Hi everyone, here’s my situation:

My husband and I leave for vacation next Thursday, the 11th and will be gone for 8 days. As you all know score release is on the 9th. Understandably the husband also needs a break from the CPA exam and wants us to have a carefree, relaxing vacation. As such, he has begged me to not check my AUD score.

If I don’t pass I will clearly (and understandably) spend a lot of the vacation worried about it. Note, I am a Colorado candidate and need to get in under the rule change effective July 1st. If I don’t I will have to go back to school.

He has been awesome enough to let me talk him into me bringing flash cards for formulas on the BEC exam (my last section) but has asked me to not check my score…I even pinky swore him!

You guys, this is going to be terrible. Thoughts on how I can pretend like the score release didn’t occur? Have any of you had to promise someone something like this to someone (because you love them and they have a right to have emotions about the exam too)?

Awww…well, as someone who doesn't have a husband in her corner encouraging her to take an 8 day vacation I would say take the break and enjoy it. But it looks like you guys reached a nice compromise. Hopefully you will get passing news. 🙂

Has anyone ever failed it enough that it's shots whether it's a passing or failing score? LOL…..

This is how my boyfriend told me once: If you pass, your prize is the satisfaction of passing, we'll go out for dinner to celebrate. If you fail, I'll take us on a getaway trip. I ended up failing and I had a blast 😀 (obviously didn't fail on purpose).

But failing will put you down, yes, but if you failed, then the vacation is the perfect medicine to lifting up your spirits. Imagine taking the vacation without looking at your score, then finding out after the fact that you failed. What a miserable time you're going to have studying again with no vacation to look forward to.

Not saying you failed. Be positive!

BEC - PASS (79)
