Got that FAR pass with a 78 – still in complete shock. Walked out of there and told all of my family/friends that I surely failed. The reason I took it was because my NTS expired (I signed up for 4 exams in March 1… terrible mistake I know.) So I wanted to make sure that I didn't waste the money and opportunity, I guess?

I took AUD earlier in the month while in summer classes and got a 70. I knew I hadn't done well, but I definitely felt like I had a better chance of passing it than FAR. Not upset though – AUD is a much easier grind.

So thankful! Glad for this forum and everyone's advice. The MCQ's only approach (I use Becker) and Ninja Audio have been great tips I've seen from people. Thank you!!

Passed FAR with an 80. Three more to go. I was so sure I failed after the exam. Must have gotten lucky with pretest questions.

Scored a 76…not the best, but I'll take it. Still not sure how I passed after feeling the way I did walking out of Prometric. I am truly shocked. One down, three to go.

Passed FAR on my first try! It's a miracle because that exam was brutal. I even cried after taking it. The MCQs were very easy to the point that I did not even feel the change in difficulty. But the sims damn! Very lengthy! I literally guessed on 2 sims due to time constraint and the others I was not confident about. I was ready for a fail. That exam experience was very bad.

But here I am today, passed with a 79! I guess you will really never know until you get your score!

Congrats to everyone!

After reading so many negative comments on the new updates for the CPA, I knew I had no chance of passing FAR. Took the AUD part before taking the FAR part by couple of days thinking I had it in the bag, came out disappointed because of my lack of experience in the field. When i took FAR, the one thing i was dreading were the Sims, as many members complained about the numerous documents to go through. Surprisingly i came out feeling comfortable with the most dreadful part in the CPA. Cant say I was able to sleep this past week, preparing my self mentally and emotionally for a retake for both parts. Shocked to say i passed both parts with decent scores from the first try.
