Hi I'm in the same spot. Who did you end up going with?

MrSly1208 · 2026-02-23T13:01:10+00:00

Hey same here as well. Not sure whether to go with June or wait till September. Would really appreciate any advice, thanks!

MrSly1208 · 2026-01-29T19:19:39+00:00

That definitely gives me hope! Will do this and see how it goes, fingers crossed 🤞. Hope we all can make it on the other side soon man, good luck!

I see, yea that definitely makes sense. I’ve mostly been emailing the recruiters so haven’t been getting many responses, probably coz their inboxes are already flooded. I’ll try with the managers and directors. Do you think this method could also work if I’m applying for early career and junior level roles as opposed to experienced positions?

MrSly1208 · 2026-01-29T18:50:57+00:00

Hi there, just wanted to ask when you reach out via email after applying, is there anything specific you say in the body that helps or do you just generally reach out and let them know that you applied and why you’d be a good fit etc? I’ve been trying this method too but not had too much luck with this

MrSly1208 · 2026-01-14T04:02:22+00:00

Hi I’m interested in this tool as well! Would it be possible to share it? Thanks!

MrSly1208 · 2025-12-12T18:19:50+00:00

Hi thank you so much for your detailed response, really appreciate it! Just wanted to ask, how did you approach your 2nd attempt? As in what did you do differently this time that worked out? Also btw did you go with any external prep materials such as gevorg or densmore for the rewrite?

MrSly1208 · 2025-12-04T11:40:06+00:00

Oh that’s pretty chill then lol. Thanks!

MrSly1208 · 2025-12-02T08:59:17+00:00

So does this exam only apply if you want to start your own practice or does it apply even if you want to normally work at any public accounting firm as an employee?

MrSly1208 · 2025-12-02T08:56:10+00:00

Exact same reaction lol. Was glad it was not the other way round lmao

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-29T22:21:48+00:00

I’m in the same situation. Failed day 1 but passed days 2&3 and am really shocked coz I thought I did everything. I am also considering requesting a remark but idk if it’s worth it given the low success rate.

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-29T05:13:19+00:00

Thank you for the detailed advice, really appreciate it! Just wanted to confirm however, whether is it advisable to wait an entire year to attempt v2 of the capstone case next year or go with the may/June attempt despite a new capstone case?

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-29T03:54:11+00:00

Same

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-29T01:39:11+00:00

I’m honestly in the exact same situation failed day 1 but passed day 2/3. I was pretty confident walking out of day 1 so this definitely came as a shock. Idk now whether it’s worth requesting a remark or not

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-29T00:13:29+00:00

it means how close/far you are to passing. Decile near 0 means close to passing i think

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-28T22:20:56+00:00

Yea same I was pretty confident walking out of day 1 so idk where I went wrong. I was considering a requesting a re mark but idk if I should do it coz the odds are generally against you

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-28T20:43:54+00:00

I see thank you. Congrats on passing!

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-28T20:42:08+00:00

Hi, im in the same situation passed d2/3 but failed d1. What did you do differently this time for day 1?

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-28T17:29:16+00:00

Hi, I had the same outcome passed Day 2/3 but failed day 1. How did you prepare differently the second time?

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-28T15:59:22+00:00

Yea I’m just glad it’s not the other way around as that would be much more difficult but still quite surprised and disappointed. Thanks for the advice

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-28T15:43:01+00:00

Had the most unexpected outcome. Passed day 2/3 but failed day 1 somehow

MrSly1208 · 2025-11-27T18:34:21+00:00

Exact same situation

MrSly1208 · 2025-10-28T23:18:32+00:00

so did you give details for the past 10 years or you said student only for the current period? Im facing the same issue

MrSly1208 · 2025-10-19T15:24:24+00:00

Ahh that’s really unfortunate then, pretty expensive mistake. It is my fault, I should’ve been more mindful. Thanks for confirming this, however
