So unfortunately, I just took FAR for the third time, and yet again came so close to passing but not quite.
First off, one thing you must know about me that I don’t like letting other people down, but most of all I don’t like letting myself down. And right now it has been almost a year and a half testing and taking so many exams that I don’t even want to count how many. Every time I take a new exam, my family is supportive and encouraging, but they always say things along these lines “well you have studied for this one for so long” “you must have it down by now so you will pass” “you will definitely pass this time” and so it just makes me feel so horrible having to say that I didn’t pass, yet again. And it is incredibly frustrating and I feel like my family doesn’t understand (oh and it definitely doesn’t help that my father is a managing partner at another firm, so he is in the CPA business).
FAR is my last exam to get done. I took it last December 2012 and January 2013 (as a bad attempt of a quick turnaround to try to pass again real quickly). So I took busy season off from studying (which is January through July for me) and started to study again and took it this window. Unfortunately, I just got my score back and was so close but it was as we would say “another 71”.
I need help deciding, at this point, do I just tell my family I passed and go on with it and try at it again in January? I am just not sure if I can deal with their reactions of not passing again. Any advice would be helpful, thank you.
