Ugh that SUCKS!!! 🙁 I dunno how it works for MA though…I know that other people were receiving “contact coordinator” with their message…

I will be so pissed if my FAR score isn’t up tonight lol today would be a waste of a work day!!!

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

Hey!! Umm… No skimming for me lol. I have taken a much needed study break. Went to NY for a Wedding this past weekend – played a lot of golf! well I hit the ball around, call it golf if you want lol. It was a worse than ever round to start the weekend, but by sunday I was back to a low 90..

Waiting for that damn blue box too!!

BEC: 73,81(7/6/2010); AUD: 75(5/24/2010); FAR: 76(8/31/2010); REG: 77 (10/18/2010) - DONE!!!!

Yes I am studying – I did not put enough time into the first time and have a feeling that I will need to re-take it next window.

But, have enjoyed the slower pace.

[RittCPA]

Ha! I tried to study, but then I went to Montreal to party and haven't cracked a book since. There is a 60% chance I passed that baby and am done. My problem was the simulations, and you can't really study for that…I try to get my points on MCQs. Besides, I will not forget the calcs…I may have to refresh my mind on the straight memorization stuff though. If I failed, I am going to buy a whole new set of multiple choice questions because I did all the ones I had twice, and now know some of the answers by heart (not a good look). That makes my current study materials crap…

Hi guys! I have been MIA the last week. I think mostly everybody else has, too. I am definitely NOT looking over FAR at all. I already put my study materials away haha (at least for now).

Idrathergolf – I know what you mean. People are already congratulating me I am like woah woah woah!! I don't even have my score yet lol. I mean I am not gonna lie it definitely feels like I am done right now. I know in about 2 weeks though when scores get released I will be a hot mess. Oh well. At least I can sleep at night now!! lol

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

Hey! I have been checking while a work every so often, but it is very quiet… I ordered my REG study materials (should be getting those soon… mixed emotions on that). I hope to heck that I passed FAR so I only have one section to go, but honestly I have no clue. Some of the posts by people make me feel decent about my chances, but in my head I won't let myself believe I passed – it sucks…

Any study tips/advice for taking REG from all of you who have passed… man I am in with the right group lol.

BEC: 73,81(7/6/2010); AUD: 75(5/24/2010); FAR: 76(8/31/2010); REG: 77 (10/18/2010) - DONE!!!!

Trevor – did you get your study materials yet?! My REG exam was a nightmare! (I took it in November 2009) using Becker and I honestly thought I failed the exam. I just think at that time I didn't realize that if the testlets were getting harder, that was a good sign. Either way, my exam was difficult. I don't really have any tips – just make sure you have a good understanding of the topics they go over! REG can get tricky with all the tax stuff. The business law stuff wasn't too bad.

So, BEC is supposed to be released this week…we will see! Once BEC is released I will be FREAKING OUT. I am already nervous lol.

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

[Trevor]

My materials should be in today, got Yaeger again… has worked for me thus far. I am also very nervous about the scores for FAR. I hope I passed, but honestly I have no idea. I would think I did not pass, but then again from some of the stories out there who the heck knows. We can all just hope for the best! and keep smiling!

On a study note… I am taking REG 10/18 which gives me 5 weeks to study. However, I have stuff going on 3 of the 5 weekends and potentially 4… I am really going to have to put my head down and study during the week. I am undecided on what I will do when I get me FAR score… If I do not pass I might push my REG back to the begining of Nov… and retake FAR within the first couple weeks of Oct. For me I feel like REG is on the back burner because I want to pass FAR before 1/1/2011…

What would you all do if this was your situation?

BEC: 73,81(7/6/2010); AUD: 75(5/24/2010); FAR: 76(8/31/2010); REG: 77 (10/18/2010) - DONE!!!!

Trevor – I am supposed to be sitting for REG on 10/22 and have stuff going on 2 or 3 weekends as well. But my biggest kicker is I'm taking 2 Tax graduate courses that start this week. I just got one of my syllabus and my midterm (worth 40%) of my grade is on 10/27. Its a class in Individual Tax, so I know there will be some overlap but god I know I won't be able to study that weekend after taking REG exam on Friday afternoon. I might be pushing it out as well probably by 2 or 3 weeks because I have another commitment already at the end of October. I would say maybe push it back since you don't want to be so stressed out you can't enjoy yourself on those weekends or make yourself cram for a few days before your exam, especially since this could be your last exam!

FAR 7/2 - 88
BEC 7/30 - 87
AUD 8/27 - 80
REG 11/12 - 96

Trevor – if you have to retake FAR I would suggest pushing REG back until 11/30 and retaking FAR mid October. You already studied for FAR so a lot of the topics are still semi fresh in your head. REG is a brand new mini beast…I would probably start studying REG (at least the first few chapters or so) because we will find out about FAR next week (hopefully).

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

[MPoni123]

Not to mention if you retake FAR say 2nd week of October..that will leave you with about 6 weeks to study for REG if you schedule it on 11/30 instead of the 5 weeks you have now. If we know our FAR scores by next week…that will still leave you with about 3 weeks to study/review for FAR. I think that makes the most sense.

Hi guys,

I just started getting a little anxious about our FAR scores. I've started to enjoy my time not studying…..I sure hope it doesn't come to an end……

[herbert7890]

I'm having nightmares every night about failing FAR…………. is not easy, doing an MBA, CPA and working, all at the same time………

FAR 88 - BEC 86 - AUD 90 - REG 85

[MPoni123]

Connie I feel the same way you do. I am already nervous about scores and BEC hasn't even been released yet lol. It was nice not feeling nervous or anxious or any other feelings associated with the CPA exam for the last 2 weeks. That is over now!

Side note…it's funny how some people use “FARE” and others use “FAR.” I personally like FAR better because all the other ones have 3 letters, too so they are all comparable. I get that FAR is financial accounting and REporting…but why take the first two letters of that last word? I dunno I guess that bothers me haha. 🙂

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

[Anonymous]

LOL MPoni – I vote for FAR as well. I like the consistency of the 3 letters for all the exams. Maybe we just have too much time on our hands right now!

[MPoni123]

hahaha well that's why I figured I would mention the FAR vs. FARE thing…it would give us something to talk about while we wait for scores! lol

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!
