I still can't believe that I passed all part of the cpa exam……still kinda excited……lol…just need a job now…..

Congrats NY-CPA! Which section did you hate the most?!

BEC=77, FAR=78, REG=73,74,80, AUD=70,69, 84 DONE!

[SSGG]

NJCPA2B, That strategy will help, i lost my FAR coz of this only, i ran out of time and lost by just 1 point…:(

[TSword7]

tax_vixen congratulations on the 99! That's incredible. I actually dreamed (in the moments I slept last night) that I got a 99 but was still SO thankful when the 82 showed up! 🙂

NY-CPA congrats on passing all of them!

BEC - 83 (7/09),FAR - 80 (11/09), AUD - 84 (1/10), REG -82 (3/10)

[NJCPA2B]

SSGG, go for it…..

After failing REG2x I applied the new strategy to FAR and was able to pass…. I thought I would surely fail FAR since I was guessing so much in the MCQs…but it left me enough time for the SIMS where I did well enough on the tabs……When I walked out of FAR I thought I scored about a 40…..turned-out to be a 78….

BEC=77, FAR=78, REG=73,74,80, AUD=70,69, 84 DONE!

[tax_vixen]

Thanks TSword7! Still think it's a mistake, haha. I must have had a lot of “pretest” questions….. or maybe it was those lucky McDonald's french fries I had before the exam.

AUD - 92 :: REG - 99 :: FAR - 92 :: BEC - 82

[NJCPA2B]

BEC=77, FAR=78, REG=73,74,80, AUD=70,69, 84 DONE!

[SSGG]

tax_vixen – did you leave the test thinking you aced it? Goodness…

FAR- 70, 76 REG - 91 BEC - 80 AUD - 74, 85

GA - NASBA state

Shawna, I most definitely did NOT feel good walking out of reg. I took audit in January and walked out feeling really good, I felt like I knew the answer to every question. I ended up getting a 92 which seemed plausible.

When I took regulation though I questioned myself a lot more (since I am a tax accountant and deal with this stuff everyday). When I got to the simulations there were 3 tabs between the 2 simulations that had topics I'd never seen in Becker and I panicked! I literally guessed on an entire tab. They were TOUGH. I walked out thinking I may have gotten between a 75 and an 80, just by comparing my experience to audit. I was WAY wrong…

AUD - 92 :: REG - 99 :: FAR - 92 :: BEC - 82

[Shawna]

Too funny! Goes to show that you never know!

FAR- 70, 76 REG - 91 BEC - 80 AUD - 74, 85

GA - NASBA state

[Hope to Pass- CT]

I called NASBA and they informed me that my score has not been released to them by the AICPA yet and it will anytime from now to the end of the month:(

FAR- 80, REG- 72,69, 77 (this felt great), BEC- 74 retake on 8/26, AUD- 72, 79

NJCPA2B…congratulation on passing! can you share with us which study materials you used for your 3rd time writing the REG exam? What did you do that was different than the first two times? thank you and good luck on ur AUD score

[NJCPA2B]

cpa701- I used the 2009 Yaeger Home Study course to pass REG on my 3 try. I played the law DVDs over and over again when ever I was in the car and in the shower….I kinda memorized all the legal stuff then did the MCQs in the Wiley book 2 days before the exam. Since it was my 3X, I watched the tax portions of the DVDs at 1.5 to 2.0X speed, my brain was trained to listed at 2X speed since I already had listened to the DVDs before.

I did most of the MCQ in the Wiley CPA Exam Review 2009 book 2 times.

But the test-strategy I took on my 3rd REG test was different:

1. I went faster during the MCQs by NOT being stubborn to figure out each MCQ; always guess “b” right-away if I couldn't figure out how to solve in 20 seconds.

2. I AVOIDED the Research trap! it's only worth 1 or 2 points and it's insane to find what you're looking for…

3. I wrote a short novel on the written communications sections, ( I hadn't before and always scored low).

4. And the efffects of the above left me plenty of time to figure-out the SIMS which were the MOST difficult of the 3 REG exams of my 3rd try…

Hope the above works

BEC=77, FAR=78, REG=73,74,80, AUD=70,69, 84 DONE!
