@bitchycpacandidate

I will say that it seems like the AL is harder to navigate with REG compared to the others… why is that.

FAR - 88 (Jul 2012)
AUD - 85 (Oct 2012)
BEC - 82 (Nov 2012)
REG - 92 (Jan 2013) DONE!

I'm going to play around with Chapter 1 (self-study Becker; flash cards; Ninja audio) for the rest of this week as I just got the news about the FAR pass score.

However, I think I'm going to make this Monday my “official” start date which will leave me about 10 Sundays before the last week of February. Goal is to finish Chapter 8 with at least 2 weeks leftover for massive review session before exam.

I hope to God this isn't as awful as FAR.

FAR: 50, 76!
REG: 74... (ouch baby, very ouch), 76!
AUD: 65, 91!?
BEC: 80! Aaaand doneskies!

May 2012 to August 2013. Can't believe it's over.

Well hello everyone! Just made the decision today to go after my last section. I was going to take a break until after tax season since I surpassed my original goal of 50% complete by tax season (at 75% complete now), but I'm just so close I can taste it. My wife agreed the thought of potentially being done in 8 weeks is just too hard to pass up even if it means sacrificing some holiday fun.

My motivation is at an all time high, which is a good way to start considering the lows we all experience during these grinds.

REG… I'm coming for ya'

FAR - 81 (8/31/12)
AUD - 93 (10/19/12)
BEC - 79 (11/27/12)
REG - 92 (2/8/13) DONE! All 1st attempt!

[neika822]

I've taken the past 2 years off from the CPA exam since I was not taking it seriously before. I hope to begin studying right after Christmas with the intention of taking the exam at the end of February. I've always been terrible at taxation. I can understand it as I read, but fail at the execution. I just can't *grasp* it. REG was the one section I never studied before. I couldn't imagine jumping into FAR first.

I've got a better job now with more time available. Now's the time to get it done!

R - *77*(02/'13)-Becker & NINJA
A - 71('11); *87*(04/'13)-Becker & NINJA
F - *76*(08/'13)-Becker & NINJA - "server upgrade" survivor
B - 60('11); *82*(10/'13) -Becker & NINA

DONE, DONE, AND DONE.

I am back for my third attempt at REG. My first attempt I used Becker and scored a 67, my second attempt I added NINJA everything halfway through and scored a 68. This time I am going all Wiley/NINJA and am hoping to slay this beast. I am just getting things organized right now as I just received my passing BEC score this afternoon. I am starting with some all topic 24 question testlets to measure my ability before I jump into the first module in my brand new 2013 Wiley REG book.

BEC:76
AUD:77 (expired), 73, REMATCH 5/19/14, PENDING SCORE RELEASE.
REG:71,68,59,75
FAR:62, 59, 62, 78

Started studying this past Monday and registered for January 15th. This will be my first attempt at a CPA exam — hopefully that's a reasonable time frame.

I'm doing REG first because I hate tax. The classes were rough on me big time. Hopefully I can get it out of the way and never think about tax again

It's Day 3 and I'm wrapping up R1 (Becker) — so far so good I suppose. I'm getting ~85% of the MCs right and ~80% of the SIMs. I have no idea how that translates to test day success but here's to hoping.

@mypetmeatball – (great handle by the way haha)

Are you studying full time or working as well?

[mypetmeatball]

Thanks mang. I'm on winter break from my MAC right now so studying is pretty much all I'm doing. I don't start full-time work until September 2013 and I'm really hoping to get it all done by then.

[HelloREGmyoldfriend]

Hey everybody. I'm with ya for the misery that is this section (to me at least). I was hoping to be done by Christmas, but at least I know my enemy now. I'm using Roger again, hopefully not to set his kill percentage back more than I already have. It took me from nowhere close to passing to within two points, so I figure it's good for another two points eventually.

Anyway, based on my experience, if you can pass this section, you should be golden on the others. AUD and BEC both seemed way easier, and FAR is as well, I think, although I'm kind of surprised now that I passed it the first time. Good luck!

FAR - 76 (1/12)
AUD - 76 (5/12)
BEC - 82 (11/12)
REG - 59, 73, 73, 78! (4/12, 8/12, 10/12, 2/13)

Wiley test bank on everything, Roger USB+book on REG after first attempt.

Using Becker Self Study 2012

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone!

I will be taking REG for the first time on February 2013. I have the 2012 Becker Self-Study material; however I'm wondering if I should switch to the 2013 edition since that's when I'll be taking the exam.

Please advise!

Thanks & happy studying! >_<
