Hi Everyone,
I have been trying to take the CPA exam since May of 2013. After failing both audit and reg the summer after I graduated, I gave up and told myself I needed a “mental break.” I started working in September and started my CPA journey again in May 2014. I took Audit and failed with a 73. I retook Audit in July and just found out I failed with a 73. I was too ashamed to tell my coworkers and now I am starting to feel discouraged with 4 exams left to take and it seems I still haven’t found a study schedule that is effective. Does anyone have any advice. As of right now, here is my plan:
BEC: 8/28/14
REG: 73, Redo 10/11/14
FAR: 11/26/14
AUD: 71, 73, 73, Redo 1/05/15
To make matters worse, I live in another state from my parents…they aren’t even calling me anymore because they are so disappointed. Exact quote, “we are in disbelief that you have not been able to pass a single exam. Are you even trying?”
I honestly haven’t been able to sleep, eat or concentrate (which I know is only making matters worse…but I can’t get out of this slump). I am so upset with myself for not being able to pass an exam. All of my other CPA candidate friends passed on their first try and are about to become CPAs. I CANT EVEN PASS ONE EXAM.
I have been using Becker’s self-study materials. What I did for my last exam was:
1. watch the video lecture
2. read the chapter
3. do the MCQ until I knew the answer to each question
4. Try to get 2 sections done a week (repeating above)
I could really use some advice and encouragement so that I can achieve my goal of becoming a CPA. 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
B: 8/28/14
A:71,73,73 RETAKE 1/5/15
R: 10/11/14
F: 11/26/14
