I’ve been on my journey since January of this year and while it may not be that long in comparison to some others, I am beyond discouraged and defeated. I started out with REG, took it 3 times and failed each…I’ve literally read the Becker book 3 times, and still not a pass. I decided to move onto Audit and I went through the book, reading, writing, and doing MCQs…but my methods haven’t worked and I failed again.

So here I am, a week away from starting my full-time job and I feel like I’ve already failed…how can I work for a firm where I cannot even pass one section??! It’s embarrassing, especially when others have passed all 4 parts in the last year since our internship. I don’t feel like I’m worthy enough to work because of it. Maybe 1 month for audit was too little, but REG again? I honestly feel like a failure.

I feel so defeated, any words of encouragement or help would be greatly appreciated. What do I do with myself today after last night’s letdown?
