Regardless of the different papers, how many times have you guys sat for the exam so far?

Definitely need some moral support here!!

I have taken it for 6 times, passed ONE only!

Bump.

Interesting thread…

I have been studying/testing for almost 3 years now (granted I did have my son last year).

Here is where I am on this:

BX6-63, 65, 66, 70, 68, 79!! -just found out today 🙂

AX5-56, 65, 72, 66, waiting… (12/9/2014 score release)

RX3-73, 62, 76!!

FX2- 75 (expired), 77!! -found out last score release

That makes it 16 times total, assuming I passed audit…

If I pass AUD too, that will be 3 passes this testing window.

I account most of that to the fact that I got tired of wasting my time half-studying and decided to take it seriously.

Money doesn't grow on trees and I was getting tired of spending time away from my one year old too.

I also want to give a shout out to the NINJA MCQ.

Without it, I may very well have just thrown in the towel!

B-79
A-79
R-76
F-77

FINALLY DONE!!!!!

[Im_ready]

12 Attempts so far. My journey started in 2014. I received my first pass for AUD last december. I took REG 6 weeks last and received my 2nd pass. I'm taking BEC tomorrow for the 4th time (wish me luck!). I'm a senior now at a mid-tier firm. So, I can't give up. 🙂

FAR – 67,69,69,73,67
BEC – 70,70,69
REG – 49,79
AUD – 75

[tangerinemdr15]

Total of 7. Hoping this score release on 6/27 is good to me!

@CPAchiever Very similar to yours in terms of no. of attempts and yes, also a senior at a local firm. Wish you and everyone all the best.

I think that this is right:

BEC – 74, 68, 71
AUD – 63, 65, 66, 78 (lost credit, retake 7/14)
REG – 65
FAR – 73, 71 (waiting on score 6/27)

So far, 11 exams, 1 pass, 1 score not provided yet. I started with AUD back in 2013 or so. Unfortunately, I did not take the exam seriously so I kept taking AUD like every 6 to 9 months. Then I finally got serious about the exam sometime in early 2016 and got my only passing grade on AUD. Then I took BEC to come up with a 74 first attempt, then a quick retake for a 68. Then I started studying FAR.. First attempt 73. Quick retake in Jan 2017… 71. Then had to retake BEC Feb 2017… 71. Then I didnt even get to study for REG, but I paid for it, so I got through maybe half the material and got a 65.

My father-in-law ended up in bad health around May/June of 2017 so I ended up putting off the rest of the exam to be with the family. So now here I am starting all over again. I have changed up my routine for studying. Now I study in the mornings before work instead of after work when I am tired and falling asleep.

Best of luck to everyone out there. Just remember we can all pass the exam, its all about the consistent daily effort that you can give to the exam and the determination to not let it beat you.

AUD – 2 (studied for about 1.5 months on two occasions 73 then 78)
REG – 1 (studies 3 weeks)
BEC – 1 (studies for about 3 months)
FAR – 2 so far and 1 retake tomorrow (studied for 45 days the first time 73, studied for 40 days the second time a year later and different exam structure 60, now I have put in close to 3 months this time and feel a lot more confident… but still very nervous for tomorrow)

Although I am very anxious for June 27th to arrive, I feel like I will know walking out of the exam tomorrow whether I need to start preparing my last attempt at FAR in Q3. Need to pass by end of Sept or I lose BEC.

[FutureCPA]

Thank you for the encouragement guys. I guess my true question is after how many fail attempts do you decide that it's too many and you should quit. The double digits exam attempts are really encouraging.

I need to pass before busy season.
