67, 69, 73, 74, 74……………..69

Had I passed I’d be done right now but I now have to take AUD a 7th time and retake FAR.

I went into this last attempt feeling more confident than the previous attempts and left the exam feeling less shitty than previous attempts. I don’t fu*king get it. How the fu*k do I get one point away, twice, and then revert to a 69?

Do I have to pay someone off? Do I have to blow someone? Am I unknowingly part of a psychological study to see how far the AICPA/NASBA can push a human being before they take a bath with a plugged in toaster?

FAR: 66, 75
AUD: 67, 69, 70, 74, 74
REG: 71, 79
BEC: 73

I was really rooting for you Tony, so sorry to hear about the loss. I received my BEC score and failed which means I've failed BEC and FAR. I only have credit for REG (3rd attempt) which expires August 2017.

I really don't understand how these exams are scored. I felt like I failed REG but passed. I felt like I failed FAR and failed (62). I felt ok with BEC and failed (64). All I can say is, hang in there, you are soooo close! YOU CAN DO THIS

REG: 69, 73, 80!
FAR: 62
BEC: TBD
AUD: TBD

I was rooting for you as well! this thing is more of a mind-game mental strength test than anything!!! I failed REG too…it was expected after how I felt walking out but I felt so prepared it's hard to tell where to start again. we're all in this too deep to give up now. drinks tonight (or at lunch) and we'll think about this tomorrow, shall we?

@Tony don't be discouraged, my story may help you a bit. I am an international candidate and I started my journey in August 2014 I managed to pass REG, FAR & BEC by July 2015.

Since then I took AUD 4 times and I didn't pass it until my 4th try in July of this year, which meant I lost my REG credit. Each time I had to sit the exam I have to organize airline travel as well as obtain time off from work which was not easy.

I did AUD in the 2nd week of July which would only leave me with 5 weeks to re-do REG because my FAR would expire on August 31. I would have forgotten most of REG because we practice a different tax system in my country and our laws are a little different. I got so worried and nervous because after failing AUD so many times and my FAR credit on the line.

As I checked my REG score this morning at 1:30AM my heart was pounding. I could not believe the grade I saw because I kept telling myself that the 5 weeks I gave REG was not enough.

Don't give up and all the best as you continue to take on this beast of an exam.

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone.

Like a silly fu*kin goose i planned a “post-divorce” party for tomorrow not realizing it was right after score release. I can't let all that booze and the bounce house go to waste so the party will go on but twice as much whiskey.

I'll post pic in this thread on Monday to demonstrate how to get over a big failure as quick as possible…for educational purposes.

…are we allowed to share our instagram names on here? I hate reading so i don't feel like checking the rules.

FAR: 66, 75
AUD: 67, 69, 70, 74, 74
REG: 71, 79
BEC: 73

Bouncy house! Sounds like the best worst day ever.

Head up bro! Like Maya Angelo said “you may encounter defeats but you must not be defeated”

After your bad@$$ party, you'll be ready to go balls deep into study, hit the books and you'll be done in no time. You'll be walking out of your next exam saying “crushed it” 🙂

@Tony. Sorry to hear that bro. I think you really need to revisit your study method. Seems like you need to change your game plan. It is clearly not working. See your score card and then devise a new plan.

FAR 79
AUD 87
BEC 78
REG 08/31/2016
