I took FAR and AUD and I failed both parts. I didn’t feel too confident about my far exam so I wasn’t too surprised that I didn’t pass I just wasn’t expecting it to be so low. This is my second shot FAR. my score increased just not enough to pass. Anyways I got my audit score today and I also failed that one. coming out of the exam I felt good, but now with a failing score I don’t really know what to do.

Hi there, first all, you should not give up at all! The primary thing is not to let your hopes go down because you have failed three times. You know you're capable of doing that and you will. You may just need to change your study strategy a little and you also need to figure out exactly where you're going wrong with. Once you have it figured out, then you will be able to score 75 and above. Also, the mistake i was making was i focused on difficult questions so much that i missed out on easy material and easy questions on the exam. So keep that in mind as well.

One thing you can't do is beat yourself up. These test are hard! It takes a lot of time and energy just to study for them. I would change the way you are studying and possibly change what you are using to study. Theres also TONS of youtube videos. I used a lot of youtube videos when I didn't understand something Becker was trying to teach me. I also recommend not moving forward until you pass FAR. Its the hardest and a lot of the info flows through to other sections. I feel like if you can get that one out of the way you'll be in good shape.

The posts above are spot on. I failed FAR, REG, and BEC on my first attempt. I was studying for my FAR retake until I received my REG score last week.☹️ Now, I plan to retake REG before the new changes. I changed my studying by doing a review at the end of each week of MCQs; I plan to do it each week until I finish the video lessons. Since the material is still fresh in my mind, I am flying threw the video lessons. I also plan to buy Ninja for the audio and extra problems. The CPA exam is made more difficult because most of us have other things going on in our lives. Good luck!

Im going through the same thing myself. I've failed audit twice (64 and 74), and have to retake it this upcoming testing window or risk losing my REG exam.
I'm hoping a different study course will help me understand the material better. Good luck! You are not alone

Thanks for the encouragement, I won't give up. I'm going to come up with another game plan because something is not working.
