Pass the CPA exam

after all those 74s… wasting tonz of $$$ on exam fees, i just got my last REG score of 80. if i were not to pass this section, i woudl’ve lost AUD so it means more than anything. And i passed before busy season. thank god! (i’m already working late!) i really do thank god!!!

wish all of you best luck with all my heart. thank you so much for your support and advise. hope i can do the same for those who are working through this crazy madness. best luck!!!

There are about 50 questions in Wiley’s IT section related to EDI and one can not even tell what exactly EDI is from their explanation in the book. I am lost! I ask IT friends and they say it is an old system that no one uses or talks about anymore…...
Is this something I can see on the exam? If so, can anyone give me a simple example for EDI?

I don’t think I did well. By the time I got to the last simulation I was so tired of being that cold room all I could think off was going home. At least now I know where my weakness is and what I need to study. It sux, but I have to keep going.

I am taking the FAR exam tomorrow…nervous…aahhh!!

So I walked out of AUD and FAR sure that I had failed and made an 82 and 79 respectively. I was always confident about BEC because I’m strong in finance, made an 86. So I felt somewhere in the middle about REG… got my score this morning, 64. I’ve been crying for the last hour. I had this lofty goal of passing all four the first time and in 90 days. Its hurts so bad to be shot down on the LAST one. So I guess I wont have my license this tax season :(.

Does anyone have any tips for using the calculator during the exam?

I hate that thing and find that it costs me time because it takes several attempts to get entries to show on it.

I also wish it stayed in a neutral place throughout the exam without constantly having to click it on.

Is it just me? Does anyone else get frustrated with it?

I took the all four exams last Spring and I failed all of them. I realized it is just too much for me to remember and hold everything in my brain at one time, so I decided to clear them one by one. After relaxed and enjoyed the whole summer, I started studying only FAR really hard for three months, and took the exam this month. To my great surprise, my performance was just about the same as the first time, or even worse. Obvious materials to me were not the focal points of the exam this time, not at all, none of them!! I am totally perplexed with this exam. But, I will keep learning untill I beat down this exam no matter how many years it will take me!!!!! Now, I am studying for BEC, since I purchased NTS for BEC already before the FAR exam, not imagining at all the possibility of failure…..

So, I am taking REG on Saturday. Has anyone sat for it this testing window? Any tips, suggestions, or encouraging words are greatly appreciated :-)

I thought I understood how to calculate costs for by-products, but I am just not getting it…anyone have any suggestions on how to get this concept down or can you explain it in a way that is easier to you? I am testing on Wednesday and slowly starting to get frustrated!

so i did not want to let a stupid score depress me. It happened the last time and i put the books down for a year. Now I have less then 3 months to pass 3 exams!

But it happened again. Since I found out my fail score – I just can’t concentrate on studying and BEC is on wednesday!
OMG, i will fail again!
