Score release is too far away, I figured I’d get the panic attack party started once again. If I didn’t royally mess up, this should be my last score release, and I owe a lot of that to A71. Good luck everybody

Ready, set, vent!

I'm so excited I can't think straight!!! 86 on FAR – my very first section to take! Definitely gives me momentum going into BEC in a month! I'm questioning the scoring process now more than ever…definitely did not feel an 86 walking out of the test!

And anyone else who didn't pass this round-

Keep your chins up! This is a marathon, not a sprint. Just keep your focus and you can get it next time!! It's an amazing feat to pass everything the first time, but I honestly think it's more amazing for the people who push through and finish this thing despite falling down a few times. You can do it!!!!

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but the testing window would be October 1st – December 10th (extra 10 days right now for the exam changes). So if you took BEC in October, you won’t be able to take it again until January since you can only take BEC once during the testing window.

@Forem004, Good job on banging out BEC!

@Allie530 – I appreciate it. Congrats on passing the beast!

@mckan514w I was disappointed I thought for sure I had it but I can't be too down since I did have a 21 point increase. I didn't even realize that I have to wait until Jan to retake, so I am going to take AUD in December and then retake AUD beginning of Jan if I need to and then study again for BEC for 3 weeks and take it at the end of Jan.

76 on BEC! Thank you exam gods!!! One more to go!

@meg I just now realized that, thank you for pointing it out. I am now going to study for AUD and take it in DEC so if I fail I can retake both in Jan.

@DISLCPA – That was what I did in August and ended up passing AUD which gave me a huge confidence boost… plus a break from BEC might not be a bad thing… I am studying right now for my FAR retake and am not finding it as bad since I took a break from it… my brain feels more ready to comprehend it for some reason…

@mckan514w that is what I am hoping, I just don't want to use my time inefficiently. My goal is to get half finished before tax season and I can still accomplish that. Just paid for my audit just need to wait for my NTS. Good luck to you in Dec, really hope you pass. I appreciate the advise and making me feel good about my decision. What do you suggest for study items for Audit? I am really feeling that the books are a waste of money. I like the audio better.

Super late to the party (CA, non NASBA state)….but I got a freaking 92 on my REG retake. No idea how…I thought I failed for sure. So stoked! Congrats to everyone who passed! If you didn't pass, just remember that its only a matter of time before you do. 2 down 2 to go..

80 in AUD and I'm done, done, done, done!!!!

[mckan514w]

@dislcpa not really sure I'm the best person to be dispensing AUD exam advice- due to a lot of factors I ended up having an expiring NTS so I only had 15 days to study for AUD- (13 if you take out the day I got SUPREMELY DRUNK after getting my BEC fail and the next day I had to spend on the couch recouping from the bender ;-)-yeah I'm a functioning adult )…. I am still a little shocked that I ended up passing it… Since I didn't have time for anything else ALL i did was ninja MCQ's and then if I had any questions on the material I would look it up in the Authoritative Literature found on AICPA site- best AUD advice I can give is to really understand the question / what they are asking and WHY the answer that is correct it “more correct” than the other choices… (I literally would write out on a piece of paper this question is asking XYZ… and ABC is MORE correct because…

GOOD LUCK!! to me AUD is not hard just a serious GRIND

@mckan514w do you think I would be ok with the audio and MC? I just don't want to pay for things I won't get anything out of. for my retake I didn't even look at the BEC book, I just listened to the audio and used wiley mc. money is getting tight so need to spend it wisely. I bought a six pack of Braxton blowngasket and 2 bottles of pinot grigio last night so I feel ya

yeah I do DISLCPA– I think more than any other portion (at least for me) the more MCQ's you can do the better chance you have. I actually found my book to be rather worthless… The thing with AUD is that three out of the four answers in theory could be right- you need to know why one is better than the other two and if you don't have practice on how the questions are worded.

I have finally completed my journey. This time around I came so close to losing my reg credit. I was up all night puking. I just received a 86 in far and am officially done. It's been a really long 18 months and all I have to say is to try as hard as you can, don't give up, know that there will be good and bad days and days where you just are plain depressed. I was contemplating giving up if I didn't receive a passing grade this time around because I was that scared to lose a credit. In the end it all worked out and everyone is capable of passing these exams you just have to devote long days and hours to get it done. Stick with it because to accomplish something this big is an amazing feeling.
