Did you end up with a passing score or a failure. Did your feelings match your score or did you under/over estimate your performance.
So when I took REG in August I was positive I failed to the point I thought I’d score in the 60s there was just to much I was unsure of in my eyes.
When I took FAR in October I came out conflicted. I was happy that nothing suprised me but I just felt like I didn’t manage my time well I ended up with 20 extra mins that I really needed during the MCQs that I struggled through and rushed because I was just using to much time.
Yesterday after BEC I fell awesome. Nothing suprised me, I felt like a lot of it I knew cold with very little hesitation or guessing. I was also preforming well on the material in my review course.
What do you think? My feeling were wrong on REG, hopefully there right on the next to.
How’d it go for you?

I felt really pleased, though not completely confident, coming out of FAR. I also ended with 20 minutes and did not find it that hard, which also could mean I was way way off… I really hope I passed and believe that either way I'll be hovering somewhere in the 70s. Fingers crossed for Dec 19. Good luck to you as well! Sounds like you nailed it to me.

The only one I felt confident in was my Q2 attempt at BEC where I got my second consecutive 74. Hoping for better results this quarter on score release. My advice is to not dwell on it, there is no way to know until score release day. “it is what it is”

This happened to me after AUD in Q3, thought the exam was on the easy side, nothing caught me offguard or anything, finished the exam an hour and a half early. Shocked when I got a 62. Thought for sure that I passed. Oh well.

I feel like those are the hard ones to bounce back from, it's not like I have a list of weaker areas I need to focus on. Every other exam I still have mental notes of all the stuff I had trouble with, for AUD I have nothing.

I have walked out of all of my exams with a feeling of optimistic that I passed but not not shocked if I didn't. I mean I never walked out of one and felt like I got kicked in the nuts but I've definitely walked out thinking of the items I know I was not sure about.

FAR was the only exam where I felt I passed after the exam (and I did).

my experience:
bec – would have bet my life I failed (78)
far – thought I did enough to pass but not sure on all 3 occasions (73, 73, 73)
reg – knew I failed (63), knew I passed (77)
audit – knew I passed (75)

Took 4 parts.

Thought I passed AUD with flying colors. Got a 76
Thought I passed BEC. Got a 76
Thought I cut it close with REG. Got an 84
Thought I passed FAR. Got a 74.

So I am 1 for 4 on how I feel vs how I did.

Thought passed BEC ,passed with 80.
Thought Passed Tax with above 85 ,got 78.
Thought failed AUD with 70-74 but not 75 ,got 79.
FAR thought passed in Q1 , got 68 ,second time expected fail and failed ,Q3 expected pass but no luck.

I hate to say it but every time I walked out feeling like I passed, I would end up failing. Thought I breezed through AUD and REG the first times I took them and ended up with a 71 and 74. The times I felt the exam was really difficult and felt like I wasnt getting many questions right were the times I passed. That is just my experience though, everybody is different and if you feel good about it, well then maybe you did good! Good luck!

@TommyTheCat How in the world do you get a 97 in REG????!!!!

I took REG today and feel DEAD. It killed me, demoralized me, depressed me and I honestly feel I bombed it! Worst thing is, this is a retake. I had taken it and gotten a 72. I felt prepared to take it again, but it took me by surprise to be struggling with it from the beginning to the end. I do not know what I did wrong nor what I could have done differently to have helped me pass. I'm confused at this moment on how to handle it. The official result is not out, of course, but I'm not very hopeful. Any advice?

AUD: 83 (Aug. 2015)
FAR: 78 (Nov. 2015)
REG: TBA
BEC: TBA

I took AUD recently and felt great about the MCQs, but so so on the testlets

I took FAR in July and thought I would fail. The MCQs were fine but the testlets were hard, but I passed with a 76 and was really happy.

I was hoping to get in the high 80s on AUD, but I will settle with a passing score.

@Kay, What did you use to study for BEC? I'm taking it on Saturday and I'm using Becker.

[TommyTheCat]

@mfbc – reg is a lot of material to cover. I have specialized in tax for about 11 years now and I am certain my score is in large part because of that. How would you describe your learning style?

[Kodiak]

I've never felt like I nailed an exam. I've always left feeling like I wouldn't be shocked if I failed. :/

[Anonymous]

always felt unsure, and the more time went on, the more I convinced myself I failed…. I usually set myself up to think I failed, this way, in case I did, at least I am prepared emotionally:)
