Well, I have no idea... Of the 72 MCQ's, I would say about 15 involved any math. Some of the theory was obscure. The writing section was "easy". So, really, I felt really good about alot of it, some I just guessed. None of the computations were complicated. I was finished in an hour and a half (same for AUD). Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone!

Waiting for the Texas CPA to approve my credentials so I can sit for my first exam, hopefully by the end of this month. Been waiting 5 weeks already.

Hoping to take AUD soon.

Call them, they are really helpful and could possibly move you through faster if you're nice about it. I was actually surprised at how great the Texas CPA people were after all the horror stories I had heard.

Good luck man. I passed FAR in May. So glad to get that one out of the way. Its a beast

So far AUD seems pretty manageable. Some of the analytical prodecure questions related to determining misstatements can be kind of tricky... but to me, FAR seems like much tougher exam. Knock on wood...

Good luck. I'm taking BEC in a couple weeks and the material is significantly easier than FAR.

I studied on and off for FAR about 3 months then tried cramming for 3 days. Got a 60. Now just moving on to BEC to get some confidence back. It is so miserable working full time and having to study. I always hurt myself by taking extended breaks to live my life.

Never had to study in school like I have to for these tests. I have two degrees from LSU and UNO and those were a breeze compared to the CPA. I would just rely on cramming in college and maintained a solid GPA. The CPA exam does not work like that. Anyone that says it is "easy" is either extremely intelligent or a liar.
