[75 CPA]

If you are very smart and a great student and pass the CPA Exam pretty easily, that’s great for you. I really am pleased. But the exam didn’t truly put you to a serious test. The people I cheer for the most are those that work like dogs just to be average students. And, no matter how hard the CPA Exam pushes those folks back, they just keep moving forward and eventually they pass. And, that is truly wonderful. The CPA Exam has been a real test of their character and that character has proven to be rock solid. Now that is an accomplishment worth cheering about.

I liked the quote from the Rocky Balboa movie so well that I went to Google and found the whole quote. This quote is for all those people where the CPA Exam is truly a serious test of your intestinal fortitude. Don’t give up – don’t ever give up.

Joe Hoyle

Rocky: “Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, now go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!”

Great quote…I knew what quote you were referring to before I even read the quote on your post. I follow that to the bone. Good luck to all.

Coasting to the finish line doesn't take anything away from the overall achievement. We all have the same goal, we just take different paths.

@mwtgg & @TheNeverEndingStory

I am taking Audit tomorrow any last minute advice since you both passed.

pcarey: I guess my biggest piece of advice is to know the standard reports and the variations thereof. I would definitely know the assertions and don't forget about internal control. What I would do now is just browse what I felt weakest.

Most of all, relax. Good luck!

pcarey- @ this stage most important thing you can do is relax and make sure you get a good nights rest you will need to be sharp on this exam because the difference between a right and wrong answer can be one word.
