I just received my score for FAR this evening, a jaw-dropping 85!
I consider this score a miracle from the Almighty God.
I started sitting for the CPA exam in 2006 (and passed two (Auditing and BEC) of the four sections that I sat for at that time). My account was put on hold in 2007 because of the 150 accounting-hour rule. My state BOA granted me an extension, but required me to complete some additional accounting classes in order to become eligible to sit for the two outstanding sections (Regulation and FAR). Upon completion of the accounting classes, BOA gave me six (6) months (April to September, 2009) to pass the remaining two sections. I scored 81 points in Regulation in May and just saw my FAR score (85 points). I completed only 4 of the 5 testlets and did about 40% of the second simulation. I feel so thankful to God because I would have lost the credits for both BEC and Auditing by the end of this month if I did not pass FAR.
I thought I should share my story to encourage others to keep striving until they reach their goal. I'm glad my efforts eventually paid off (juggling studying with family life and work was indeed very challenging). I am a CPA at last! Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
