AUD was my first test and I was scheduled to take BEC two weeks later, so I wasn't even thinking about my AUD score. When I got the score, I had no idea what type of pressure score release could be. I was on vacation and it was my son's sixth birthday. Out of the blue, I jumped on the NASBA site with my phone and put in my info and got my score, a 79. Celebration, relief and then dread. See, I felt like I did better on AUD than BEC and the 79 didn't leave a lot of wiggle room for BEC. BEC seemed so much bigger in scope than AUD and I didn't take nearly as much time to prepare. I was really nervous about my writing since one of the questions was on a topic I hadn't even studied for because I didn't even know it was in the scope of BEC. So, I was convinced I was borderline. Fast forward a LONG couple of weeks during the nothingness that is summer and to the computer glitch at AICPA. I hit refresh hundreds of times from my mountain time zone desk in Idaho. I left work thinking that I must have been on the bubble and determined I was going to have to wait a week. The family went out to dinner to get my mind off of score release (it didn't work…I checked on my phone about 20 times during dinner). My phone dies about five minutes before we leave the restaurant. As we get in the car after dinner, I asked my wife to navigate to the website on her phone. I told her my section ID (I had it memorized because that is a normal thing to do…) and she inputs the information. She looks at me and says is 87 good? I grabbed the phone in disbelief that in five minutes my score magically appeared. Sure enough, an 87. Absolute relief, joy and elation spread through me. It may sound like hyperbole, but this rivaled seeing my son cry out and hence breath for the first time as the most anxiety to relief shifts of my life. I took REG on October 4, but fortunately have had Advanced Accounting (yay Consolidations) and Accounting Theory (ugh…Concept Statements) to distract me during the past four weeks. There is no bubble for REG, so at least with this score release, I know there will be a result soon…just not soon enough. BRB, gotta go refresh…
