    I think for me it was Audit. I got a 64 the first time after some poor studying, however I studied really hard for my rematch and changed my routine and felt like I knew everything, and only squeezed out a 75. I actually thought I scored a little better when I walked out.

    So, which exam gave you the most trouble?

    I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!! I remember you from last quarter and was so impressed with how quickly you bounced back from your score.

    BEC was the hardest for me because of all the formulas and I felt like it was a lot of memorization with the IT and COSO stuff. And the variance…I hated that test! Not loving FAR either, but surprisingly I hate it less than BEC.

    A - 75
    B - 78 God is good.
    F - 77 Answered prayers.
    R - 84! Done!!

    Paperwork sent - waiting for license!!
    Still on a cloud and in shock. Through God, all things will happen.

    Probably REG, considering that it was the only one of the four that I've failed.

    FAR b/c it was my 1st exam and I had no idea how to study. Otherwise, REG. The Business Law portion was so dry…it was a battle to keep my eyes open while I studied. I was practically on a caffeine IV drip. Oh, and tax sucks.

    AUD: 84 - Oct. 2013
    BEC: 83 - Feb. 2014
    REG: 91 - May, 2014
    FAR: 68, 96 - Oct. 2014...DONE

    I'm just gonna apologize in advance for my smart mouth, but when I read the title of the thread this is what immediately came to my mind… the CPA exam. Once again, I apologize for my smarta$$ery today.

    So far for me it has been AUD – I got a 72 both times I took it and both times, I left feeling somewhat confident, or at least more confident than I did leaving FAR and I passed FAR with an 84. I am currently studying to retake AUD in less than 2 weeks and for some reason the concepts still trip me up. I know the concepts, its just something about the MCQ that I can't seem to master.

    FAR - 84.
    AUD - X,X,76.
    REG - X,X,75.
    BEC - X,X,74*, 81 AND IM DONE!!!!!!

    *if i dont pass, i lose FAR.

    Study materials: Becker videos/MCQ/Books, NINJA Blitz helped to finally pass AUD and REG.

    First exam was in May 2013, seems like so long ago - FINALLY DONE!!!

    Casagarber: BEC gave me trouble because it was like an exam on 6 unrelated college courses. Systems/IT, Economics, Cost Accounting, etc … nothing was related. I called it the mutt exam. 71, then a 73, then a 79.

    I still don't know how I ended up passing it. The other 3 seemed cake compared to BEC

    Licensed Florida CPA:
    B: 71, 73, 79
    A: 83
    R: 78 (expired), 77
    F: 74, 74, 80

    It's finally freaking over.

    AUD because it's extremely boring and the questions are tricky. I'd rather be working with number or learning about the tax code. With that said, I failed FAR twice. I know it's a lot of material, but the content in generally is more enjoyable than AUD any day of the week. It's those FAR SIMs keep getting me.

    Passed all sections.

    BEC has been my beast! I'm on my third go. Get my score tomorrow. And if I don't pass I'm not sure where I'll go from there and how I should study.

    BEC is mentioned a lot more than I thought it would be…just saying 😉 think it's pretty underrated.
