I’m taking REG on Monday and at this point I just feel like my head is going to burst into pieces…I’ve been reading, working MCQs, T & F, SIMS, and I just feel like I do not know anything….this thing is pretty intense…ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Going to church tomorrow morning so I will pray that on the questions you guess you would guess correctly 😉

Lol @apbandj…I am exactly the same. This is (hopefully) it for me, and it is making it hard to concentrate. I find my brain slipping into post CPA exam mode, and I don't want to do that. I had tons of motivation for FAR, my first exam, and I need to rechannel that for this last push.

You can see the drop I took from AUD to BEC, and that was on purpose, so i wasnt surprised and I'm not complaining…but if I take the same drop again, I'll fail REG.

When I saw my BEC score, I bought the Ninja audio for REG, and that is what I'm listening to now during my commute. It's really good for review.

FAR -- 90
AUD -- 95
BEC -- 82
REG -- 92

DONE!

@Kim4 – same thing happened to me with BEC! I felt I overstudied for AUD so I slacked off a bit and barely passed BEC. Luckily, I enjoy REG material more than BEC so it's been a little easier to study. Best of luck to you!!!

Took REG this morning and feel pretty terrible. There were so many questions I had no idea about. Just hope it was enough to pass. I felt that this exam was literally twice as hard as FAR.

AUD - 95
FAR - 92
REG - 79
BEC - 93 DONE!

For my last REG exam, one of the things I was upset about coming out of it was the fact that the areas Bisk and Becker (I looked over a friend's ‘must-know' list from his live Becker classes) said to REALLY KNOW, BARELY showed up on my exam. I was so prepped in the areas of X, Y and Z yet I had questions all over the place, lots of randoms and really no cluster of concentration on these “need to know” areas. Especially my simulations!! So this time around I've been sure to try and touch on everything, even things I think have no shot of being tested. Anyone else feel this way?

REG - 65, 70, 80!
BEC - 35, 62, 79!
AUD - 73, 75!
FAR - 65, 73, 70, 75! DONE.

I just took REG yesterday for the 3rd time! It was so frustrating. I felt so prepared. I was scoring in the 80s and 90s on all of my MCQ's. I felt like I knew stuff for this exam that I did not know existed when I took the other exams. Unfortunately, I think I flunked again! I would not be surprised if I did worse than the other two times I took the exam. I felt like they asked about the most obscure details. The thing that is so weird is this is actually my favorite subject to study for and I just can't seem to pass it. Good luck to everyone else who is going to take it this month! Study hard and know everything!

AUD 74, 83
FAR 75
REG 71, 71, 70, 86!!!!!! 🙂
BEC 85

@Mitzie7

Never underestimate your performance with your test… Who know? You might end up with a passing grade!

Think always positive…

As CPA Peanuts says: “You got this”

B - 62, 70, 72, 79!!!
A - 68, 81
R - 70, 82
F - 84

Taking it on Tuesday. Hoping that the score gets sent in prior to the deadline to be released on Aug 22 so I don't have to wait forever. So much information and definitely not looking forward to it, given everyone else's comments about how brutal it is. Good luck to everyone else!

AUD - 5/30/12 - 95
FAR - 7/03/12 - 83
BEC - 7/20/12 - 83
REG - 8/14/12 - 79

How much time should I allocate for each testlet and sims?

[Anonymous]

@dualmatrix – Even though SIM's are worth only 40%, allocate atleast 50% of your exam time for REG SIM's. You will need that.

Took REG yesterday for the third time. It definitely felt like the best go for me. My sims were not as insane, as I felt they were my previous two tests. And something else cool? I got the same EXACT research question as I did on my April test. Obviously I didn't remember the answer off the top of my head but I only used about a minute to find it.

The only qualm I am having is the thought that my MCQ testlets didn't seem to get noticeably harder. Second set was SLIGHTLY more difficult, and I definitely spent the most time on that one out of the 3, but nothing where I was like, “whoa”

I got to my Sims with 1 hr, 25 mins left.

REG - 65, 70, 80!
BEC - 35, 62, 79!
AUD - 73, 75!
FAR - 65, 73, 70, 75! DONE.
