    Well at least I did better than I was expecting, so there’s that. I was expecting like in the 50s but was closer to 70. Which means hopefully I don’t have to spend too much time relearning everything. All in all, I’m still proud of myself for giving it my all. I dealt with a lot of life circumstances during my studying and finals days leading up to my exam, and to still score decently close to passing gives me hope. I’m not happy I have to retake this nightmare but this tells me I still have the potential to pass. Which is why I’m reaching out to my fellow candidates. I plan to go over the report and focus on my weak areas. I also want to retake as soon as I can while the content is still relatively somewhat fresh in my mind. With that said, what do you guys suggest I should do: rewatch all the video lectures or just keep drilling MCQ and practice sims? I feel I could’ve passed if I had more time to practice MCQ and so that’s something I plan to focus more on. I also thought about giving the ELL method a try as I want to study more efficiently this time around. Any tips and suggestions are appreciated.

    FYI – I’m using Wiley CPAexcel.

    I definitely suggest starting over on your studying. Just hitting your weak spots or doing multiple choice questions is not going to get you where you need to be. There are so many articles out there explaining this. I know when I failed BEC I started completely over and passed with an 82. I failed REG and started over again. I’m waiting on my score!! Hoping it was my last exam!!

    Yeah I plan to review everything as well as focus more on my weaker areas. When you started over did you just do MCQ on all the topics or actually read/rewatched everything? I want to be more productive and efficient the second time around.

    oh man, I feel like this might be my post soon because I don't feel good about FAR (will found out on the 19th). But I am moving ahead with AUD for now and try to watch the videos before attempting the MCQs this time to get the “bigger picture,” before jumping in the details.

    FAR: 76
    REG: Currently studying
    AUD:
    BEC:

    I had a dream I got an 88 on the exam. So disappointed my mind was playing with my emotions.

    You should definitely start over completely and study like you have never taken the test before. A 67 is not just missing a passing grade and a few key concepts. A 67 is indicative of not understanding significant portions of the exam.
    It has been said before: you need to score a grade of 75 on your next exam to pass. You dont just need eight more points.

    FAR - 75 | REG - 87 | AUD - 82 | LAW - 81
