Bumping for the score release … don't mean to cause any panic.

Did not enjoy REG. So glad I passed! Now I can go toss that darn book.

Took REG 4 times over the past 10 years and FINALLY PASSED with an 80!!!!! Just started testing again so still have 3 to go but SO HAPPY my nemesis is done!

Passed Reg with 86. Of all the exams I took this was actually the most stressful on test day and probably the most difficult exam for me (I studied minimal for BEC). One thing that helped me with all my exams but specifically reg and the new format was that I get through my MC questions very quickly. I finished MC well ahead of schedule and used ALL of my time on the sims. There were times when I said I understand the concept but what do you want me to do here… your question and wording does not make sense.

I had a lot of that lashing at at the REG exam. Ultimately the extra time allowed me to use the authoritative literature to check myself on some items. Alll in some of the material was interesting but of all the exams this is the one you could not pay me to do again!

As of tonight I've finally passed all 4 exams. REG was the only one that I failed with a frustrating 74 in Q1. I studied so hard for my retake for an entire month. I did everything I could possibly do and I managed to make an 83 in Q2 with the new format.

With the new exam you have to move faster on REG. The sims take forever. You need atleast 2 hrs and 30 mins for the sims. I left 2 blank when I passed with a 83, bc I ran out of time.

Passed REG with a 90! First exam. Used Ninja only (clocked in about 40 hours), finished with a whole hour left to spare. I guess I'll forgive you for getting rid of the $47 MCQ only.

offically done with 4 exams, could not have came any sooner!!! passed reg!!!! All I have to say is never give up and keep studying……if it is possible for me, i am 100% sure it is possible for anyone who is working/studying hard!!!! I only used becker, if you study the material in detail and have enough time to go over all the MC questions and lectures and etc. The time spent should be enough and in addition, pay attention to all the words and concepts and look up anything you don't understand for your understanding to sit in your memory. I actually restudied majority of the book and ready to retake if I didn't pass this quarter. You guys can all do it!!! I believe!!!! and congratz everyone else!

Passed REG with an 86! Can't believe it because I walked out very confident that I failed. When a marching band starts playing outside your window during the test and frustration gets the best of you, naturally you don't have high expectations. If I can pass REG with that distraction, I'm going to kill it on my last one – FAR!

CONGRATS to all those who passed!

Passed REG with an 85! So happy and relieved after waiting for 2.5 months for this score and thinking back to all the terribly hard sims. Just waiting for the September score release to find out about AUD!

Congrats to everyone who passed and to those who didn't, keep your head up! you can do it

[MeanJoe]

Was nervous to check but was happy to see a passing score after waiting 2.5 months for the release.

One more to go!

I passed with a 76. This was my third time trying with REG and I was ready to give up. I'm just waiting on my BEC score so I can hopefully finally be done!

[klucas]

Passed with a 75!

[CPA788]

Well, it took me 5 tries on REG, but I finally did it. 11 total exam sittings and I. AM. DONE.

REG was terrible. I will tell anyone who is up against the wire with an expiring exam pending to use a tutor. I was leery about going that route but dropped some $ on an amazing guy in FLA (screenshare/phone sessions) and he is honestly what made the difference for me. I could not for the life of me ever get my score on Taxation on Entities to get out of the Weaker zone. With my 4th fail being a 72 and another Weaker on Entities, that's all I focused on with the tutor. He got me to a Stronger on my score from today – 76. That 76 might as well be a 99 at this point.

Because I. AM. DONE.

Congrats to others who slayed this beast.

BEC - 74, 77
FAR - 72, 71 (retake 7/29)
REG - 69
AUD - Q4 '16
