    Period anyone? lol..

    Nobody knows anything.. and you know better.

    Just relax and wait for score release, nothing you can do now after the exam.

    Move on and prepare for other exam.

    Materials: Wiley book + Ninja MCQ

    CPA uses Item Response Theory to calculate your score. If your questions are easy, you may need to answer 90% correct in order to get a pass. If you see difficult questions in your exam, you may only need to answer 60% correct in order to get a pass. So It may not be as bad as you think.

    Also there is a certain portion of questions that is not counted to your score. So you may answer all of them incorrectly and feel like shit, and turns out you get a 99 in the exam.

    I got a 95 in FAR but there is no way in hell I get 95% answer correctly. And I honestly was worry about fail like you do right now.

    REG 90
    FAR 95
    AUD 98
    BEC 84
