    So here is the situation… I was originally waiting on a promotion after I completed my CPA exam, my company has decided to promote me anyway, with the understanding I will still become a CPA in the very near future.

    I am due to take FAR on 11/10 and I am doing pretty decent with the Becker Review. Scoring 80-85% that is only when I am looking at the formulas. I am having a hard time remembering all the formulas on my own this time around. With out looking at them, I am scoring in the low 65-75%.

    Audit expires on 12/7 and I still have to retake BEC for the 3rd time at the end of November.

    Do I take the test and pray that I can pull off a miracle? Or do I postpone and loose audit???

    I think another failing score would be devastating, but loosing audit is pretty brutal too.

    What would you do?

    AUD: 77
    REG: 86
    FAR: TBD
    BEC: 79 (Expired)

    I took AUD today and just found out I failed REG with a 64. I needed to pass both exams this quarter, since my BEC credit is expiring this week. I'm devastated that I didn't pass REG. but I feel even WORST that BEC is gonna expire on me.

    My suggestion is that you take BEC at the end of this month. Since you're familiar with BEC exam, try it again and just give it your all like your life depended on it. Wish i did…good luck!

    BEC-61,68,75
    FAR-63,63,58,77
    AUD-64
    REG-59,64

    When can I get my life back?

    Definitely take BEC at the end of the month. Even if you don't pass, you're basically in the same situation you would be if you didn't take it at all. Really nothing to lose here.

    Losing credit or biting the bullet and taking the exam? I think the choice is pretty obvious on this one, man. Take BEC

    AUD: Pass
    REG: Pass
    BEC: Pass
    FAR: Pass

    First try CPA. Thank god. God bless America.

    Thanks guys… I am taking FAR on Monday as planned and am hoping for a miracle.

    Still taking BEC at the end of the month as well.

    Hopefully I will not lose audit but if I do, hopefully I will pass another one before that happens.
