congrats to all. I remember scoring an 87 on AUD and feeling pumped. Then scored a 78 on BEC, brushed the lower score off due to taking during public accounting busy season.

Got my REG score back yesterday as well. Scored a 69, so I'll be retaking it. I had a feeling that it didn't go as well. Oh well, planning to retake it mid-October.

Waiting to see my score report on my state board's website.

I scored a 78 on AUD, a 88 on REG, and then this 82 on my second BEC attempt.

Personally, I don't consider any score "low" if it's passing.

That sucks man, but that isn't a terrible score. You'll get it next time!

REG was a pain in the arse. It was the only exam where I had to actually read all of the chapters in the Wiley Book word for word.

This how I felt when I passed all 4 parts last year. After each section I was 100% confident I passed and I was right. Becker made the CPA exam very easy. I know it's very expensive but it's definitely worth it IMO. However I say that without paying a dime because big 4 pays for it all.

Good luck to all those studying

Kicking it into high gear, gotta love consistently hitting 60% on overall MCQs when you still have 85% of your review program to go through.

Just keep doing practice questions. Knock out FAR first.

Starting with FAR and just getting ahold of a routine. I tried read the chapters first then doing problems. It's easier to soak in info after doing questions though.

Has anyone taken the ACIPA Ethics exam? I bought the online version and was wondering if I am required to watch all of the modules and answer all of the case study questions and practice questions before I take the exam? I was hoping to skip all of the videos and go straight to the exam.

I've been embarrassed on my lack of progress honestly. I've been getting promoted so often that I've had issues trying to study and learn new duties all at the same time.

So Far 2 and Far 3 are the toughest with Becker?

I'm studying Audit as well. I'm making progress but I really just want to get through all the AUD study materials once. I think things will start to click more once I review and hit the test bank.

I'm using Wiley.

Bump

Anyone trying to fit an exam in before Thanksgiving? I take AUD the first week of Nov. Will be hitting the test bank after this weekend.

Sure, and I will take the exam for you if you pay me $100.

I took it last week and got a 98%.

It feels so good to finally be done with all of the exams.
