    Due to a burn ban in my area, I was not able to make a large bonfire like other candidates. However, after this long, emotional roller coaster, I still wanted to chuck my study material for good!

    So, I got all my items together and dumped each section’s books and notes after a short speech mentioning what that section put me through and my best friend snapping a picture of me throwing it away.

    I almost forgot to mention that I also spit on each pile before chucking it – just for good measure 🙂

    Finally being done: It’s a wonderful feeling!!!

    How could you dump those books? You could at least try selling them or lending them to others who will take this monster of an exam.

    AUD - 92
    BEC - 81
    FAR - 76
    REG - 89
    Never give up!

    When i finally pass these exams ( i hope it becomes a reality one day ) i am planning to give my books to anyone who needs it. Selling is not allowed , but giving it for free to someone who needs it is better than burning any day. Just my personal opinion, but i know some people get great pleasure seeing those notes burn 😀

    @futureCPA12

    I sold my 2013 books to a used bookstore that specializes in exam textbooks. The books I dumped were way back from 2011 (yes, I have been on this journey that long).

    @pia ach

    I didn't burn them – I dumped them in my paper recycle bin

    Is it weird that I want to keep my books? The FAR book can be a good refresher on basic accounting. I might toss out BEC and AUD.

    I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

    "Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

    My books and notes are all sitting in a box waiting for our first bonfire at our house. Never had a chance to last summer so we'll try again this year. Can't wait!!
