Just curious because i see peoples scores after posts and mostly all have passing scores. Dont know if its their first try or not. so feel free to post how many tries it took to pass all 4 section. Just for motivation.

One try per section.

1 tries AUD
2 tries FAR
3 tries BEC
4 tries REG

Didn't lose a section – barely. If I'd not passed REG in January, I'd have lost AUD and FAR.

I passed all but Audit on the first try, was snake-bitten with a 74. Knocked it out on my next try with a 77.

@Tony, I feel for you man, don't give up though, you can finish it out.

First go at the CPA! Only using Becker
Reg / Nov 2015 - 87
Far / Apr 2016 - 79
Bec / May 2016 - 80
Aud / Aug 2016

I made my first attempt at this in 2006-2007, then made another brief attempt in 2013-2014 before finally getting it done in 2016-2017.

2006-2007:
BEC – took once, scored 81
REG – took twice, scored 64, 68
FAR – took twice, scored 69, 73

I got pregnant with my daughter 2 months after the 73 in FAR and decided to put my CPA aspirations on hold.

2013-2014:
REG: took twice, scored 70, 63
Work life became extraordinarily busy and I put CPA aspiration so on hold again to spend time with that.

2016-2017:
REG: took twice, 61, 82
BEC: took once, 81
FAR: took twice, 71, 81
AUD: took once, 77

My experiences can be summed up like this: 13 tests over a 10 year, 2 month period. Of those 13, I've passed 5 and failed 8. REG was my biggest struggle, followed by FAR. I'm one of those lucky people who founded BEC easy. Not sure if this is a lesson in perseverance or a warning of some kind about not fully committing. Hopefully it inspires anyone who is thinking about quitting to keep trying. You may end up taking REG 6 times and FAR four times, but you CAN pass as long as you don't give up.
