Right here! Except for I'm very much dreading it at the same time. Then again, I'm also waiting for REG and I'm pretty sure what that test did to me is illegal in 32 states.
In any case, good luck to you. We'll see if the TSBPA actually has the scores up this time (color me doubtful about that).

to those who didn't pass, this was my 3rd time taking audit. you don't always pass this on the first go, don't get frustrated and quit. just learn audit and try not to just memorize.
Good luck!

I don't have an AUD score to celebrate, but I finally got my REG score. 90!!! And I came out of there thinking there was a 50/50 chance I passed. I'll be tackling AUD in August sometime. But first I have to tackle FAR in a couple of weeks. What a great way to start my week and some major motivation.

Discovered my 74 this morning. Stronger in both MC's and sims than candidates with 75-80...lost FAR...useless and depressed at work :(

Haha. Well, if there's one thing that rivals can unite for, it's beating this damn test. Congrats!
@TXNewbie
That really sucks. In fact, I don't see how that's possible. Maybe you could be a candidate for the appeals process?

Didn't really have any clue how I did on the exam after finishing it. I didn't do well on Becker homework (1st time through) and the one practice exam I took was not passing material. I figured maybe a 65 or so if I didn't pass and at max an 82 if I did pass. I thought my exam was not too difficult, but I wasn't sure if it was because I had questions I knew or was just doing bad and never getting the hard testlets (I still question whether they are truly adaptive). However, the simulations seemed relatively easy, with one exception.
I was on vacation last week and was hoping for a Friday release in case I passed so I could do a little extra celebrating. Of course, if I didn't pass, the 9 hour drive home would not have been enjoyable as I would have been thinking about it the whole drive back.
Checked this morning and it sure felt good to see that I had two credits when I logged in. Got an 85 which is better than expected. On a whole I was stronger than the other 75-80 candidates in MC (although I don't think too much stronger based on the individual sections) and my simulation was stronger, which is not surprising to me.
Now onto REG in August. With no tax experience other than my own, it will be somewhat difficult for me. I have decided to push it back a couple weeks though since I don't have to worry about retaking AUD this next window.
Congrats Cubbie on being finished. Oh, and you too dallas, even though you are a Longhorn.

I also do not understand how a candidate scores 'stronger' on both MCs and sims than candidates who scored between a 75-80 and somehow winds up with a 74. This was my last exam. 1 point - 1 question that I will never use (Im in tax)...now I lost FAR and have no 2011 review materials.
And there is no review process, according to the TSBPA qualifications division. I called this morning, with the aicpa appeals process URL up (I posted it on another thread this morning), but that does reference it being up to the state's discretion. As we are not a NASBA state, they shot through that right away when I called. He mentioned there hasn't been an appeals process like the one I mentioned from the aicpa website 'in 15-20 years.' I challenged him, saying that was funny, since I had seen the review fees and success rate on the TSBPA website earlier this year (it has since been scrubbed)...he put me on hold, came back a minute later, and said there was no review process ANYMORE, and it was discontinued 'about a year ago.' When I mentioned the recent URL on the website, he said 'oh yeah, we stopped that after the first window. You get what you get.' I have no recourse...1 point away turns to 2 down, 2 to go...
already submitted both applications this morning - anybody who may have 2011 FAR review software disk with 1 license to spare who might feel sorry for someone in my position (not just the score, but having purchased all pre-2011 review materials and BEC/AUD 2011 materials) feel free to ship me a disk out - I'll pay for shipping! :/
