This one should instill some excitement. My boss has always acted insecure and jealous of my success. Today I finally informed him that I had passed two of my exams so far, with a 91 and a 89–both of which I am very proud of receiving. He (in front a colleague) immediately went into a rampage about how the exams are far easier than they used to be since the nation needs more CPAs, and therefore the AICPA makes the exams easier so more people can pass. He took his exams around 2006–he may have forgotten that he already told me that he had failed one of the exams and didn’t perform so well on the others. (By 2006 the exam had already changed from having to take the entire exam at once to being able to take the sections at different times, so he didn’t experience the marathon paper and pencil days.)

So, is the exam really easier than it used to be? I haven’t looked into statistics concerning pass rates and the number of test takers each year.

AUD - 89
BEC - 91
FAR - 79
REG - 85

My manager likes to poke fun at me and says that the Chartered Accountant exam she took in her country is harder than the CPA exam, and thus, she is not required to take the CPA exam since she’s already “proved” to be an accountant in her native country. Mentally I’m like “yeah, whatever, just have your boss sign off on my experience”. Lol

AUD - 78
BEC - 84
FAR - 79
REG - 85

Anyone who passes the current CPA exam is a rockstar in my book! I've only studied for BEC/AUD/FAR so far, and each time I have started out thinking, “Wow… how on earth am I going to pass this??” Slowly but surely it comes together. Best of luck to those of you who are just one exam away from passing…… and for the people who have already gotten their CPA, YOU EARNED IT!!

AUD - 89
BEC - 91
FAR - 79

I'll just sleep with his wife.

When he finds out and asks me why, I'll reply with “you said the exam was easier but so was your wife”. ☺️👍
