    Hey guy,

    I passed 3/4 exams ….then got my butt handed to me again by FAR in the new version. Got a state extension and re-testted…and failed again.

    Now I’ve lost Reg & Bec. And Audit expires in July.

    I am soooooo annoyed with this delayed release nonsense. The exam is blatently harder for no reason than it was last year. It makes things unfair.

    Any how- In september I left the CPA I worked for and started my own Niche online firm. I also took a F/T outsourced CFO position w a local company for 9 months to clean up all this books. Well my business is growing faster than expected so I’m Insanely busy between the two.

    I am scheduled to take FAR on March 10th and Reg in May….I was trying to raly and re-take and get these 3 done before I lose Audit also.

    But now part of me is considering just walking away from it all together, focusing on my company, and then starting from scratch with testing next year or whenever the exam gets finalized and score releass and stuff to back to normal.

    Any input?

    Is there any other risk with this? Does your experience or credit requirements have a time limit associated with them?

    Thanks for listening to my rant.

    REG- Passed
    BEC- Passed
    AUD -Failed - Retake in October
    FAR- Scheduled 8/1/2016

    You could do it! Pressure makes us better. You have five months to pass 3 tests. It's doable, focus. Don't sleep, get up early, study during lunch, take it seriously.

    I would say go for it because you won't ever have enough time to prepare/study for it – something will always keep you busy. My first attempt was 2 years ago – major layoffs at work didn't let me prepare for the exam. I gave up, decided its not worth my time… but here I am… studying to take it yet again. And guess what, I am facing the same issue again… 2 team members gone. But this time I am just going to do it! And so should you!

    Why not, you will always be haunted by “I should have kept going”. Of course we don't know the future, but you can pass. It's aggravating and cost a pretty penny, but don't pass up the opportunity to get it done. A Toast To Blood, Sweat, and Tears!!
