I'm really really relieved to see everybody's comments on this forum. I started this journey 5 years ago when I graduated college and didn't take it seriously… After passing BEC but failing REG and then working in public accounting as a young twenty something I wanted a life. I pushed the exam to the back burner and saw all my friends study and pass each test on their first try… so I figured once I took it a little more seriously I'd be fine. Well, fast forward 5 years and now I've decided to take it seriously. I studied super hard for REG, but was unprepared for the simulations as I assumed (incorrectly) that they'd be the same format as they were the last time I had taken it (2009). Boy was I surprised. My score reflected that surprise. It's really helpful to see that there are plenty of other people who've struggled with this test and persevered and eventually passed. It makes me that much more determined to make it happen!
