10 total. So bizarre. I was so worried I was missing something or not catching their tricks. And then the Sims were impossible and that felt more like it. Here's to hoping we all pass and this nightmare can be over!

[Starved_Wolf]

I wish i could remember the questions i had on my last exam.. i can't remember anything!!

[krstnam]

YES! They did this to me with my last exam and then FAR that I just took.

It was a question I knew about asset valuation. I double checked, picked my answer and moved on. Then the 2nd testlet comes up. I'm pretty sure it was the exact same question worded the same. Even the multiple choice options were the same.

So I start second guessing myself. Maybe I was wrong. Did I miss something in my studies? The examiners are surely messing with me. Maybe I did so bad that they are giving me the same question twice to get it right at least once. Or maybe I got so many wrong in the first testlet that they said, we'll give her a duplicate so she can get a few more points and feel better about herself because this score is bout to be embarrassingly low. In the end I said to myself: Jokes on you MF, you just gave me extra points 🙂

By the way, I've checked and rechecked if I knew the answer probably about 5 times since I took the exam, and each time, it confirms that I was correct the first time. Haunted for sure…

@krstnam

I think they give you the same question twice to try to discern whether or not you are simply guessing

I read somewhere that they factor “guessing” into their devious equations for weighing exam questions. im just about confident it was on the AICPA site.

[NeedsA75]

I too am having difficulty recollecting specific MCQ that I got on my AUD exam. On the other hand, I have been going over my sims answers in my head over and over..

[Anonymous]

Exactly what I am going through with REG right now. What makes it even worse is when you study a ridiculous amount of hours and make STUPID MISTAKES on the exam. I honestly hope by the grace of god that I pass on the 21st.

[Skynet]

The CPA exam was like “An Overly Attached Girlfriend” that just wouldn't stop stalking me.
