@JoMarie – how are you doing…now that it's over?!

[missjones513]

Took REG today. No clue how I did. I know there were a handful of mcq's that I guessed on because I couldn't remember how to do the calculation. Somehow I figured out a number to put in the cells on the sims so that was good :). One sim I thought I bombed but I checked my book when I got back and I might have done it right.

Hopeful I somehow passed, I'm tired of studying REG.

REG - 5/29/12 (64), 10/1/12 (74), 5/20/13 (75, expires 12/31/14)
FAR - 8/14/12 (64), 8/5/14 (75)
BEC - 11/19/12 (70), 2/25/13 (72), 11/21/13 (73), 1/21/14 (73), 8/30/14 (72), 11/24/14 (75)
AUD - 4/22/13 (65), 10/12/13 (79)

I'm done!!!

How did it go?? A common question I've gotten today. Anyways, first testlet was ok, second testlet was harder, a couple of questions I totally guessed on. Third testlet was extremely wordy. The sims gave me a headache. 3 of them I totally were ok, research was ok, 2 were out of the ballpark, last one was inbetween. I'm just very glad I only have a wait a little over a week to find out. I'm thinking of taking a few days off, then I'm going to start tackling BEC again. I have it scheduled for July 17th, it'll be here before I know it.

JoMarie, I fell you on FAR. I took FAR today and Lord help me!!!!! 1st testlet was ok, 2nd was a mixture of short questions and longer ones, 3rd testlet was about the same as the 2nd testlet. The SIMS – I got 2 research questions which were fairly easy to find, 2 research were ok, 2 were about 50%+, and 1 was just far out….. I just need a BIG 7-5!!!!!! Nothing more, nothing less!!.. Good Luck to all of us on our exam scores!!!

One more day of testing to go!! I have mine bright and early at 8am!! I am so sick of studying and doing MCQ. I have NO idea how I will do. I took a practice exam this morning and my MCQ was a 71%. Exited out before I did the SIMs on accident. I am trying to focus on engagement planning, evidence, and internal control (weakest areas). Should I really be worried about IT? There were 11 questions on the practice, but I am hoping it isn't that many on the actual exam. I just don't want to waste my time on learning all that random stuff when I can improve those other 3 weak areas. I am plan to get a better night's sleep tonight. I am exhausted.

[J.P.]

@Ashley I would focus on those 3 areas tonight. I wouldn't do any SIMS, just focus on 10-20 question quizzes in the Wiley test bank for your weak areas.

70% on MC's is doing well. The Wiley questions are very similar to the actual exam and you have to remember that a score of 75 doesn't mean 75%.

Thanks jpyoung, I noticed that the percentages didn't add up correctly when I took the practice exam. I am hoping that anything I get wrong is a pretest question tomorrow!!! 🙂 I can wish!! I have been doing those practice questions too! I am off work so I am going to keep on chugging along.

[J.P.]

Good luck tomorrow!

I must be going through CPA exam studying withdrawal. I'm bored, looking for something to do. So I pulled out all my BEC materials and maybe start studying sooner than originally planned.
