Posting in this thread seems so surreal. I've fantasized about the day when I would actually be able to post in this thread and that day is today. I still don't think I've completely come to grips about that fact. With that being said, my year long journey has well been worth it for this feeling that I'm experiencing right now. The only section I passed on the first try was Regulations, all others on the second try. Write your plan down and be specific about the amount of hours you plan to study each day and stick to your plan!!! Don't make excuses about deterring away from your plan. Surround yourself with only those individuals who are supportive and very encouraging, it makes a big difference! Finally, be very familiar with your learning style and which review course best correlates with that learning style. For me, it was a combination of Ninja, Roger and Wiley. If I can be of any assistance in your journey, please let me know. Oh and Kudos to this forum!!!! I know this forum motivated me on those days I wanted to throw in the towel! Wishing everyone the best on their journey!!!

FAR-79
REG-82
AUD-83
BEC- August 31st

Done and DONE!!!!
Passed REG with an 86.
I feel incredibly lucky to have passed all on the first try.
I've dreamed about this day for so long and lo and behold- no fireworks or anything of the kind.
But the relief is there and I couldn't be happier!
Today's a good day.

FAR 4/24/16 --85--
AUD 7/5/16 --84--

[Daalkom]

I passed! I'm done! I had to pass twice for each section. I can't believe I'm done now. Congratulations everyone!!!

[ipadminihalf]

Wow, it feels so good to be done, almost exactly 1 year from when I started studying. I had a FAR retake, first score was 63 and passed with an 82! WOOO!

REG - 2/19/16 - 77!
BEC - 4/16/16 - 79!!
AUD - 6/04/16 - 84!!!
FAR - 8/31/16

Am very excited that am done.
Got result for Final section, REG score today. Thanks one and all in this forum, it is really nice to have this forum, special thanks to Jeff.

My journey started from 2014 and passed FAR very fast and straggled with BEC took 5 times and finally passed.
Then Comes AUD which i passed in no time and had only one chance for REG before i could lose FAR credit. I lost the credit eventually and immediately took FAR and passed. November i took REG and passed.

Moral of the story:
I recommend for new comers, the following order FAR, AUD, BEC and REG. As am having Audit and Accounts background i cleared AUD and FAR quickly. But still this should be the way because there are lot of overlapping topics which one can take advantage of.

Review course I used:
FAR – Becker and Ninja
AUD – Becker and Ninja
BEC – Becker and Ninja (I should thank Jeff for Ninja BEC as i was straggling, got 13 points jump)
REG – Becker, Ninja and Gleim (mainly Gleim for Simulation)

I found, REG Sims are the toughest of the lot where AL is not that helpful.

Finally, Never lose hope, you can do it.

Thanks.

Hey guys!

I just found out that I passed my last exam.

FAR – 89 MAY 2016
AUD – 84 AUG 2016
REG – 76 AUG 2016
BEC – 87 NOV 2016

Couldn't be happier to finish all four parts but I have a huge problem.

I do not have any accouting experiences nor do I have worked anywhere except my military translator job at US forces in Korea. I worked at USFK for two years and I also worked for a Korean commercial bank.

It looks like all jobs require accounting experiences whatsoever.

where should I look for

I'm Korean and I will need my employer to sponsor my visa in the states.

Does any of you think that I have a chance of finding a job?

Although I may not seem as competitive as you guys in terms of sponsoring visa, I worked for the U.S. and Republic of Korea Combined Forces Command.

Please help me out guys.. I am trying to find any accounting (auditing job) to build experiences, but it looks like it's a tough deal for a foreigner like me…

I can easily find a job in Seoul, Korea (I mean big four member firms in Korea), but as I worked for the military, I made my dream to work in the States.

Damn I just love America.

Please enlighten me.. anybody??
