Took FAR and BEC in one day. FAR 8am, BEC 12pm.

I dont’t feel very confident. Actually I had a headache and was hungry. And the test felt more like grinding and grinding and grinding to get through all five (ten in total) testlets than me doing anything particularly clever.

Does this look like a bad sign? 🙁

Cons:
Used up every minute of the 4h time.
(Thought I’d have a couple hours to grab lunch and read my notes.. I always got mock exams done by the 1:30 mark. I did go over every mcq testlet twice.. and then once more over flagged questions. And spending lots of time looking up stuff on the authoritative lit.)

Pros:
Did finish the test. Took time to think over every question including the SIMs and WC.

Flagged any questions that were remotely weird or hard or not straightforward; Got 12 for FAR and 11 for BEC. Sooo if those rumors that strange questions are the fake ones.. 😉

I heard that it’s impossible to guess CPA scores because of the scoring mechanism. Is feeling like I’ve been through a washing machine normal tho? Or is it foreshadowing? Maybe it’s just low blood sugar after 8hs of grinding :/

WOW! FAR is a beast. Of course you know back in the day you took all four exams over two days, but to do it willingly. Props to you!

Wow! Congrats on passing both!!

@Onion – any passing score is worth gloating over. A 75 means you just studied enough! Congratulations! I have been waiting for an update on this. I can't believe you took both in the same day. That's insane to me!

AUD - 56 - 68 - 61 - 9/8/16
REG - 75
FAR - 7/15/16
BEC - TBD

Update: 4/4 and done! I know it's kind an old thread to revive but I got LOTS of moral support last year from all the nice things everyone here said and just wanted to say thanks. And I ended up passing. In the middle of covid and everything too! So happy 🙂

I am glad you posed. I missed your original update last year.
Congrats on passing all of them, and very nice knocking out FAR and BEC in one day.
You never know with the CPA exams. I was shocked when I passed each exam lol.
There is just no way to judge.

Holy cow reading through this and my jaw just dropped; that's unbelievable. I'm pooped halfway through an exam, I couldn't ever do two back to back! Congrats on passing your last ones!
