I’m studying for FAR now, using Becker(may have to switch to Yaeger), I’m not feeling really confident right now. I’m putting in the hours of study, but when I go to the next section, I forget the stuff in the previous section. I retake the last sections test and score lower than the first time, so I have to go back and restudy. At this rate, I’ll never be ready.

Okay, so my boyfriend took his CPA exams about a month ago and just got the results. He failed every single test. He studied more that 20 hours a week I’m sure. He’s very smart and currently holds a job that is basically a pre-stage for when he does pass his exams. So of course I have a question…when he finally told me his results u wasnt sure what to say. I said a few uplifting things but I dont think they helped. So what I’m asking or wondering is…what can I do or say to help him and is there any advice for him if he does decide to re-take his exams? Please help. Thanks!

After three failed attempts in FAR in 2009,i gave up, but latetly I am starting to reconsider and try again. I was studying with Bisk Review, but unfortunately didn’t work for me.
Some advices please?

I am right there with you! I got a STUPID 73 as well. I had actually felt good about the test. In the scoring, I did better than others on 2 sections, comparable on 2 sections and less than on only 1 section, how could I have failed? Like you, I have passed 3 parts, which expires 8/11 and can’t pass this FARS section. After I saw my score, I immediately reapplied. I am determined, on a mission, to master FAR!
Good luck to you and just know, you are not alone

I’m feeling pretty low…just got my FAR score back and received a 73 (my track record is 73, 72, 73). I don’t know what I”m doing wrong? I also don’t want to admit how long I’ve been at this either. Let’s just say I’ve sat for both paper and CBT. I feel like giving up. I do have three other parts done and I have until 10/31/11 to pass FAR but I can’t find the motivation to keep on going. HELP!

I feel like a failure, everyone around me is passing and I feel like i am the only one who hasn’t. People keep asking and I already failed FARS. I don’t know what to do. My work sucks because they never let me study other than giving me a few days off before the exam. In the end it is very difficult to cope, and I cannot stress how much this has taken a tole on me.

Dear ALL, in case you are working, take long leave or may even leave job, but just complete your CPA before new course comes in. It will be worth studying now and jobs will follow you.
