Hi everyone, congrats to everyone who passed! 🙂

I am so sorry I don’t mean to complain, but I am really bummed I got a 65 on Reg.I thought i studied really hard in my opinion, and i took my exam on March 10, my score report says i did stronger on ethics,comparable on bus law, fed tax process, and tax on entities, and weaker on prop transactions, and tax on individuals(i don’t why, i just felt the need to add this). and i just looked today and i see my NTS with REG and AUD is expiring on April 10(off from work for next few weeks). and also my NTS for BEC and FAR is expiring July 27, i was super motivated at the beg of this year and thought i could knock it all out by July. but I am super de-motivated right now and don’t get how I am suppose to organize all the studying. can someone please help me. i am off from work for two weeks. thank you, appreciate it!

Its awful to fail but most of us do at least once or twice during this process. You can't use the same NTS for Reg again so just focus on AUD as best you can for April 10. Don't get a new NTS for REG until after you've taken REG and FAR, better not to have the clock ticking on an NTS while you've got others going.

Well you can't use your NTS for REG again anyway.

My advice: take REG again and eat the loss on another one of your NTS.. life happens.

Scenario A:
1. Take REG in April 1*???
2. 10 days for AUD***April 10 (it is possible but kind of pushing it).
3. May: BEC
4. June/JULY: FAR

Scenario B:
1. Take REG end of April (after new NTS)- eat the loss of AUD and reapply for that one later.
2. BEC: May
3. FAR: JUNE/July
4. Aud: Aug*

or Scenario C:
If you want to keep the rest of your NTS.
1. Take Aud as soon as possible: Begin April (no more than 1 month studying)
2. Take BEC End of April or beginning May* (no more than one month of studying)
3. Take FAR in July (or end of May if you want to push it).

I'd say you've already studied for REG so and you did semi-decently so it honestly would really be a waste of the time/effort cost if you choose to go back to it, but it's up to you.

Keep grinding, nothing great comes easy.

I wouldn't focus too much on the report, continue grinding out MCQ and the trending score analysis will help you in your weak areas.

Try and get into the 80s – the trending score is a good indication of your exam results.

REG - 10/27/2012
BEC - JAN
AUD - TBA
FAR - TBA
