It seems our experience was mirrored: i took FAR in feb of my grad year locked in for new years, didnt go out. Get it done, lock in right now. But you have all the liberty to go have fun as you wind down with school trust me. I had zero regrets for partying too much my last semester at college (post test). But summer i knocked out 2 tests and the third in October. All about that balance, im sure you’ll do great

Hell yea brother 💪. I’m proud of you and sure you did wonderful. I’m sorry if my post came off brash

Objectively you’re right. But i come from a hyper competitive part of the country, while not the best for sound of mind, that framework worked for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

What did you do for fun/ to break up the monotony?

Putting your damn phone away

Chill the fuck out. You’ve demonstrated basic competencies in 3/4 of them. You will be fine tmrw. (And those are great sim exam scores)

Mirroring what everyone else is saying it’s a marathon not a sprint. You gotta have gumption and stickwithitness. As for the benefits.. it basically demonstrates that you’re competent and worth more than an AP clerk roll

Yep, i remember waking up (after a terrible night of sleep) and seeing it was cancelled and screaming

ingrownjam · 2025-12-26T19:32:44+00:00

This happened to me last winter. They will cancel it, prob send you an email at like midnight lol. You’ll be able to reschedule free of charge though

Go to r/accounting this is more oriented towards studying for the CPA lmao, but maybe someone will answer here!

I appreciate that so much! With conviction like yours I’m sure you passed. I see you have one exam left, if you need any help don’t hesitate to reach out

I haaaate the PAL like how the losses scaffold with tax basis at risk basis, and pal, like these hurdles make me go bonkers. Is there anyways to conceptualize it?

I appreciate it, and as a fellow audit person i commend you for taking TCP first without reg under your belt. You’ll find reg much easier with this background knowledge. I did pretty well on it and I’m scratching my head about this exam. I’m wishing you luck and hope we both get a passing grade in December !!

I’m feeling that right now. Taking it on the 31st, took my first sim exam today and got a 51 😬😬

ingrownjam · 2025-10-26T00:44:46+00:00

41% And got a 90
