Also, Entourage:
“What does passing on the first time mean? It means you're a good test taker and you had the time/were able to put in the time to get it done.”
Yes. Yes it does. This job should be about commitment, skill, and the ability to be tested daily. The CPA Exam tests all of these aspects, not just acct. principles. Put in the time. RTFQ. Do the MCQ's. Repeat for a month. Gets you ready for the daily monotony of “high credentials”.
“Multiple failures and an eventually pass shows perseverance, motivation, and persistence.”
Yes, and often also shows stubbornness, dogmatism, and a lack of acceptance of new ideas or plans. It does show learning, strength, and bravery, tho, and plain ol' cussedness under fire, so, fair enough.
“Accounting skills can be taught and looked up;”
Not on test day. This is the CPA Exam we are talking about, right? š
“a terrible attitude cannot be changed.”
I had a much worse attitude 3 months ago, so I agree.
“I urge you to think about that next time you post a remark like that.”
My words are carefully considered, mulled, and formed in the dark tunnels of my mind before they hit the keyboard. I say only what I feel is needed at the time, or perhaps more than should be said ever, just to see what happens.
Seriously, tho, everyone. I really didn't mean to Troll y'all. This is just me blowing off steam and being pissed about FAR today. I hate this exam. It really doesn't mean you are a better accountant. It means we all fell for the plan. Gotta watch us accountants. Especially the ones at the top š
