Someone help me! I have been trying so hard and iv failed bec twice with the same score (68) and audit twice with a 58, 72 (so close) I am using Becker and I don’t know what to do next but I feel like I need to buy something else!

Have you tried using some of the ninja materials?

FAR 76 (8/1/2015)
AUD 83 (10/17/2015)
REG 85 (1/9/2016)
BEC 83 (2/27/2016) DONE!

My advice is to look into the NINJA Materials/Method. Also, just diversifying your study programs. I bought Wiley CPA Excel but haven't been able to pass using only that.

To pass REG I supplemented with Roger. To pass AUD I supplemented with NINJA. I'm studying for BEC now using Wiley CPA Excel and NINJA Notes & MCQs.

REG -73 (8/2015) 81 (10/2015)
AUD - 73 (11/2015) 84 (1/2016)
BEC - 84 (2/2016)
FAR - 77 (6/2016)

Ninja MCQ, Ninja MCQ, Ninja MCQ. There is no way I would have passed without it. Just hammer on the MCQ

AUD 93 Jan 16
BEC 83 Feb 16
FAR 83 Apr 16
REG 84 May 16

99% Ninja MCQ only

Do 4,000 MCQ's on Ninja , shoot for average and trending scores of 85 and you will pass.

CPA test is a crap shoot, it all matters on what test you get. If you put the time in and understand the material with a good average score, then there is nothing you can do but to keep testing at it. You will pass if you study hard and STAY AT IT.

AUD-77
BEC-70,73,68,74 SH##!!!!!, 80
REG-73,76
FAR -74,82

Ethics here I come!!

Biff-1955-Tannen and 6silvermoonbeams, is Ninja the only thing you used to pass?

I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.

Failed Reg for the third time: 64, 70, 67. I used a mix of Becker and NINJA MCQ. Is it true about scheduling test during certain times of a window? Assuming most tax professionals aren't going to be sitting for Reg in April or May, so maybe that could help?

@mdil92, are you saying that the exam is curved? I'm still fairly new to this, but I'm trying to understand if that is what you're saying. Please advise. This is important info if that is the case.

@KGREEN37 I don't know for a fact how the grading is done but colleagues of mine who have their CPAs have been telling me that certain windows have higher passing rates for certain tests based on the people sitting for the exams.

[lswang]

It's an absolute score, not curved in any way.

FAR | 81 - July 21 15
REG | 66 - Oct 1 15 | 87 - Jan 7 16
AUD | 90 - Oct 29 15
BEC | 86 - Nov 25 15

@KGREEN: For AUD and FAR, yes i used Ninja MCQ. I supplemented with their Notes and Audio. I began and ended in the Ninja test bank though. It took me two times but i did get it. I had used Wiley TB and CPA Excel on the other two tests. If you put in the time you will get it. For the tests that I passed, I went over the top and did 2,000-3,500 MCQ's.

[mdil92]

So would you say there's no difference between taking REG the first week of April during busy season compared to July or October?
