WOW!
I watched the video and it is very good! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am not quitting. I am just tired and it seems that only those who are taking the test today can relate. I work for 2 CPAs who took the exam several years ago and I feel as if they just don't get it. Also, my family, who loves me, hates to see me miss family functions and hates to see me get so upset when I did not pass another exam. Yes, I agree with you, I cannot thank Jeff enough for doing what he has done with this website. It is a place I can go to pour out my frustrations and someone else will totally understand what I am talking about!
I passed FAR the end of last year but had lost REG AND BEC. I felt I would go in and knock out REG in July (after tax season). I can't help from wondering if I was feeling a little too self assured that I had passed this exam before and I really wasn't fully prepared. When I left the exam I knew that I had not passed; matter of fact, I didn't even finish! I felt sooooooo defeated. So depressed. My Mom was saying, “Honey, maybe this is not for you.” Well, that did not make me feel much better. I want to be a CPA, I just want the exams to be done.
I will keep moving forward, but I have lost some of my drive and confidence. I try to push it out of my mind but I sometimes wonder will I ever be done? I also ask myself “How much longer can you continue to do this?”
Maybe after I pass REG I will have a better outlook.
Thanks again for your words of encouragement. I can see you have had your own share of struggles, which within reality are much more severe than mine. I will also look into the book that you recommend.
Thanks again and thanks to Jeff for all he has done to support all of us potential CPAs.
