Question to the small # of Ninjas in this category with me. Do you think the AICPA has a profile of a borderline candidate? Do you think candidates from certain schools are failed intentionally? How many think that the odds seemed to be unfairly stacked against them?

I ask out of frustration, desparation, and anger. I cant prove but I swear to god the aicpa is personally screwing with me! Cant prove it bc the process is not transparent but my gut is never wrong.
They didnt let me pass from 10/13 until 4/16. I took 7 tests with scores from 60-70. Starting 4/16-10/16 passed with scores of 76,77, and 75. 12/16 60; 3/17 66; 5/17 73. How could i have “forgetten” how to study after passing 3 consequetive tests.

I understand a certain % of the know-it-alls and CPA Self Righteous will make their smug and smart ass comments about my preparation/lack of or poor study habits. I am holding up my left middle finger as I type specifically for them and their comments.

This question is more to the people that have struggled with test. I dont plan on quitting cause at this point its personal. But anybody out there thats passed ever felt how i an feeling? If you did how did you get over it?

@trele6 thanks for the suggestion. I think what I may end of doing is making a presentation deck out of my incorrect answers and try to qualify the miss as an error in logic, misread of question, or unfamiliarity with material.
How did you study SIMS?

I'll be honest, SIMs were not too big of a priority for me and I would mostly half ass them in the Becker software and then look at the correct answers. I'm a visual learner, so once they showed me how they did it, I can recall it pretty well. For me it was just figuring out or seeing the SIM formats and wrapping my head around what they wanted or how they presented it. Most SIMs if you really think about are just detailed MCQ's that you dont always get the answers to pick. I tried to treat them the same way.

I'll add that the Authoritative Literature saved me on the REG SIMS. I was able to use it to verify 3 of my SIMS were absolutely correct. Actually let me rephrase that, the AL allowed me to change my wrong answers for 3 SIMs to the correct answers. I found the answers pretty much verbatim so it was a big help and I believe my score reflects that some.

First go at the CPA! Only using Becker
