Well, fellow Kentuckianas, we sit with our chin-and-hand together and pat each other’s back while we watch other candidates get their scores today.

Congrats Sewat and Zsalem for slaying FAR. I know if you could, you would like to spare me the extra 2 or 3 points you got so I would also pass.

@Tee and Baxter, thank you for your warm hugs. I really appreciate it.

@Adam, 60, 73 or 74 are just the same, we all still have to take the test again.

I realize, I REALLY have to focus on increasing my score.

Let's think 85 is the passing score so let's aim for 95 now!

I hear ya Amor….time to just get angry at this thing. The only concern I have is that the 60 kind of blindsided me. A 60 really means you don't know it..I felt like I knew it pretty well. But it seems like most people have one test that is kind of baffling to them as far as the score goes (high or low).

What material are you using for FAR Amor? I have my Becker book and flashcards but my material is expired. I used WTB for MC this last go around but I think I am going to pull the trigger on Yaeger full review and go through it this time.

So these are scores gotten off the KY board website? I've been refreshing all day and it's saying, still only Feb 25 scores. What am I missing or messing up?

@MS, are you clicking on the above site?

@Adam, I was using:

-2012 Becker’s self-review

-2012 Becker Flashcards

-10-Point NINJA Combo

-Wiley Book 2013

-2013 Becker’s Final Review PDF

-Wiley Textbook – Intermediate Accounting

I was too slow learning the areas I was really weak on. Though I got the basic theories of FAR, yet I kind of slacked off without any certain goals a day. I ONLY worked on a total of 200 progress tests and 30 MCQs from WTB (Shame on me!) I did not maximize my time and the available materials I have on my hands enough to pass.

Today, I am changing my poor study habits and I make sure I will tackle all these (Becker Progress Tests 10,517 & WTB 1,458) MCQs until the last day of my final review.

Yesterday, I paid $206 so I can avail the 2014 Becker self-study updated software. The FASB codification lecture and outline per chapter seems truly helpful.

I know I didn't get my AL correct during the actual test because I did not really know how to use it properly.

Don't you think you should request for renewal for Becker's promise too and perhaps get Jeff's 10-point combo for FAR. The NINJA combo is very helpful too.

@Amor Yep. Is it indicating to you that the last update was 2/25?

[Anonymous]

@MS, no, not at all. It just automatically fills in the boxes with the information I need.

It was showing blank when I was clicking it many times over until 9am yesterday.

First Name

Middle Init.

Last Name

Kentucky Id

Section

Score

[mswhitehead]

@Amor Now more confused. It only asks me for section ID and last name. Definitely time warp. 🙂 I'll figure it out hopefully or just keep hitting F5.

[Anonymous]

It was Adam who told me how to get our score from that link. You have to have your 4-digit Kentucky ID and of course your last name.

Is this your first time?

KY State Board of Accountancy provided or assigned us with (permanent) KY ID# the first time you submitted your application and exam fee.

[mswhitehead]

@Amor OK think I got you on that post… That's your result. Long day!

[Anonymous]

How was it? Is it your first score ever?

[mswhitehead]

@Amor No I've passed 3 other parts. 2nd and hopefully last try on REG. Just not getting my score this time for some reason.

[Anonymous]

mswhitehead when did you test? I got a FAR exam super late last time I took it because I guess my test was received late? Basically NASBA told me I was like one of 17 in the nation who didnt have their score yet haha (murphys law). So if you took it on the last day of the window then that is possible.

Also, do you normally check your score through the site that Amor referenced? If you haven't checked through there then I would def get your state ID number so you can look and see if it is posted there.

@ Amor – I've had the NINJA notes, audio, and flashcards since my first FAR test. I decided to go the Yaeger route for my rematch. I just bought the full FAR course minus the WTB since I already have it for $360. I feel like I need their “teaching” style of review over Beckers review style. Since I have 3 scores all hovering around 60 on this test I have realized that I must not get financial accounting as much as I think I do. Hopefully with the Yaeger teaching style lectures I can start from the ground up and learn these concepts. So hopefully with the Becker book, Becker/NINJA flashcards, WTB, Yaeger lectures/handouts, and NINJA notes/audio I can get over the hump!

@Adam have you applied for a new NTS already?

I mailed my new application for FAR last Monday 3/10. I haven't heard from them at all yet. Though yesterday, I called them to check if they got my app in the mail. They said they did receive it 3/11 and they haven't gotten to it yet.

Last week (prior to score release), I sent my NTS for REG in the mail (3/6), I immediately got my payment notification notice in my email the next day 3/7.

I don't need my REG that fast.

I want my FAR NTS today please KY State Board Office!

P.S.

As of 3/13 1:00pm EST, the postman just stopped by to drop the mail for the day. And I still don't get my performance report. Lovely! How long oh how long!!!

What a weekend for all KY candidates….

KY for

Killing You softly

Or

KY for Yours+Mine…. LOL

Driving me crazy here.

@sewatk i grew up in paducah, ky, i live in lexington now

personally i do think the test is curved. The testing centers for KY is much lower than in other states for CPA exam takers. With as low of a population we have there is no way the exact same % as the national average continuously fails
