*Disclaimer* This is sad.

I have an estranged relationship with my father, I have spoke to him once in the last six years. He was found dead today by my 16 year old brother. Our parents are divorced and I am next of kin. Besides my heart breaking for my brother (he lived with my father) I am completely and utterly numb. I have no idea how to feel. I am scheduled to take REG (the last part for me) on Wednesday. I have studied more than I can even put into words. Power weekends, power nights, MC until I want to puke. I felt ready today, I felt like I could take down that beast that is REG until I got the phone call.

I desperately want to be done with this beast. I have studied so hard on one hand and on the other my own father, who I admittedly havent spoke to, just died. I think my brother would want me to take it, I mean whats the worst that could happen…I fail again. My brother has been one of my biggest cheerleaders. I’m so lost, so confused…so numb. When I found out I immediately started rattling off estate tax information…maybe my way to cope.

Sorry if this is not the place for soemthing like this. Just thought someone might be able to give me some encouragement/motivation/kind words…something since we are all studying for this exam too.

Hope everyone had a productive study day.

SMP – I am fully convinced you really can do anything. Congratulations.

I am teary eyed and got goosebumps when I saw you did it.

YOU REALLY DID IT!

You, my dear A71 friend, are an inspiration.

I could not be happier for you! I hope you are celebrating big this weekend, and happy dance all night long.

You deserve this 🙂

So I don't know how I missed this feed but I just reread the whole thing. SMP you helped me through my Reg journey and I am so sorry to hear about your loss! This past semester finals my best friend died the morning before my Audit final.. I took it and aced it. I think its times like these that show us what were made of and obviously your journey will be something you can be commended for! I am so happy your done.. I also passed Reg.. Took FAR yesterday (yikes) and am shooting to take BEC by the end of the month. I wish you the best!

Oh! I love the video!

I am not going to lie I nearly fell out of my chair and then nearly hyperventalited when I saw I passed. Pure shock…and excitement. I screamed and scared my dogs.

I think in the last two-ish weeks I have experienced nearly every emotion in the book.

I kind of feel like I can take on the world after passing REG! 🙂

Okay guys. So I am set to take the first part of the CIA exam Monday. I am completely and utterly overwhelmed with handling the estate/bankruptcy assocaited with said estate and all the family stuff that tags along with it that I can't even see straight let alone answer a MC question with any amount of confidence.

I still have time to push back the exam (for a fee). Not sure if I should do that, keep plugging and hope that by some stroke of luck I pass. I would know my score immediately after I complete the exam. No waiting like CPA scores.

I am so lost with so much right now and then there is this exam hanging over my head. Just don't know what to do…not really sure I could mentally handle a failure.

I'm in the “push it back” camp on this one! If you don't feel exam ready and it will push you over the edge if you don't pass…then don't do that to yourself. If you can push back (not sure how the CIA NTS works) then do it and take the first part when you feel ready to tackle it. However, I will also tell you what you tell me all the time on here, “You know more than you think you do!”. I think you need to consider how you feel if you don't see the passing score and go from there. You know what the right decision is for you!!!!! 🙂

REG: 75 DONE 🙂
AUD: 61, 71, 68, 92 DONE 🙂
BEC: 76 DONE 🙂
FAR: 72, 74, 79 DONE 🙂
