    Took REG this past summer and just got 74. So I studied even harder and retook it today.

    The moment I walked out of the test center, I am pretty sure that my life is screwed.

    I didn’t think I did well in the first testlet, but it was still acceptable.

    Then the 2nd testlet…totally nightmare.

    I did pretty well in the Becker practice questions. Since I practiced with those questions at least twice, I am pretty familiar with the format of the questions.

    But today? No way that would gonna happen.

    I marked more than 50% of the questions. And it was obvious that I missed a lot, so I got a much easier 3rd testlet.

    Spent too much time on MCQ and left two SIMs incomplete…did part of them but incomplete.

    I don’t know if this is other people’s case. But I am pretty sure I have to retake REG in Jan…

    FAR: 75 (almost get expired...but finally survived)
    BEC: 89 (I honestly don't know how I can get the score--BEC is not easy at all)
    REG: 74, 76 (worked my butt off to get the extra 2 point...but worth it!)
    AUD: 74, 80 (REALLY?)
    Preparing for Ethics exam

    All I dream of is to become a CPA.

    I agree with you. But I have been through all sections at least once. Comparing with the practice problems (I use Becker) I can have a pretty good sense of whether I know the stuff or not. It was the case for all sections until this time.

    What really scared me today is that the questions are in totally different forms than what I have been practicing. The contents are either off the textbook or from the very tiny corner in some lines unhighlighted/never appeared in practice questions.

    Plus, I know sometimes I chose the wrong answer even though I know the stuff and even though I should have nailed it. This adds to the certainty that I have to prepare for the 3rd time…
