Thanks Jeff.
Curious, when you say that you think the passing rates will get stronger…any predictions? Seems like you were surprised by the rate on Audit, is Audit typically the highest overall passing rate? What do you make of REG? Is it the new “beast” ?
Here is another thing that always puzzles me: easy/hard exam. Frankly, I don't think any of this is easy, but I would say that I enjoyed studying some parts more so than others. Is there an interpretation in there somewhere? Guess what I mean is, can there be a correlation between passing certain exams and attributes of the “accountant”. I have been pondering this whole adventure lately and wondering why BEC and FAR are behind me and why REG and Audit aren't. ( Guess I have already figured out I am NOT a Tax or Audit person!) I realize it is all me, but trying to figure out what it is about REG and Aud that I struggle with. Maybe I am over thinking this, but, I like to analyze things. Is it that Audit and REG are more conceptual? In that to study FAR and BEC ( is this more operational?) you have to go through alot of calculations… I know this really falls in line with ” are you a visual learner, an audio learner, mixture of both, etc.
I guess these exams have really done a number on my objectivity. I really don't know my ass from first base anymore.
Just curious with all your time involved in this process if you have developed your own analysis of the passing of certain parts, etc.
Ok, enough of my monologue. Back to Audit.
Happy New Year Jeff— 5 kids in 10 years—you have been a busy guy π
