I have now failed both FAR (63) and AUD (61) and have been studying 6 months now and nothing to show for it. I work so hard and still nothing. Studying for my FAR retake and I cannot wait to destroy it.

Good luck im still waiting for my first score.

3 out of 4 passed and sitting for FAR on May 31. Will lose credit for Audit if I don't pass FAR by Aug 4. I love leases and bonds.

@Rigouventura You can do it, delete from your mind the fail scores and start with a fresh mind. You can add more supplements to your study as well… wish you good luck!

@CPAhereIam I really like that way of thinking. The failed exam mean nothing now so there is no reason let them weigh on my mind. Thanks so much!

@Rigo You are actually closer than you think, you need only 15 points average.. that means you only need to focus in weak points or maybe to supplement with different and fresh material. Don't see failure as your enemy is your best friend because now you know what you will do better… YOU can do this champion!!!

i had similar experience for REG, which was my very last exam in CPA journey. I studied for 4 months and ended up getting 60. I felt so dumb after seeing that score. But I realized that 4 months was too long to study and sustain all key concepts in my head.

I would recommend you to nail either FAR, or AUD first, then move on to AUD or FAR. Say, Conquer FAR on beginning of testing window (4/1/2014), and take the remaining exam, AUD at the end of testing window (5/30/2014). That way you are fully concentrating on one exam, and move onto next one. if you fail one exam, then you can retake it in 2 months basically. (4/1 -> 7/1, OR 5/30 -> 7/1)

Move on from the frustrating scores, use it as your foundation, and nail the exams next time.

Currently:
CPA - Class of 2013
ALMI (Associate, Life Management Institute)
CISA - Passed in 2011, Certified in 2014

In Progress:
ASA (Associate of Society of Actuaries) - EXAM P (O), EXAM FM (O), EXAM MFE (X), EXAM MLC (X), EXAM C (X)
