    New thread started for (hopefully) upcoming FAR and REG release. The old thread was acting up as well.

    Automatic grading doesn't take into account the questions that are throw out. This is how AICPA curves the tests. I dont care what they say, they want to limit the passing score. Can't have too many CPAs flooding the market. It sucks for borderline grades. I tell ya, they curve the test. I'm on to them…

    Aud 4/2/11 - 86
    Far 5/27/11 - 83
    Bec 7/1/11 - 82
    Reg 8/13/11 - 86! It's over!!!!

    Has anyone tried the loophole today? It gets stuck and it keeps saying “please wait……..processing”.

    @onto hahaha

    @peanut What if some of us pledge our first-borns to the AICPA? Although my first-born is a kitty cat, it's worth a shot, no?

    Goodbye Clifford, we gotta take one for the team.

    @cpa – which exam? My understanding is it only works once AICPA has released scores.

    As annoying as the process is, I tend to think NASBA let's us know as soon as they get the scores from AICPA – if nothing else, to stop everyone from asking! 🙂

    Denials,

    Your scores are so impressive. For BEC, what material did you use? Any tips for studying?

    I have tried the loophole, it says all sections of the exam are still processing.

    Forget about the loophole! Just be patient and wait for your grade. It's so much easier and less frustrating.

    I have tried the “loophole” and it doesn't say anything about processing. It just has the two test that I have taken grayed out.

    It seems to me like they tweet the same no news line Friday afternoon.

    @cpa4now – Thanks! I used the Becker self-study option with the flashcards. It probably helped me for BEC to be an econ undergrad and rather late to the accounting thing. My personal advice is, if you think there is something that is really hard for you to understand that will take a bunch of study time (which for me was some of the detailed variance calculations, etc.), it might be worth it to just accept you'll have a 1/4 chance on that question and play a bit of test roulette that you won't get a question on it (and even if you do one question won't usually make or break you).

    You can't take that approach for everything or even very much, but if there is one thing bugging you I think it's the way to go.

    As for my study practices, I watched all the lectures, did all of the multiple choice questions (including supplementary ones – I found them helpful), then did reviewed the flashcards several times through, then went through the notes I'd taken in the text and wrote my own notes for each session, then did about three 30-question multiple choice quizzes in the software for each section, then took the 2 final exams. My %s were never as high as 95 in practice tests. I took the test in 2010 before the writing portion so I know what I took is a bit different than now.

    One other tip is for the demand/supply type questions, draw out the curves!

    Good luck!
