I think we need one of these threads to balance the universe. Enough of these people who thought they failed and passed.

@ImmoKnight Congrats on passing AUD. There is a difference between when you think you really failed and when you think you have a chance to pass. That was case with me on FAR. I was not sure but thought I had some chance and I passed with 79. I also thought I passed AUD but ended up with 72 due to weaker performance on SIMS. I re-took AUD exam in April 2016. This time I did better on simulations than last time. I hope to pass it this time.. Fingers crossed….

FAR 79
AUD 87
BEC 78

IMmo I was talking about people who consistently score in the 90's on the other parts of the CPA exam – not the 70-90's score crowd.

Track HA! Well, not ha, cause you failed, but because I bet that's the norm.

When it comes to retakes though, clearly you rock. What's the secret there?

[Track55]

Like you said, it was a retake. The 3 times I used only Gleim I failed. The 3 times I added Ninja MCQ I passed.

BEC was the odd man. It covers less material so I was able to complete both the Gleim course and all the MCQ's. But normally there is not enough time.

I have Gleim. I actually like their test bank. But as you point out, maybe it's a combination of the two that's best.

Gleim has 2600 questions for reg and I have around 5 weeks. That's about 100 a day for me which is a lot for me.

I was pretty sure that I failed FAR and REG at the first time because I didn't study much. I was very sure that I passed FAR, and I passed with an 82. For REG, I wasn't as confident as FAR and had doubt about REG, but I passed with an 86. For aud, I have a mixed feeling. I feel I am going to squeeze by and I def have a doubt about it. I came back home checked few answers and knew that I have at least two mcq are wrong, I am pretty confident with SIM. At this point, I don't even know my feeling, and we will see on Tuesday morning.

The test is very odd. There are countless posts here of people who were sure they failed but passed with 80+.

My second attempt at FAR I felt a whole lot better than my first take. I felt like I had a good shot at passing and got the worst score possible for your morale; 74.

FAR is only 3 days away and I am just burned out on this material.

BEC 11/29/14 77 (Roger)

When I took AUD the first time I really thought I had passed, only to be disappointed with the dreaded 74. Scheduled a retake 6 weeks later and ended up with 95!

BEC 2/24/2015 78
FAR 2/4/2016 88
AUD 5/5/2016 95

I'll kick it off for the May 24 release- thought I failed FAR and did- I knew as I was sitting there laughing at how horrible the SIMS were that I had already failed it… So no big shock when I checked the scores and there sat my 61….

and they ask me why I drink...

FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
BEC- 8/11
AUD- 9/2

Adding my BEC fail in the mix. I expected to fail (not bomb) and I did :(. If I can just pass one section the first time around it would be lovely. FAR would be my last chance at that.

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)
REG - 55 (2/16) 69 (5/16) Retake(8/16)
BEC - 71(5/16) Retake (9/16)
FAR - (8/16)

[Spartans92]

Well, Im with Mckan. Knew I fail and I DID. I went through the SIMS like I was staring at some foreign language. At this point dont know what to do.. thinking about restudying for FAR just makes me wanna cry.

BEC- PASS

[mckan514w]

OH NO Spartan!!!! I felt for sure you had passed 🙁 I'm sorry! keep me posted on your re-test and perhaps I will see you again in the FAR room…
