@jpowell31 sorry that you failed. This was a retake for me but I treated it like the first time. I passed it back Nov 2014 and with my multiple AUD failures I had forgotten most of it.

I started by re-watching all my all my Becker videos and took notes. I also re-wrote the ninja notes. I then did all the ninja MCQs section by section until I did all the questions. While doing the MCQ I made a cheat sheet from the multiple with little details from the MCQs that were either new to me or I had trouble remembering. The little details are so important.

In the final week and half I would just focus on my reading notes and doing sets of 30 questions from Ninja.

All the best in your re-take, you can do this.

Passed FAR – 84 using Roger and NINJA MCQ.

Wish you all good luck

CA here.

81 on FAR! First exam, first attempt. Hopefully the trend continues, taking BEC October 10. Though BEC is actually feeling a bit harder than I was anticipating.

Honestly walked out of the exam thinking it wasn't as hard as expected, didn't really think the mcq got much harder as I went on and felt like I did okay but didn't want to be over confident. Especially when it seems the trend is if you think you fail you pass and vice versa.

@sriS- Congratulations on your new baby! I'm sorry to hear that you didn't pass. One month is enough for a retake. I did it in 3.5 weeks and went from a 73 to an 81 for AUD. Ditch the videos and read the book and do as many mcq's as possible.

Congrats to everyone who passed! Hopefully I'll have some good news when I get home, but it looks like BEC is going to torture me a little longer!

83 on my first REG attempt. I think I had about 2-3 nightmares about the REG sims while waiting for my score because I thought I did so poorly on them. Half way done!

I took BEC on Aug. 27th and my score was available when I checked early this morning. Luckily for me, I passed w/ an 87. I found it a tough exam and did not feel great about it after walking out of Prometric that day.

Is there a performance report that you get with your score? I don't see anything in my account.

Good luck to all!

Passed FAR on first attempt! 89. I was sure I was retaking. Crazy..

Question for those in California. I tried to begin the process of scheduling my next exam, but CBA says I need to pay the $50 application fee again. Has anyone done this? How long does this take??? The first time around it took 8 weeks. I was so happy and this is a complete buzzkill. I really wanted to sit for AUD in Oct.

[c1oth]

@sr congratulations

did you feel like they were questions you got wrong after you took the test, or it was just though?

[pharaoh]

@CPYay – Congrats on passing FAR. I had the same feeling that I am going to retake it because the exam was brutal.

For Cali, Yes, you have to submit an application for each time you take a part. I would say it took couple of weeks. As far as I remember that after the application is approved you select the part you want to take and pay for it. What I did last time is I picked 2 parts (FAR & AUD) so I don't have to go through the application process too many times. But it was a little expensive paying for 2 parts.

I just started studying for AUD too but I have limited time each day so I will schedule it in the last possible Saturday in Q4, I think it is December 10th.

Good luck

@ThePharaoh

Congrats to you too! I used the exact same study material as you. I'm really happy with the outcome.

Thank you for the info. That's such a ridiculous and lengthy process.

My original plan was AUD mid Oct, REG end of Nov, BEC first week of Jan. That would give me end of Jan and all of Feb for retakes… BUT .. given the amount of time I have to apply and wait between exams, it looks like this is unrealistic. I have a family and work full time, so I wanted to knock these out quickly to avoid dragging my family along for over a year. Plus I don't want to deal with the Apr changes haha.

I'm sure we'll be chatting a bit on here as we study the same sections. Good luck to you too!

84 on Far and I am beyond shocked. Testlets went med/hard/med , but I didn't know how to do any of the task based simulations other than the research question. Three were calculation based in the sense that putting 0's in would give me no credit, so I know I got nothing from those. The other three I walked out thinking I couldn't have got more than 30% correct on any. Also didn't have any JE sims which always seemed easier to me. Guessing I must have done very well on the MC.
