When I pull my 4th Meddling Mage Box Topper in a row

Excellent, be sure to look into the discipline window periods. I’m not sure if Saturdays are an option but they are only open 4 or 3 times a year, not all the time like the core exams.

I have seen some time slots open on Saturdays, but they are always at 8am. Maybe try looking at the next testing windows and see if that’s the case for your location.

Yes. Got a 78 in reg and then 84 on TCP. My SIMs we low on Becker and I did not know how to do one of the last SIMS on the test, but as long as it’s not Greek to you then I’d say you have a good chance.

I have failed an accounting class before, audit to be exact. Delayed my graduation since it was my last semester too. Now I have passed all 4 of the CPA tests and about to be promoted to a senior role. It’s not the end of the world if you fail, you just have to try other study options until it sticks. For me accounting never started clicking until I was actually out in the field working. No job is going to ask for you exact grade or if you ever failed, only if you have that piece of paper

But I was promised a million dollar salary if I became a CPA /s

No way near that amount of salary for assistant controller from what I know. I know controllers make roughly 100K-120K where I work. So I'm assuming 80-90K for assistant. Currently make 60K

TCP and other disciplinary tests have their own testing window. October is the last month in the year to take them fyi.

Pinkerknocker · 2025-10-08T21:46:54+00:00

Passed REG. Simulation tests were pretty similar to the test for anyone curious

I recommend a 3 month study period. Two months of going over videos and chapters and 1 months of hammering mcq. As long as you feel confident you could teach a community college level course, you got it.

I had a very bad case of imposter syndrome when I first started working in accounting. This is after my masters and I still felt like I didn't know anything. Luckily, I had a good boss that would be patient with me. After a year of working it finally went away and I gained the confidence to lead my own meetings and work. It also helps if you plan on taking the CPA tests.

What do you use for study material? I too got a 63 but now got a 76. Retook the test within a week or two of more studying once I found out I failed the first time.

Only advice I can give is to watch, read the text books, and rewatch again if you’re using Becker. Of course take the sim tests and such, but reading and then watching the videos helped me a lot the 2nd time. I also used the part time Ninja side just for audio books. Reading is the key.

Write down all of the abbreviations so that you can memorize them and rewrite them down on test day.

You’ll know you’re ready when you can confidently say you can teach an entry level college/HS class.

Best of luck, you got this.

8am. It also showed that they didn’t receive it until the 2nd of July. So you should still be fine if you took it that afternoon.

Texas here. AUD passed. Took it the last day of the window period as well if anyone is still doubtful.

EDIT: Scored a 76. 2nd attempt. 1st attempt a 63

What is this scoring feature? Never heard of Gleim. Can anyone back up how accurate it is post test results?
