I really hate that I waited 5 years after college to finally sit for my first exam.

MCQs felt easier than all of the review questions I did, but did feel each testlet got a bit tougher. Probably spent too much time both going back through the MCQ and getting bogged down on one of the sims.

The research sim – fairly sure I got it right. 2 of the other 5 felt OK and 1 I know I screwed up. Hope that one was a pretest.

Took REG because our firm is primarily tax work. Thought I’d be most comfortable. All of my practice sims were easy because I didn’t have to do any research. So, I probably didn’t manage my time very well – I had to rush through the last two sims yesterday. Weird for me, because I used to have to slow myself down for tests like this. Tried to make an effort to check all of the MCQs – probably my downfall.

But without having ever gotten results before, I could talk myself into a 65, or I could talk myself into an 85. Really no idea how I feel about it.

REG (2/27/14): 82
BEC (5/30/14): 90
AUD (8/18/14): 88
FAR (11/17/14): 81

Tootsie hit the nail on the head! I have sat for multiple exams, and thought I passed but failed. I walked out of AUD with a smile on my face dreaming of a high 80 low 90 score, and found out it was only a 76! I was happy to receive a passing grade, but had a little disappointment. Like I have said many times:

The CPA exam is like a tootsie pop, “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know!”

Totally normal. I always leave feeling mentally beat up and thinking “man this is going to be a heartbreaker.” As you can see by my scores, sometimes it was sometimes it wasn't.

I'm just glad scores are due out over a weekend. I hate getting scores on a weekday and then having to keep up appearances at work all daydream it's bad news.

Even the day after, I just sit here and think about it more and more. The more I think about it, the better I think I probably did.

Next 10 days or so are going to be tough.
