    I got 74 in regulation, this was my first exam in second attempt. I got 71 with beckers and tryied yeager. This is it for me, I can’t do this. I have two kids 3yrs and 5months old, and a full time job. I ignored them so much already, its just not worth all the effort.

    Good Luck everyone!!!!

    hmubeen…don't you DARE give up! Two exams are not enough to warrant tossing in the towel.

    Many people on this blog have young children too. Study time and hours can be worked around it accordingly. Listen to Jeff and heed his advice.

    I'm not going to say it's easy because it wasn't for me. But many people pass each exam after only a couple of tries.

    I know of two people locally who took their first CPA exam…failed it (miserably)….and then quit.

    and you know what (?)…that's EXACTLY what the test is designed to do……weed out the people who don't want it bad enough…..

    I hope to see a repost on here from you hmubeen!!

    cpawannabee: Thanks you much for making me feel better.

    I was studying for FAR after regulation exam and decided to continue. I can't giveup, how am I gonna tell my kids that their mother was a loser.

    I will try again and study harder next time. (eventhough I did try my best last time)

    Congratulations to you!!

    @hmubeen use Yaeger and Wiley software, I am sure you will pass Regulation. It has worked for me, it will work for you too!

    BEC 2/8/10 - 75 (studied hard & prayed less)
    REG 5/15/10 - 88 (studied less but prayed hard)
    AUDITING 8/9/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard)
    FAR 11/30/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard) Thanks GOD! I'm DONE

    hmubeen – You should not give up, and if it were to make you feel any better, received today morning AUD fail score of 68, and this was my 3rd try. I will try it again in Jan/Feb, for the 4th time, and will not let it discourage me. You were so close….it is doable.

    goodluck and stay positive.

    Thank you so much.

    Anushka730: I'm sorry to hear that but I'm sure you will pass it next time and then you will be done forever!!!

    Let me ask you somthing, how did you study for regulation the 2nd time? I'm planning to push it for last. Since I have a wedding in the summer and I won't have enough time after FAR. Let me know what do you think.

    Good Luck!!!

    Don't give up! I haven't been on this site since I passed, and peeked in today to see what was going on. You are so close, I know it's hard, but keep pushing! You WILL PASS!! I did it as a single mom with 2 kids. It is possible!

    hmubeen – When doing REG the 2nd time, I used Yaegar/Wiley book and software again as I thought, that I did not practice enough the first time. Phil Yaegar was really good at explaining the material so it was about practice and more practice. Along with the Wiley book ,I used the Wiley software as well for addnl MCQ, which really helped.

    I think your plan sounds good, since, you should give yourself enough time, till you are absolutely sure of the material.

    Hope that helps. Goodluck!

    hmubeen, I am a single mom with a 5 year old and a full time job.

    If it makes you feel better,

    I finally passed BEC in 11/10 with 79 after several attempts, and failed AUD 69 and REG 68

    in 11/10. I was very discouraged. It hurts, I will not lie.

    Long story short, this morning my daughter was cutting up her pancake

    into smaller sizes, and she got upset and told me she just could not do it.

    She threw the fork.

    I told her that she could not let the pancake defeat her.

    She finally did it all by herself.

    Think of this exam as a pancake. Cut it up in small pieces and defeat it!!

    You can do, we can both do!!!
