Hi Ninjas,

I have questions on whether to take the CPA exam in total since I got my BEC 73, 74, FAR: 67,74, AUD: 70, and REG: 71. The past year has been a real torture. I used Becker for materials studying and MCQs and NINJA AUD, FAR, and BEC and I am at about 50-70% pass rate. I kinda don’t know whether to continue to take CPA since I am working in Risk Advisory at Big 4. Or I am not suitable for this. Or I may not know if i have a wrong way of studying?

If you keep studying for the CPA exam, you should change it up a little.

Ninja is pretty accurate on the scores: If you aren't passing on Ninja with 75%+ avg & trending with sets of 30 (new questions only), then you need to keep taking notes from the MCQ that you are missing. Honestly, it's okay to memorize answers as long as you know why they're right. Good luck.

FAR 72, 89
BEC 80
REG 90
AUD 79

Becker and Ninja isn't working for you. Get a different review course, change up your study strategy, work on your weak areas, focus on 2 sections in 1 testing window MAX. if you started w BEC, don't study/schedule for the next 3 if you haven't passed it.

BEC - 75 (3x)
AUD - 78 (3x)
REG - 67, 66, Aug 1
FAR - 54, Sept 8

@Claudia408 Thanks! I kinda not know how I did this wrong. Is there anyway I can find how can I make this right?

Different people have different learning styles, so it's hard to say what to do differently to increase your scores.

One thing I will say is if you're getting 50% to 70% on practice tests, I think that's a sign you're not ready yet.

Pharmboy is right. Scoring 50-70 is a good indicator you are not ready. But I see you've taken all 4 sections already. Try to focus on scoring 80+ consistently one section at a time then take the test. Looks like u tried to cram all 4 without having completed the others and it's just too much info! I'd restudy the latest exam you took and then start fresh with the others focusing one at a time, one section at a quarter of needed.

BEC - 75 (3x)
AUD - 78 (3x)
REG - 67, 66, Aug 1
FAR - 54, Sept 8
