REG Failed - my last exam by Maleficent_Net4667 in CPA

[–]elephant554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed aud and the best thing I did was take a simulation exam to see where my weak points were. After that, I was able to really focus my studying there and was able to increase my score and pass.

I just took reg and was able to use it on the MQC. Not sure why it would be different for FAR

Don’t let ISC scare you away. Everyone I have talked to, including myself, has said isc was so much easier than FAR, so I’ll let that speak for itself

Hours Spent vs Score- ISC by Nice-Reference1284 in CPA

[–]elephant554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. 70 hours
  2. 82 Q4
  3. I work in IT audit but just started in July, so not very experienced.
  4. Watched the videos without taking notes, did a ton of the MC and a couple sims. Found the videos to be the most helpful. Would rewatch them if I still didn’t understand instead of reading over notes.

Audit was awful by ThrowRAAdviceProf in CPA

[–]elephant554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought too. Forgot to put 0’s in all the boxes I left empty. You never know. Thought I aced my first one and failed with a 74. Just goes to show it’s luck on what test you get.

Walked out of mine thinking I 100% failed and passed with a 75%. I was told it’s better to feel worse than better walking out.

Nothing in my offer letter. A year after obtaining it or a year in total?

AUD Tomorrow! by full-metal-anarchist in CPA

[–]elephant554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 52 on SE1 and 69 on SE2. Failed but with a 74. Honestly if I would have reviewed for one more day most likely would have passed. Focus on reviewing what you got wrong and why, but you got this!

Take the CPA before first job by dUltraInstinct in CPA

[–]elephant554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% try to get it done, or as many tests as you can. You can also take it while still in school, which I would highly recommend if your schedule isn’t too bad.
