Very nervous with most here! I retook FAR 7/23/18 after getting a 68 right after busy season, and honestly thought it was a lot harder than the first time. I had little time to study again due to work requirements and was also taking 9 credit hours while working full time… I took REG for the first time on 9/5/18, and also am nervous for that score… I know I didn't pass.

If I didn't pass either I have to pass both by 1/31/19, or I lose my AUD score, which really would be devastating. Not to mention annual reviews are in January for the entire firm, and it won't look good if I haven't passed either by then…
Good luck to everyone!!

I took FAR yesterday for the 4th time. They are definitely making FAR harder and harder each window.
My SIMs yesterday were exactly how some have been describing them this window. The last SIMs testlet was brutal. 3 long sims with a good amount to fill out for each and 6-8 supplemental documents to review for each SIM. I had an hour and about 5 minutes for the last testlet and it still didn't feel like enough, nor am I confident in my answers.

Took both Reg and FAR this window and need to have passed both, or else my AUD expires on 9/30. Prayers prayers prayers

@giveme75 Yeah, same experience with FAR – last three SIMS were insane. I'm really wondering how in the world they expect people to get through it. I feel like they expect us to do badly but it's just a matter of HOW BADLY we do.

I took REG on July, 6th and BEC on August, 25th. It has been two months and I'm still waiting for the results. I'm so nervous. I just keep checking the website again and again this morning.

I know our schools are closed today for Rosh Hashanah. Maybe we'll have to wait until tomorrow…

[giveme75]

@kat agree!!! like it's so unrealistic! In the real world, you would have multiple days to review documents like that!! I mean I get that they want us to be able to apply what we know in a real world setting but this might just be overkill. I just don't know what to think anymore. Really hoping I just gathered enough points to pass.

Your schools are closed for Rash Hashanah? Is this a religious school, or just a new thing? Just curious as I haven't heard that before.

[ReggaeReg]

I am just sitting here… Taking deep and thoughtful breaths…reminding myself if I failed that IT WILL BE OKAY and that this is an obstacle I can overcome. This exam only beats me if I let it. I need to keep my spirit strong and fighting. Deep breathes. We will all be ok. Hang in there friends! Wishing you all the best!

The Jewish new year started September 10, and ends September 12.

Next week is Yom Kippur which is September 18 and ends the 19th.

Given the release date overlapping on two of the most major Jewish holidays, I wouldn’t consider the holidays to be a factor as related to when scores will be released.

[TalkNerdyToMe]

@HDCPA All schools in our area are closed today. Must be a new thing.

My coworker just gave me a brand new task to do, with software I've never used before. Luckily it seems pretty mindless (she knows I'm waiting for my score), I just hope it's enough to keep me distracted and that I don't mess it up!

i have never wanted to know my score, but not know my score so badly haahha

I took FAR and AUD this window – if I pass both I am done, if not I lose REG and get to retake one or both of those as well. I am exhausted and ready for this to be over. This was my first real attempt at FAR, previous attempts were essentially hair mary’s and I scored in the 50’s. I studied my butt off for two months for FAR and I don’t think I could study any harder or be more disciplined. AUD has been my nemesis (68,74,72) and I am hoping that having the FAR knowledge helped push me over the edge this time.

I don’t even remember my FAR sims, but I remember being at the limit of my time and I am usually a very fast test taker. My AUD sims this time around felt weird and even more subjective than usual. In the past I have done very well on MCQ and struggled on the sims, and this time I remember my second testlet of MCQ having some really tough questions and not feeling that confident in a few. The sims weren’t as bad or as long as I thought, but they were still subjective and difficult and a few of them I felt didn’t have really clear directions.

My wife and I are expected twins in February, and I only have until then to wrap this exam up. I don’t even want to think about taking these exams with two babies at home. For my sake and my wife’s sake, I need to be done.

Prayers and thoughts for all of you waiting on scores. Grind it out and get it done even if you miss the mark this time.

I’m unable to log onto Nasba webpage. Presumably it’s due to all the other traffic.

No scores yet! Hoping for it soon though!
