I am waiting for FAR and BEC this window and am freaking out! This was my forst time for FAR but my 7th time at trying to pass BEC. The past 3 times I have taken that part I got a 74. I am so hoping I finally passed it because it is really frustrating having to keep coming back to it to study.

Keep up the good work @CPAchic3. It is people like you that keep first timers like me motivated. Your drive and motivation to keep pursuing this goal is fuel to my studying.

FAR: 84
AUD: 95
REG: 78
BEC: 88
ETHICS: 100

Thanks mnCPAwannabe! I'm glad I can help to motivate… There have been so many people on this forum and others that have done the same for me so I'm glad I can do that as well. How did you get your scores in your signiture line like that????

@CPAchic3 How did you feel coming out of each exam? Was the test the same, harder etc.? I'm courious since I got a 74 last window (first time to take it). I felt like the exam was a lot harder this window. My first two WCs were good; however, my 3rd WC was poorly written. I had to throw something together real quick since I was running out of time. I am dreadful that I might see another 74. Good luck to you! I hope you nailed it this time! 74's are the worst. 🙁

It's almost 3 full months since i took BEC (April 1). wahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm predicting they release FAR either later today or tomorrow and will get the ball rolling from there. They didn't have to extend the test window at all this quarter, and I bet they'll try to get these out fast.

@ErinBrookeTX The funny thing is I honestly don't know how I felt when I came out of BEC. I definately knew a lot of the multiple choice questions, but obviously there were some in there that I had no clue about and some that I had to take an educated guess on. I was really upset with my WC because all 3 were from material from FAR and this was before I studied for FAR so I was a little unsure about my answers. In the past I felt like I nailed the WC parts so that's why I am a little more nervous this time around. I also had a MCQ that I knew I was calculating correctly and the answer was not a choice… I knew 100% I was doing it right! WTF I too almost ran out of time for the WC and just put it together as best I could. For FAR… my test was really hard! My sims were pretty difficult and I don't think I got the research question right!

I have to wonder. BEC is always well-known for being the “easiest” of the four parts, but the passing rate is about the same as the other three. I don't get it. Does anyone know why? Is that exam more competitively graded or something?

[I3lackcell]

Not sure. My guess CPAMan would be that a lot of people taking the CPA may have already had a lot of exposure to economics so it just seems like easier material and is more of a review of old info then learning new things such as some things in the other sections. Also in general managerial accounting was easy as hell. For me, I passed BEC on 3 days studying the first time. I took more time the second time because I did not want to be over confident but still much less time then I spent on any other test and I did much better.

BEC - 75(expired), 79
REG - 63, 54, 61, 69 (Gave up for a year. Finally decided to really study) 73, 78
FAR - 70, 71, 73, 83
AUD - 61, 72, 72, 76

@philly I hope you're right … I know I can't complain compared to people who have been waiting since April 1 (I feel your pain, though … I took AUD in early January and waited FOREVER), but FAR is my last section and I want to know!!!

BEC Nov 2010 92
AUD 1/11/11 97
REG 2/28/11 96
FAR 5/31/11 91

@CPAchic3 I think I did pretty well on the MCQs since my exam got harder this time around. I am only worried about the 3rd testlet and the WC #3. Last window, I felt like the exam never got super hard but I felt confident in most of my answers.

[phillyrocks87]

@Tessaloba – impressive scores – i'm sure you'll do fine on FAR.

I'm one of those candidates who, when if i do pass, only scores in the 70's for each section LOL

B: 11/09 55; 01/10 68; 8/10 54; 4/11 68; 8/11 PASSED

We're still positive scores don't come out until next week, correct?

REG 85 | BEC 84 | FAR 81 | AUD 71, 4/25

AK - 450$$$$

@AAA I don't think we are positive about anything but are hopeful they might come out next week compared to when scores were released during the last testing window. But who know, could be earlier, could be later! They all have to be out though by June 30th so…

[Anonymous]

@ErinBrookeTX Well it definately seems like you have a pretty good shot of passing this time. I think for me it's just that I have taken BEC so many times I'm just not even trying to figure out how I think or analyze my test. I'm just hoping and praying!

[Anonymous]

@CPAchic3 – I hope so…I think I have a good chance as long as I got half of the 3rd testlet right and WC #3 isn't graded. I really think WC #3 is going to kill my score. I hope you pass! I will be anxious to see if you break the 74 curse!
