What a weird feeling

    I’m having a hard time articulating exactly how I feel tonight. Today I took Audit for the fifth time, it could possibly be my last test. We study so hard, with the test being a huge goal, but it’s anti-climactic, if you will. The test is over, but I can’t feel relieved because I won’t know if I passed for two more weeks. I don’t want to be optimistic because I don’t want to jinx myself, but I don’t believe in jinxes either. The test is so ambiguous you can’t really get a read on pass or no pass. I think stoicism is my best bet. Two weeks, Super Bowl Sunday with too much tequila, then hopefully a passing score on Monday! I’m just so ready to not have to study any more.

    Well congratulations (MAYBE.. haha) .. As someone that put in 5-6 hours today and taking my first exam next month I long for the day I can post a thread like this. The one thing I've discovered about the CPA exam is the exact “anti-climactic” you speak of. We put in so much work for that CPA designation at the day that it finally happens as we throw ourselves an internal party the fact of the matter is that not a whole lot of people really care any more than to give you a small “congratulations” maybe if you're lucky.

    With all that said, enjoy your next two weeks and live like a free (wo)man. If the day after the Super Bowl comes and you find out you made under a 75, well… just cross that bridge when you get to it.

    For those of you that got low 70s on the AUD exam, were you surprised by your scores? In other words, were you expecting to fail or it could've gone either way?

    Expected it to be either way. First time i tested audit i was convinced i would pass with like 10% or so feeling of failing.Second time i was sure i failed but yet thought i might pass and third time either way coz of sims.

    Gauging result for audit is no one's business yet i have seen some ppl who get It right though.

    Like u cant compare apples and oranges,each exam experience is totally different .

    Good Luck

    I have the same feeling. My last one is reg, and I took it on the 10th. In the past I'd just move on to the next one, and that would distract me. My score just came when it came. Now, I'm counting down the days. I even had a dream last night that I got a failing score. Woke up sweating. I think it's time for a vacation.
