Hi Everyone,

I can’t believe how calm this site is right now. I took FAR on 5/15 and I’m happy to say this is my LAST exam! This waiting is killing me. And, by the time my score is released – if I did fail FAR it will be difficult for me to schedule the next test date before I lose AUD. The AICPA really needs to release scores a little more quickly.

Not to mention this wait is playing mind games with me. One minute I think I may pass but the next minute I’m afraid of failing. This test is so difficult to guage. When I took REG – I left the exam crying because I was “positive” that I failed. After all, I didn’t even touch the 2nd sim….how could I possible pass? Well, I did! And, I’m not complaining.

However, I had a similar situation with this past exam. I felt OK about the MCQs; sure, I had a few Govt Accounting & Fair Value Measurement questions that I was unsure of but overall I felt relatively calm. My only concern is the MCQ testlets didn’t appear to fluctuate in the level difficulty. The 1st sim wasn’t too bad – I’m sure I didn’t ace all of the questions but I was confident with my communication. Then I got to the 2nd sim!! It was horrible. I probably had 4-5 tabs of problems and each problem took up the entire page! I barely touched this sim. I only wrote 1 sentence on the communication tab and ran out of time.

I read an earlier thread that talked about candidates passing FAR without finishing (or barely touching) the 2nd sim. This gives me a little bit of hope. In the meantime I continue to impatiently wait for my scores (which I will receive in the mail because I live in a SNAIL MAIL state).

Best of luck to all!

It'll get insane soon 🙂

Trying to patiently wait so I can focus on Audit. This week has been tougher though than the last few. I hate waiting. I keep checking for updates to see if something released. Once it starts I will be on pins & needles.

Good luck on your last section. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

I keep wishing they'd release BEC… I'm waiting on AUD scores, but I know they start with BEC.

I'm ready to see those results!

KAREN, I know how you feel. This section has been the hardest for me to gauge how I did. I just have no idea. I am soooo hoping for a release this week. It's killing me. This isn't my last section, I still have BEC to go. But, I sure could study for it better knowing one way or the other about this one!

[Soanxious]

Anytime now for any section would be great! Then we at least know they got the ball rolling. Come on AICPA!!!!!!!!!!

You must think you did well, soanxious! I'm starting to think that they could keep my score. 🙂

I'm in the same exact boat as you. I'm waiting for my FAR grade, which is my last section and I felt like complete trash when I left. I don't think my second testlet was harder than the first which is usually a bad sign, but my third was definitely harder than both the first and second. I dunno, maybe I had two hard testlets, maybe I didn't… God, I hate FAR.

The Sims were a nightmare as well, so it can go either way at this point. I just want my grade!!

Becker Review Course - Done!!

I'm right there with you yankees144. I want BEC to release so I'll know my FAR score is not far behind. I just want to know if I can finally put these exams behind me or not already. Here's to hoping for a BEC release today and FAR to release 2nd or 3rd rather than last.

Me too…… Please hurry up with the scores already! Seriously cannot focus on anything. This is my last section & I lose REG credit if I fail FAR. Ahhhhhh the dreaded wait continues. Good luck everyone!

FAR 62, 70, ???
BEC 80
AUD 97

The wait really sucks!!! I took FAR the end of April and AUD the end of May. If I don't pass both FAR & AUD, I will lose credit for REG and BEC, so I will be starting over. I got a 74 on FAR during the Jan-Feb window, so I am hopeful that I improved my score by at least 1 FREAKING POINT. (Sorry:), I am still a little bit upset about that one.) I felt really good about AUD, but it was very unlike any other CPA exam section that I have ever taken before.

Most recent scores
BEC-80, FAR-79

Evan –

Good luck with FAR. I always say that I would rather bomb an exam miserably then miss passing by 1 point. Right now, I'm just stressed. The thought of taking FAR (or any other section) over again is just devastating to me. I'm so afraid of getting the “failure letter” in the mail. I really don't want to pick up a Becker Review book EVER again. Idk……this waiting really stinks!

[lkinzer]

Good luck Evan & Karen! I am very impatiently waiting on FAR…
