Whew! I went out for green beer last night and missed a maelstrom of talky action.

1. T-Rex, you crack me up. I hope my 12 year old is as much of a prodigy as you.

2. I'm a TSBPA candidate too, Texas folks, and I too have noticed that ONLY the score release night does it shut down from 12-4. I know, because I'm up checking. 😉 So I like the theory that they're batch posting scores surreptitiously. But then again, I like a good conspiracy.

3. This forum IS for whining. By definition. And wining too, since I've been having plenty of that. The great thing about venting on here is that you guys are as frustrated and impatient as I am. My husband doesn't get that. My parents don't get that. My friends don't get that. For the last year, I've been straining all of those relationships enough by never being home and never being able to hang out because of studying. This is truly a support group. For my last three sections, I've never seen this much talking and felt this much togetherness, and I love it. You guys rock.

Tex, I need some support right now. Can you tell me about your REG experience. Mine was awful. I didn't see where my testlets got harder. I had all these obscure questions….just trying to see if anyone had similar experiences and still passed

Since it's not practical for people to not take the exam as a sign of protest, maybe we can do something else to show our discontent. Like schedule a massive call to the customer service number and ask when the scores will be released. Flood the lines for 2-3 days and I'm sure they'll get the picture. Thoughts?

I took REG and I've had a similar experience. Although I could not finish chapter 6 and 7 (Becker), I found all the MC to be confusing and I left clueless from the exam. It was simply horrible and very unlike the other tests I've taken. The simulations were very long and all calculations. Expecting only a miracle.

FAR – 78

BEC – 81

AUD – 81

Haze,

I did BEC first and overstudied out of fear and uncertainty. I felt like it was “easy” in comparison to the Becker questions, and ended up doing fairly well.

Then I took REG and it was a lot harder, but I walked out having no idea. I was like uhh, I could've passed or I could've failed. I got an 83.

Then I took AUD and walked out feeling like I got a 100 – I recognized every question and rocked the answer. Then I got a 73.

Then I took FAR and felt like I was being brutally brain-raped without lube. Most painful 4 hours of my life. I felt like I deserved a 50, and I got an 87.

Overall, it seems like I've been seeing what a lot of people say – if you feel good, you might've blown it, and if you feel bad, you still could've done quite well. I believe I only passed FAR because of curving. I did terrible. But others did terrible-ER! So as for REG, I don't really have any tips other than that I felt pretty bleh. Take confidence that it's a tough test and even when you feel terrible walking out it might be that a) you were doing well, so your testlets got harder, and you don't have to get as many of those harder ones right as you do with the easies, and b) everyone else probably thought it was hard too, and they might've done worse than you. It really is a game of curves.

pabernal30@gmail.com, same here, Test was very different from FAR AND BEC. Little obscure details. The Blaw questions were worded MUCH differently from the practice material. SIMS were super confusing.

I agree w/ HaVic.. we need to either do a syncronized mass call or email to express our disgust with this process and demand change.

What is the dealo with scores?!

[HazeEastwood]

Tex, unfortunately I didn't think my testlets got harder, who knows. The first 1 out of the gate felt tough. That was the first exam I walked out of feeling completely beaten up. I walked in confident and crawled out depressed. I went home had a cookie binge from the depression of the exam!

Tex, I totally had the same experience on the exams that you did (except I got a 71 on AUD). Here's hoping we both knocked it out this time!

@EM NY – How about both?

NASBA_needs_BANDWIDTH, what review material are you using for AUD?

FAR-81
BEC-84
AUD-91
REG-89

[NASBA_needs_BANDWIDTH]

I used Becker both times, using the 2011 update for my test in February. I think it covered most things pretty well but based on my experiences they really need to add in some more j/e stuff to the review (or any at all for that matter).

I should probably note that I can't speak to how good the internal control stuff is because I work in internal audit and already knew most of it. But, from what I can tell it's legit.

J/E's? Are you saying there is a lot of FAR material on the audit exam?
