Failed my 3rd test in a row…..And they were the first 3 tests I took. 2 BEC and 1 Audit. Just found out I failed Audit. I’m not sure if I’ll continue. I don’t know what to do differently. so frustrating. I knew I might have trouble, but this is insane. I’m not sure if I can continue to waste time and money. Spent the first year of my marriage studying…..For nothing. Sorry to sound like a Debbie Downer, but that’s me right now. Congrats to all the passing scores today!!

BEC - 67 | 69 | 2014?
AUD - 11/27/13 - FAIL
REG - 2014
FAR - 2014

@vkhCPA:

For my retakes, I started from scratch. I figured I'd be “risk averse” (ha) and just go from the beginning. What I found was that a lot of what I was re-studying I didn't remember studying in the first place which makes me think I didn't really understand it at all. One other thing I started to do is focusing in more on the simulations. The times I failed, I skimmed and clicked through them when I was studying and kind of just got a grasp on the concept of each simulation. I thought that if I focused my attention on the MC practice, the simulations would just come to me. I think that logic was just an excuse to not spend time studying the simulations since they are so mind numbing.

Pretty much if you're retaking, just treat it like you've never taken it before. I think that will make you more likely to master the concepts.
