For all those who have ever gotten a 74 on any section, post what your score was the next time you took the test, after the 74.

Same thing happened to me with REG. So Im interested to see the answers from this. FYI before my 74 I “earned” a 73…Gotta the transparency of the process with this exam

[Lentilcounter]

When I took audit (old format), I got a 73 the first time. I was stronger on all the MCQ but weaker on the SIMs. For my retest, I also took time to study and work through SIMs. This brought my SIMs up from a “Weaker” to “comparable” score.

What does your score report look like with a 74?

BEC = 72 (6/08/16)
FAR = ?
REG = ?
AUD = ?

Failed REG last year with a 74. Did 4000 more questions just to get a 75 LOL

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)
REG - 55 (2/16) 69 (5/16) Retake(8/16)
BEC - 71(5/16) Retake (9/16)
FAR - (8/16)

went from 68 to 74 to 79 for BEC. first time around I was weaker in a lot of the MC and comparable for the writing (at this time I did not know about NINJA or even the Test Bank for Wiley, so that is why I struggled so much with the multiple choice.). For the first retake, I was trying to squeeze in AUD and BEC before the exam changes in Q2 of 2017 so I only had 20 days to study for BEC. I hit the ninja MCQs hard and ended up with a 74. Due to the limited time frame, I did not really focus on the writing part and ended up being weaker in that which cost me that one point. For the final retake, I gave myself a month and a half ( I was able to do this becuase no matter when I took it in Q2, I still had to wait the same amount of time due to the score release delay.)

I changed to Ninja Book and Ninja MCQ and got 81 on my next try after I received 74 in AUD before.

AUD - 65, 72, 70, 74, 81
FAR - 66, 71, 76
REG - 69
BEC - 80

74 BEC, went right back into it and got a 75 using Roger. I don't care that I only increased 1 point cause I passed.

FAR - 10/3/16
BEC - 69 - 10/31/16
AUD - November 2016
REG - December 2016

73 BEC, 82 the second try.
74 AUD, waiting for my score on FEB 6th, hoping for a 75!

[GRAYBURN]

FAR 74, 75
FAR expired.
FAR 74 (kill me), 84.

Studied for 2 months and took BEC in 1/26/18 – LAST chance under the old format = 74
– Weaker MC and Comparable Written Communication

Studied for 2.5 months and took BEC under the new format on 05/31/18 = 74
– Stronger MC, Weaker SIMS, Weaker Written Communications (time mismanagement on my end)

Focused soo much time on FAR that only got to Study BEC for 1 week in December and took the exam 12/10/18. 77

See signature.

Time for me to join this club. I guess that is what I get for skipping practicing the sims. Oh well..lesson learned.

[cul-de-sac-]

My very first exam, AUD, got 74. Retook it the next testing window. Mastered COSO and IT. Passed it

[Anonymous]

Got 74 on FAR in February 2016 then it was my last exam in November 2017 (after a failed attempt to do in September 2017 because of Hurricane Irma) and got a 77.

@Clockwork This is embarrassing, but after getting a 74 on BEC, my next attempt resulted in a 75. BARELY slipped by. I thought I'd have done better than that, but I think I messed up some easy formatting in the writing section, and it nearly screwed me over!

In other cases, like REG, I made a 70 and then a 77. 7 point jump. Only that 1 point jump with BEC.

I got a 74 on REG, then went down to a 72 even though I felt better leaving the testing center about the test when I got the 72.

Then I got a 74 on AUD.. both were released on 12/21/2017. Christmas was fun.

Reg: 74, 79. Worst. Feeling. EVER.
