My fiance passed FAR with a 75 (01/02/2010)!!!! She is taking BEC and we are studying the Becker flash cards right now…if she passes BEC before April 25th then we can have a real life again! Woot Woot!

Oh…. my….. God….. 75! First part of the CPA down on the first try! I'm so damn happy right now. Too bad working for a Big 4 means I need to work both days this weekend and can't celebrate.

74… saw it last night and cried like a baby. feeling so deflated and to top it off I have to go to a work party tonight and “work the crowd” when all I want to do is sleep and say f*** accounting. God/AICPA is cruel. This was a bad, long, stressful work week and I just kept telling myself getting my score (a passing one) would make everything going on right now better. This test has cost me much – money, time, family, friends, boyfriend, approx. 10 extra lbs, and grey hair. I had a plan for all the things I wanted to do when I knew I was done… I guess everything gets to wait a few more months. Its not the end of the world I realize but this weekend I am allowing myself to sulk and wallow. I hate my life!

Sorry for the rant and whine.

clairedelune…take your time to get through the misery…cry – eat ice cream – whatever!!! You can pick yourself up and go forward! I say this speaking from experience, I was taking the exam w/ around 7 other coworkers and we all did the Becker review. I literally took BEC the morning after another of my coworkers took it and he'd called the night before saying how easy it was and how Becker was harder, etc. Knowing that I'd gotten a 98% on the Becker, I thought it was going to be cake…well, I could've broken out in tears and hit quit after the first testlet b/c my questions were from the “Twilight Zone” and I'd never even seen anything like them before. I pressed on and passed after my 3rd try. FAR has been the exact same…I just took it for the 4th time on the 16th and am anxiously awaiting a passing score. I switched to Yaeger this last time, and I will say, I felt much better going into the exam than I ever did w/ Becker! You may consider switching. My heart goes out to you b/c I know exactly what you're feeling! Just remember, no one that says they're sorry, they know how you must feel can't unless they've been through this…even people who have taken the test but didn't fail don't know what it's like to have your heart racing when you're checking your score – only to see “Eligible To Take This Section” in bold!

Keep going…you CAN DO THIS!!!!

Thanks cpatx I think I am going to take your advice and switch review courses. Becker was OK… but obviously not good enough! I have heard good things about Yager so I will give them a try. I appreicate the cheer and encouragement! Today I am going to scrap myself out of bed, exercise, shower, find some gaddamn hose that doesnt have a run it it, paste a happy smile on my face and go to my silly work party! I think I will start the 299 club… any takers?

Claire and Pursuit,

I failed FAR this go-round too with a 69. I must say that if I fail, I'd rather have failed with that than a 74. A 74 is such a slap in the face, but I still cried myself to sleep Wednesday night. Mainly I was sad to have put 110% into something and sacrificed my entire holidays and got way behind at the office for a 69. My husband cringed every time I said the word “study”. He's more devasted than me because he knows what a b**** I am to him and the kids when I am trying to focus and learn this boring and vast amount of material for FAR.

I feel like I could not have tried any harder than I did. I actually thought my MC questions were very doable and noticed the testlet got more difficult. My written communications were cake topics. What more can I do? Maybe starting over from scratch I will become a damn financial accounting expert.

Having to go to a party would be a nightmare for me right now. “How'd you do on your exam?” “Failed”. “Aw, you will ace it next time”. How many times do we hear that one?

Go ahead and mourn for awhile like me. After tax season I will try to get back into study mode. I'm already having FAR nightmares. I will retake it in May. Let's keep each other motivated, but right now, let's share a pity party.

CPA Wanna Be, Claire, and Pursuit-

I failed with a 71. I'm in the same boat as ya'll. Sacrificed holidays for nothing, I guess. Gonna give it another shot in April. Cried myself to sleep Wednesday night too 🙁

FAR 71 (retake 4/5/10), AUD (3/5/10), BEC (5/28/10), and REG TBA

[Skylar18]

Clair/Pursuit/CPAwanna,

I know exactly what yall are going through and no doubt its awful but you guys cant let this test get you down. We are all very smart dedicated people and i promise you it will happen eventually. Half of what is so tough about this test is just the psychological aspect of it. Just keep at it and it will come. Its cliche but trust me…if i can pass yall can definitely pass. Good luck!!!!

AUD 83, BEC 75, REG 69, 71, 76, FAR 61, 69, 81…Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SSGG]

Congrats for those who passed, specially with 75!

for those who got 74, i m with you, coz i m too in the same boat. wasn't expecting the score but got it last night, 74!! its like a slap on face. didn't cry coz got exam today but my bad luck, that too got canceled due to weather. now i have to worry about both.

But i think nothing is gonna happen by worrying, just relax and prepare again and show your best.

Does anyone know, when we can retake the exam, i mean what time gap is required. and how much is the review fee if we want to and are there any chances that we can pass thru review?

[PursuitCPA]

next window 250 bucks
