Pretty confident I passed Reg, got a 73. I would rather score a 5 than a 73, they are the same damn score in the end. that is beyond frustratring.

B -
A - passed
R - passed
F - passed

I know how you feel. I got a 74 when I took FAR in November. Retook it in January and got a 77. Don't let it hang you up, even though those close scores are basically soul crushing. Just jump back in and start reviewing. IMO it's better to try to do a retake sooner rather than later.

I wouldnt dwell on this score too much. Like 90% of the time, when someone retakes an exam, their score will increase by atleast 5 points. So there is a 90% chance you will pass the exam on your next try.

Just don't let this exam defeat you. And remember the knowledge is still in your head. The time and effort you put into studying for this exam has not been wasted just because you didnt pass now.

I failed Auditing last November with a 69. I only gave myself 2 weeks to restudy before I retook it. So its not like you have to go back and restudy everything all over again. Keep your chin up. Retake it at the start of April.

FAR-81!!
AUD-69, Retake: 84!!
REG-86!!
BEC-81!!
Education- Done
Ethics- August 2013
Experience- 7 Months of CPA Experience and counting!

Just started studying REG. Why is it so hard? Am I in for an experience? I have hated FAR so far…

That is a tough break on REG, sorry to hear that!!! Reschedule as soon as possible and try not to let it get into your head! To get so close to passing shows that you KNOW the material well enough overall…how did you feel about your SIMS? Was there a particular topic that kept popping up that you didn't feel confident on? Take a few days off and evaluate everything. Drink plenty of wine/beer/spirits. Then bust out your Visa, get an NTS, and get back on the REG wagon!

I received a 71 on Audit and while it was painful and soul crushing, I used it to completely change my prep and provide motivation. I am SO bitter about my audit fail that I've done 2000+ MC?s, over 100 sims, outlined every chapter in Becker, listened to Ninja Audio daily, read ninja notes weekly, because I am hellbent on NEVER seeing a 71 again! Retesting Monday feels like revenge and I am actually looking forward to it!

Keep your head in the game and retest ASAP, you CAN do this!!!!

Good Luck Everyone!!!! 🙂

REG: 75 DONE 🙂
AUD: 61, 71, 68, 92 DONE 🙂
