I dont know how to take the score on this thing. I received comparable on 4 content areas of the MCQs and Stronger on Financial Management and Information systems. The only part I got weaker on was the WC and I still got a 70. I guess the WC is weighted heavier than people think. Im not sure what to do about the written communication. I guess I just need to get faster at the MCQs so I have more time on for WC. So discouraging.

@MaLoTu, it's okay! Do you know why you failed it next time? is it because of lack of study or the material wasn't enough? you use Becker right?

My Nick name is sunshine, but the fact is I have not been in touch with it since I started this CPA exam! IT HURTS

AUD - ✔ Passed Becker self study!
BEC - ✔ Passed Becker self study!
FAR - ✔ Passed Becker self study!
REG - TBD

[MaLoTu]

No, I have done the same study for all my exams. I passed REG on the first try and AUD on the second. I really don't know because I felt very comfortable with the material. last 2 times I took BEC I got stronger on writing, this time I got comparable … it is like the bar keeps moving.
Yes, I use Becker.

FAR: 63, 55, 62
REG: 65, 77*

@MaLoTu, I see good luck anyway! just one more question: where do you get such an evaluation of your performance? right after you complete the test?

@golfball … I tried the NINJA MCQ, but I didn't know how to get them in any specific area … so I went back to becker feeling totally freaked out because I did so bad on NINJA. I didn't feel that I could work on troubled areas and I didn't have much time. I will probably work more with NINJA next time.

@sunshine – you get the performance evaluation with your results. In CA you get the report whether you pass or fail, but it varies by state. Some people wait a few days after score release to receive their reports.

Click Custom settings to pick categories. It also allows you to pick MCQ's missed last time or new questions, etc.

On the Dashboard, it shows how you are doing in the major categories. Right now, for example, mine say 82 percent so far on Corporate Governance but only 57 percent on Econ

FAR: 63, 55, 62
REG: 65, 77*
AUD: Fail, 64, 71
BEC: 72, 74, 81

Thanks, golfball. I did not have a lot of time to mess with it and it was doing more harm than good at that point! I am only going to go over Becker chapters 2 and 3 next time and then just do NINJA MCQ for like 2-3 weeks and see how that goes.

Do you guys know whether colorado state announce the results faster than normal?

Is it a NASBA state? If it is NASBA you will have to wait a few days after the score released to get your report and only if you fail. If you pass you don't get a score report with NASBA.

[lolo]

yes it is a state with Nasba! but what If I pass then where do I get score from?

BEC is the worst one! Don't underestimate it!!

[monikernc]

BEC is tough – i thought i could do it in 8 weeks and extended to almost 12 so everything would stick. the exam was tricky. i have never gotten a score report but when the fail rate on this exam is around 47% i think comparable puts you at a 53/47 chance of passing. you have to be stronger in areas to get into the pass zone. while studying for it i kept saying i was the turtle because for me slow and steady won that race. the review mcq's are hard because to pass you have to understand the entire concept to get the correct exam answer. so struggle through the review materials and don't get discouraged. let the information in. repetition did it for me.

FAR 7/25/15 76!
AUD 10/30/15 93
BEC 2/27/16 82
REG 5/23/16 88!
Ninja Book and MCQ and the forum - all the way!!!
and a little thing i like to call, time and effort!
if you want things to change, you have to do something different
