Hey,

I am just curious as to what the percentage is of people who pass this whole thing the first time? I know its pretty low, but I just wonder if anyone has an actual number of the people who only take each part once.

Thanks!

BEC - 79; FAR-79, AUD-80, REG-80

HOLY CRAP I DID IT!!!!

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to add my 2 cents.

My CFO passed the CPA exam back in the paper and pencil days, and I think he was more excited than me when I passed recently LOL! He is one of the best supervisors I have ever had and he has never said anything towards me about him having to pass it back in the day when you sat for all 4 at once. I am really lucky to work for him.

He sent a really nice email to everyone in the dept after I passed and even bragged about me passing all 4 on the first try. He's nothing like the troll on this thread 🙂

btw, when I passed the first 2 sections he walked around calling me 50…for 50%, then 75 after I passed the 3rd….today he called me 100 LOL, he's an awesome boss.

I took all 4 parts in 1995 when you had to take all 4 at the same time. Also, it was paper and pencil, 4 hours each, two days in a row (taken in a classroom at OSU). I took Becker and worked very hard. I passed all 4 the first time.

I remember what one of my profs said: “The CPA exam is not a test you want to take more than once.” I decided that I was going to pass it all at once.

@Debra “I decided that I was going to pass it all at once”…Way to go! If only more people just decided they were going to pass, the pass rates would be 100%! What a bunch of idiots who don't decide to pass on the first try!
