I think we’ve all seen the posts that basically go “wow I walked out of the testing center upset/crying blah blah thought I failed, left SIMS blank…and I passed!” and we’ve all said to ourselves, “hey, there’s hope for me”

But I just got my REG score after convincing myself I passed….and I got a 65. Not even like a 74, 73…a 65. I passed Audit and left two whole SIMS blank (They were on FAR material, how I supposed to know about FAR yet)

On REG, I filled out every SIM pretty confidently, except maybe one that I figured was a pre test. Thought MCQ were difficult but nothing extraordinary. And failed. Spectacularly. There were a ton of questions on one ancillary concept (anyone who took REG knows what I’m talking about) but other than that, I’m pretty shocked at my score.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Thinking you did well, which is a rare feeling to have after taking the cpa exam, and just being blindsided?

I hope I'm not too late.

Don't stress about it. At this point, go in thinking you can do it and just do your best.

AUD- 76 | Fail | 92
REG- fail | 80
BEC- 78 | 83
FAR- fail | fail | fail | 77

CA PETH 98%

I AM DONE. PRAISE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

After my second attempt with REG I thought I nailed it, that there was no way I couldn't pass. I thought I did well on the MCQs and I thought the SIMs were doable. But I failed with a 72. I think I cried for 2 days. At that point I decided to put REG on the back burner and try a different exam. I hadn't passed anything yet. With FAR, I felt ok after the exam. I didn't feel like I nailed it or that I bombed it. I figured it would be close, which it was. So I guess you never know with these exams. I did learn that when people ask you the dreaded “so how did it go” I will never say “it went really well” again. I'm just gonna go with “its always hard to tell with these exams.”

REG - 64, 72, 81!
FAR - 77
AUD - 79
BEC - 72, 79! And Done!
