I took FAR in September and got a 74.

I took it again today (11/6).

I don’t think I’ve felt this disgusted in a decade. The TBS were SO difficult. I wanted to scream when I saw the line-up. And they just kept getting worse.

Like most people who study hard, I did really well on the MCQ. I got harder questions on the 2nd set and I still feel like I was able to crush most of it. Up to this point I was attacking this test like someone on their second attempt should. And then I got to the TBS…They were so difficult. I would say twice as bad as my first attempt — well, the regular research question is always relatively easy, but the rest…

I can’t really disclose what the TBS included, but it was pretty much every person’s least favorite topics on repeat. I wanted to throw the computer out the 6th story window.

For crushing the first half of the test the second half was really disheartening.

Scores are released in about 8 weeks so I’ll have time to forget how bad I feel…find renewed confidence that I did better than I thought I did… and then get a non-passing grade in time for the holidays.

Anyway, we all move on. I just wanted to share my disgust and anger at how the test can go with other people in hopes that if you felt that way then it must be normal. I wish everyone else the best of luck on their exams.

My TBS were nothing like Roger CPA review sims. There is a thread in here somewhere w/ AICPA guidance on what to study for and it was DEAD ON what I saw. I'll find that post and share it.
