I got my score last night. A 70 on REG. Nevertheless, I’m disappointed in myself.

Im seeking opinions. I really need a win soon to help me fell like I’m not a complete idiot who is unable to pass the CPA exam.

Option 1. I buckle down & attempt REG again in February and immediately move on to REG for 2nd quarter window. Materials: I still have ninja mcqs for REG but will need to renew soon. I have ninja book, notes, & flashcards. Might add Ninja audio or some other materials to have something fresh. Have only FAR flashcards & old Gliem study book. Overall expenses: Dec, Exam fee & mcq renewal for REG. Feb, FAR exam fee, ninja book, notes & mcqs for FAR. Total = 2 exam fees, 2 mqs sets, ninja book, & ninja notes.

Option 2. Set up FAR exam for end of February, study my butt off for 2 months & give it my best. Schedule REG for May & study my butt off for 3 months & take another crack at it. Materials: Need to buy Ninja FAR book, notes, mcqs & maybe even add audio. Then will have to get REG mcq renewal & add audio or something. Overall costs: Dec, FAR exam fees, mcqs, book, notes, & maybe audio. Feb, REG exam fee, mcqs, & maybe audio.

I’m leaning towards option 1. Less costs right away. Tax return will help with 2nd round of costs. Most of REG material is still fresh, but I dont want to get burned out and do worse on future exams.

Anyone want to weigh in or vote on my next step?

FAR - 61 (1/15), Rematch - NEXT
REG - 70 (11/15), Rematch - Coming after next FAR Exam
BEC - Planning in 2016 after FAR & REG Wins
AUD - Planning in 2016 after FAR, REG & BEC wins

I failed AUD the first time I took it – It was the first part I attempted and instead of restudying I moved on to BEC. Hindsight is 20/20. I just retook AUD (and passed!) but I regretted my decision to move on when I had to start studying for AUD all over. I suggest going back to REG while it is fresh on your mind.

AUD: 9/2015: 68, 11/2015: 80
BEC: 10/2015: 78
REG: TBD

Stick to one till you pass it. I failed REG the first time too.

AUD - 74, 99 !!
REG - 74, 92
BEC - 83
FAR - 73, 86
