    Do you guys know if some states grade different than others? Could it be that they curved differently? I have read probably 20 or more posts from individuals who don’t perform well during HW sections during their review, and even 2 weeks before the actual exam. Most of them claimed to have forgotten the material from first chapters but then the exam day comes about and they get higher than a 75. I have taken FAR twice and I got a 71 the last time I took it, my problem is that I get above 85 in everything and even on Becker’s final exam , I was able to get an 80%. I can’t believe almost every single person who scores above a 70 on Becker’s final exams have been able to pass the actual exam. I’m the only one who scored an 80 and then a 71% on the actual exam. For the just explained, Im beginning to think that some states curve differently than others. Back in 2007 when the MC part of the exam was worth 70% of the total grade, I passed FAR,REG, and got a 74 in Audit all on my first try. I took the exams back then in the state of Virginia. What do you guys think? Anyone from Colorado>?

    WTB is not that great anymore in my opinion. I used it for all of my exams and then they changed the software for my last test (AUD), which i did not like very much. @Gian you may need to add in other test banks. For FAR, REG, BEC, I used WTB and cpareviewforfree and then someone sent me some more questions by Lambers for BEC. For AUD, I used Ninja MCQ, WTB, and CPAreviewforfree. More test banks mean the questions are being presented to you differently, so it does a better job of testing your understanding.

    FAR - 93
    REG - 87
    BEC - 84!!!!
    AUD - 99!!!!!! CPA exam complete.
