Anybody else feeling helpless? I feel like every exam I take, I fail. I work full time and study 20-25 hours a week, I go through lectures, take notes, do a ton of MCQ. I spend hours, weeks and months studying and I still fail (I’ve been studying like a crazy person since September 2013). How do other people pass tests so easily??? I only passed BEC after taking it 3 times. I took AUD end of May and just found out I failed with a 61!!! I felt like I did pretty good on the MCQs and ok on SIMS, so I thought I passed. I took FAR and I got a 57 (for that though, I did feel a little underprepared, my NTS was about to expire, so I didn’t expect too much). I am just really down on myself, I have never faced so much failure and disappointments in my life. Can someone help me get me motivated again? and maybe give me some tips on what to do??

Thanks Lude that's great advice, and probably where my problems are. I try to do a lot of MCQ's and end up memorizing them instead of understanding them. Thank you.

AUD - Passed - 82 (10/1/13), Expires 4/1/2015 (57,62,64)
BEC - Passed - 77 (7/14/14) (53,67,70,74) Half way to CPA!!!!
REG - Passed - 81 (8/23/14) (68) 3 down 1 to go!!
FAR - Passed - 75 (11/11/14) I'm DONE!!!!!

Hi Ali

I have a quick question for you. You say your were a Becker Ambassador. Is it a lot of work and a pain in the butt or is it pretty non work intensive? I would like to not have to pay for the course, but I have so much in my plate I don;t have time to be inundated with one more thing. And hope your testing is going well! Helen

@helengirl: sorry just saw this. No it was not a lot of work at all, but at the same time the school where I was at, was a small private school. I just had to organize a few power point presentations and that's about it.
