I just checked mine for MA – still error score not found. Nothing yet

This is great. when i walked out of the exam, i was pretty sure I failed. Did great on the first testlet but the second and third just killed me. Not to mention the sims which i pretty much guessed my way through. Did well on the writing and I think i got the research parts too. Anyway its so nice to be done with FAR especially since the exam is changing next year. For those who are interested, I used Yaeger and it is great, although I haven't used anything else so I can't really compare. Good luck everyone!

Can anyone explain the difference between Wave 1 of scoring and Wave 2? I took FAR in MA on July 9 and haven't received my score…is it common for scores from early in the testing window to still fall to Wave 2 of score releases? Sooo frustrating as I just took BEC yesterday and will probably get that score back before FAR. How do I know what to study for for the next testing window???

Sorry CDep, that's a bummer. If you got a new Sim on your FAR exam, you got bumped to Wave 2.

Study what you had planned on studying. Shame to waste time – there may be enough time to get another exam done in Oct and then Nov could be a re-take or another exam

New sims toss you into the 2nd wave automatically

@mponi123,

hope everything went well for you on your FAR exam today. If you finished almost everything that is always a good indicator. Let us know.

@CDep: Noticed on your signature line that you want to take REG in December 2010. Keep in mind that the testing window is closed during December. You will have to take it in November to avoid exam format changes.

Hi CPABoston!! Took FAR today and so happy to be DONE with it. I posted my exam experience on the other topic “FAR Study Strategy – Exam 8/31″…basically I have no idea lol. I did finish most of it. Left a few SIMs blank and had to BS some other tabs. I finished both WC portions, though which I was happy about and definitely got both research tabs wrong!

Now we wait..

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

Helle everyone:

How much for Yaeger? Does Yaeger help simulation? I am studying for FAR now. Which material is good for simulation?

Thanks,

MPoni123, you said that your testlet was getting harder. How could you tell? I couldn't tell if mine was getting harder or not, it just stayed the same.

REG - 85
BEC - 79
AUD - 82

Hi everyone,

I would like to share my CPA experience with all of you. I started studying in Oct'09 and gave all my parts till feb'10. Cleared all my parts except FAR in which I got 74..:( It was so heart breaking, that I wasn't able to concentrate anymore in my studies, but I knew the reason behind it, I left my last sim almost completely, except for the communication tab. Then due to some reasons, I have to postpone my exam, so finally I gave it in August and got a passing score of 82! This time also, I applied the same strategy in studying, which I did last time (in fact this time I wasn't able to concentrate so much as I did before), but I made sure that I don't leave a single question. I must say, this time exam was much more difficult than the first one, I gave in Jan. But, I did it. (Don't waste your time on a question you don't know, just go ahead and try to complete it in last only if you have time, that 1 question will not only waste your time but will also bring down your confidence and you are gonna screw up the rest of the exam; 1 more thing don't worry so much about the time, just by looking at it, don't panic, just do it and you will see that you have completed your exam on time)

My study strategy: I know, most of you won't agree with me if I'd say that I did becker questions (MCQ, sim and only 1 final exam) only once. Believe me, I studied the book 4 times to make my concepts clear but wasn't able to do MCQ even twice. But I wouldn't suggest this to anyone (MCQ part). Make sure than u do MCQ atleast twice but one more thing, make yourself very familiar with the concepts, coz at the end they are one thats going to benefit you. I found BEC & REG easier than AUD & FAR. I studied only 3 weeks each for BEC and REG. My friends told me that I am gonna fail if I don't practice MCQs again n again but I made it with my old strategy of understanding the concepts.

Thanks you all for your supports and sharing your views. It helped me a lot when I got a 74! I hope no one, gets it..

Thanks Jeff for this website, you have done a great job!

Good Luck to all!

@Cute_fefe – I don't know if my testlets were getting harder or I just didn't know the material. The first testlet was the easiest of them all. From what I remember…I didn't struggle with a lot of the MCQs. I found myself taking longer on the 2nd and 3rd testlets and the MCQs (for me) being confusing. So, I don't know if the testlets were getting harder or I just didn't know the material as well on the other testlets.

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