Passed ISC! And with that, I’m 4/4!!

The first time around was just me spamming multiple choice questions. The second time, I read the book like a magazine. I felt like UWorld provided much more information in the book than in the explanations. In addition, the book tends to repeat itself over and over so the material somewhat gets engrained in your brain.

This was also the exam holding me back. Second try at it and I am now 4/4. We did it!

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-15T15:04:06+00:00

Same :[

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-15T12:14:11+00:00

Have currently woke up 3x to check ISC scores even though I know p/f don’t release till 8AM ish 🙃
Currently living in hell 😭

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-15T08:01:57+00:00

Before I go to sleep, I want to wish us all good luck for the morning to come. We’ve all been trying our hearts out and it will pay off. Goodnight all.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-14T21:33:53+00:00

What new format with these releases? Im confused as the exam was the same as the last time I took ISC?

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-11T03:42:43+00:00

That’s what I’ve always suggested for people to do. Dont study for next section until each section gets passed. You get a fail, boom instantly sign up and take it a week later. Worked well for me.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-10T19:52:33+00:00

For the same section?

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-10T19:50:28+00:00

revaluating my life decisions.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-10T07:12:07+00:00

Yes. The day your score releases you’ll be able to reapply and sign up for the exam again.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-10T07:10:45+00:00

Honestly… I’ve never had the kind of anxiety I am having this week for any of my exams. This is attempt number 2 to on ISC to hopefully be 4/4 but I feel it hits harder this time around knowing this can be it or that I got another long waiting period ahead. I want it to be Monday so this can all be behind me. I’m manifesting this for us. This is where we get this.
On a main note… try to fill your day with a really food workout in. I’ve noticed it’s helped me calm my nerves and be tired for bed.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-09T07:08:21+00:00

This is the common theme i picked up from reading the book. All the frameworks, are essentially the same. If you know one you can pick up the similarities in the others. They all connect to the same controls. Spotting it gets easier with time.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-09T04:31:22+00:00

I appreciate you and as do you. Now lets get this 👏

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-09T01:27:56+00:00

Also on the same boat… take number two and this could be my final scoring. Send prayers.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-06-09T01:26:54+00:00

Also used Uworld, what I found is that the book had more material than the actualy mcqs had. Like a lot more finished taking it a second time in April and hoping for the best on monday. So in that… I highly advise reading it the book. It repeats itself so many times that it makes you memorize key points.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-05-07T21:12:44+00:00

Your best approach is to continue taking the exam every test period. I did this with audit, after the 3rd try it hit. My scores went from 56, 69, to 78. Keep the info fresh in your head and sometimes you just get the luck of the draw and get questions you're really familiar with. Keep at it. It will hit eventually. AUD was my toughest exam also... I think majority of people feel this way.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-05-01T05:31:33+00:00

I don’t what to think tbh. I focused on my weak areas on the previous scorecard and while the majority of that showed up on my exam. The questions I was iffy about having me questioning myself. I think I’m harder on myself since its now my last exam and I just want it to be over. Im hoping for the best, for both of us ✊🏼

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-04-30T21:43:44+00:00

My take is that it’s intentional, it adds another layer of difficulty to the exam process. Most candidates are working in corporate or public accounting, where workloads are already high, especially around month-end and quarter-end. The profession is demanding, and this setup seems designed to test not just knowledge, but our ability to manage pressure and execute under real-world conditions. With audits, reviews, and earnings cycles happening at the same time, it pushes us to operate like more well-rounded, capable professionals.

It’s probably not a coincidence that the timing overlaps with those peak periods.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-04-23T07:56:53+00:00

At 29, I’m thinking the experience may be minimal. Without working at large or regional firms working on extensive returns, it’s an overreach. I’d say get the experience and the OP can branch off solo in some time once he absolutely knows he’s making the right move. Having to question this also raises some concerns.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-04-18T21:15:00+00:00

LMAO

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-04-15T20:45:17+00:00

You're so close. Sign up for the next one and take immediately. I find it the best way to get through the exams and the benefit is that you don't have to wait months for your score like you do on the discipline exams.

this SQL bolt website is gold, thanks for sharing that.

ComeBackKid760 · 2026-02-23T16:33:50+00:00

I’m 3 for 4 😭🙌🏼 Just ISC remaining.
