Ok, so here’s my situation, I’ve taken the AUD & FAR parts only. Ive taken each of them 3 times, Failed every single one. I’ve scored between 67-73 each time. I feel like I need a month break during busy season before I blow a effing gasket and quit all together. Should I move onto something new, like REG or continue with the same 2 that I can’t seem to master. Part of my failed attempts is not allowing enough study time for each section. I’m going to work on that.

Any suggestions? comments?

@samiam I have wanted to quit multiple times. One thing that always helps me is sitting down and writing down why it is I decided to pursue being a CPA. Another thing that has kept me going is reading all the success stories on this forum of people that have been at this exam for years and finally passed. They are very inspiring and it really makes me think twice about burning my cpa exam materials. I am honest with myself with how I study. In the past I have barely put in 100% and then try to sell it like I studied so hard. For this go around I am really studying and actually understanding what people mean when they say they are burned out from studying.

Good Luck. And I hope you don't quit. I will be taking audit for the 3rd time come April. You can do this!

@beverlymum

thanks for the encouragement! it defintely helps to see that I am not the only one struggling to pass and that people are able to evenutally pass after multiple times. I think I am in the same boat with real study time. I like to say that Ive put in 100%, but I probably haven't, it's hard to do with work and a social life, even though I should let that go for a year. GOOD LUCK in April! I hope we pass AUD!

I would like additional MC questions, I feel like I am starting to memorize the Becker ones instead of really knowing the answer, what's my best option?

Yes, it is the same. I bought it through A71 since it was cheaper at the time. I assume it still is but don't know for sure.

But it has been rebranded Wiley CPAexcel, or something like that.

To all of those who are ready to give up, I feel your pain. Try getting a 74, not once, not twice but 4 TIMES. I have taken AUD a total of 3 times and just got my score on Monday, another 74. Same thing for BEC, 2 attempts and the first time I made a 74, the second time I made a 73. I won't quit, but I really want to quit! I am tackling BEC again this week. Praying that the CPA Gods feel mercy on me. I have passed REG only.

REG - 75
BEC - 76
AUD - 76
FAR - 84, DONE 11/9/14!
