Please share your stories. I took REG at the end of May and I am sure I failed as I had a very limited knowledge of taxation and the test concentrated specifically on taxes so I had to guess too many MCQs and also all of the SIMs except for the research questions. I am sure I did not pass.

FAR - 89
AUD - 84
BEC - 84
REG - 49, 86
ETHICS - 96........ DONE!!!

Yep. I thought FOR SURE that I didn't pass. I was already planning on studying and retaking it a month later. I BOMBED two task questions (i think). I could recall two MC questions that I knowingly answered incorrect. It was considerably harder than AUD since you have to enter values rather than picking from an answer bank.

Anyhow, I passed with an 82. lol

AUD 90
REG 82
FAR Feb 2015
BEC July 2015?

I seriously thought i failed. I came out out of the exam thinking if i really had just taken REG. The subjects were something i had never seen. MC didnt seem to be getting hard and when i got to SIMS they seemed out of this world. There were only 2 (including research) SIMS that i felt confident there rest were simple guesses. I checked my score and barely passed with a 76. I was shocked didnt know what happened, so this comes to tell that you can pass even though you think 110% that you failed.

THANKS TO GOD

FAR - 76
AUD- 88
REG - 76
BEC- 74, 80

DONE!!!!!

I could not tell if my MCs were getting harder. SIMS were pretty difficult. Overall I felt terrible about this test. I was almost certain I failed, because the MC experience was similar to my AUD test, except I felt the AUD SIMS went pretty well. This was confirmed by my AUD score report which rated me as weaker in MCs and Stronger and SIMS. I was sure I failed REG because the SIMS.

Once again my expensive review material did a terrible job of preparing me for the exam.

I only scored an 82, so I didn't do great, but I'll take it.

I scored a 75 on REG. I was shocked as hell! I felt like I guessed on all the simulations and quite a few of the MCs. This was my first section and I'm more confident now taking the rest of the sections. I spent 18 days after the end of my fall semester to study and took it last month. Studied for 50-60 hours which I don't recommend (or maybe it was ideal depending on how you look at it).

I accidentally clicked on a “hiya”. I know this is off topic but what does that even mean and can it be undone?

[Anonymous]

Had what felt like med-hard-med testlets (third testlet was very easy) and did a lot (lot!) of guessing on the sims. I hadn't ever gotten around to printing out and studying tax forms before the test, and it seemed like even the “easy” material was tested in new and confusing ways. Overall depressing experience.

I didn't think I failed, but my guess was that I got around an 80, best case 85.

Actual=95.

hoping this is the case for me – looking to pass reg!!! anyone else feel like this and pass?

I feel terrible about REG and good about FAR. I’ve felt bad about both AUD and BEC and passed both of those. Feeling bad is normal. I don’t subscribe to the “if you think you failed you passed” nonsense, I just think these exams are hard and it’s normal to feel bad. I think if you’re experienced you can sorta tell if you have a chance. My first FAR attempt I knew I failed. REG will be a disappointing fail if it happens – I really felt good going in but my exam was hard, especially the MCQ’s

[itooshallpass]

Well reading these has given me some hope. With FAR I was quite confident I passed, and I did. With AUD I was sure I failed and I passed… Reg I am even more sure I failed than I was with AUD. I wasn't prepared enough. Hopefully I have a chance, but I will probably have to re-take.

FAR - 85 (12/17)
AUD - 80 (1/18)
REG - 83 (6/18)
BEC - 85 (7/18)

Ethics - 95

DONE DONE DONE DONE

Agreed – @The People's Champ and @itooshallpass. I thought BEC I for sure I failed I only got through 30% of material – I passed. FAR I failed a few times before passing, so I figured I just failed again. AUD I thought I failed and felt like i questioned every answer I selected / second guessed myself. REG the multi choice I Felt so defeated afterwards . I am just hoping and praying.

@Collegeathlete, I was CONVINCED that I failed REG. I froze during the exam and I had subjects that I didn't recognize. I was prepared for a redo and I passed. I wouldn't put too much stock in how you feel. I hope you get good news on score release day!

Never give up!

FAR - 84 (11/13/17)

AUD - 82 (5/3/17)

REG - 75 (1/27/18)

BEC - 75 (4/29/18)

I took REG on 6/9, not feeling good, only hope is that somehow I got a 75. It sucks because I work in tax and I know a lot about tax and even help clients with tax planning/strategy questions so I know it, plus I studied way harder for REG than the other 3 and I knew the non-tax material really well. It just came down to the fact that I got a weird exam and I have no idea how I did. Not only did I study harder for this exam but I also feel most confident in this material in real life application than the other three, so it'd really be brutal if I failed. Just need a 75! Only 10 days left.

AUD: 54 (10/31/15); 83 (12/02/17)
BEC: 70 (01/31/16); 90 (07/02/17)
FAR: 73 (10/03/15); 88 (02/17/18)
REG: 83 (06/09/18)

Hoping hard for that 75 also. I stop thinking about it for a few days straight then randomly something will pop up in my head and make me think I did worse than I thought before, like another random question most likely incorrect or something (pessimistic about it from the start – thought about jumping into studying for a re-take but another 10 days will be enough time for the brain to re-frame itself). I also felt more prepared for REG than any of the other 3, although there's so much material I don't know if that means I felt as comfortable with the same ratio of material if that makes sense i.e. knowing 65 % of REG purely amount wise is probably 95 % of AUD as an example. Good luck everyone!
