jmosterland:
I was prepared. I studied 3 weeks full time and I have always worked in industry as cfo/controller, so financial accounting was my baby!
However, it was my first cpa test EVER, did not know what to expect, did not notice a change in difficulty within the MCQ testlets and completely BSed in the second WC.
I had quite a few MCQs that I wasn't completely sure about. Felt good about the sim tabs (not the WC, especially the second one, but English is not my first language).
I got out feeling just ok, not great at all and I started to study for AUD.
Two weeks after I took AUD and I got out feeling really great, so when I got my AUD score I started to doubt about FAR a little.
This just proves that our performances are really difficult to evaluate.
FAR - 7/26/10 - 95
AUD - 8/10/10 - 88
BEC - 8/31/10 - 88
REG - 10/15/10 - 95
