Considering many of us snailmailers haven't even seen scores yet from April/May. :P
j/k'n though it does just add fuel to the proverbial fire knowing so many others are already studying/re-studying and my state claims today they're still waiting to receive the rest of the BEC scores.....

You might be a little optimistic with the "mid september." It will probably be the last week or last day of september.
This last test window seemed, at first, to be an improvement. But we all know that it was just a huge mess, once again.BEC - 71, 74, 77 (Feb - 2011)

offlineMemberIn a way I'm glad the results don't come out until the end of the quarter. The reason I say that is I'm planning on sitting for 3 exams this quarter and I'll be in a studying grove, I don't need any distractions inbetween (like I failing score). I'll lose my motivation. Good Luck everyone!!
Since 2008....

offlineMemberAssuming you are not doing anything incorrectly, you may need to expand your distance and include some Prometric centers you may not have otherwise considered. You would think they would have some sort of waiting list since we know there are going to be cancellations, but I am not familiar enough with the process to comment on that.

offlineMemberJeff - thanks for posting about the "reprint" your NTS feature. That saved me about 5 days in being able to re-register for the sections I failed. With not being able to get scores so late/re-register so late, spaces were very limited, so every day helps.
I have another question though for folks here. I got my scores via the website, but never rec'd the actual score report to tell me how I did. I thought the report is mailed from the TN address, but when I called today they gave me some PA number to try to get a re-print...but that was just a recording. I really wanted to see my breakout by topic/simulation so that I could know where my weak point was. Anyone have any tips to get around this? Thank you!

offlineMember@nenna
I think you may want to take a breath and start all over with your hunt for a test date. Start at the Prometric site and go through all the clicks that take you to the search for a location. You may have to travel farther than you would have normally had to...there are a ton of people taking exams this window and so test slots have already filled up very fast! There should not be any spots available for the month of September. I had checked for dates last week and there were literally none at my usual testing center, but when I checked again this week, there were spots available. I am thinking some people cancelled or something...
good luck!

offlineMemberHi All Regulation-ians! I have one more exam to complete to become a CPA (aside from the open book ethics after you pass all 4 exams -- but that to me doesn't count as a stressful exam as it's open book!). I have to sit for my exam by 8/31/11 and pass or I'll lose Audit credit. WHY CAN'T I FOCUSSSSSS!!?? This should be motivation for me that I'm at the end of the dark tunnel, but it's been hard. I think a huge part is the stress from my fairly new job in a new industry, but even still...I need to focus. I thought I'd come on here and read others comments on studying to motivate me...at least knowing I'm not the only one at home studying late at night helps!
Good luck to everyone who's sitting for an exam this year and those who are waiting for their score. I hope for positive results!!
Happy Studying! :)

offlineMemberI just took AUD. 4th try and i studied SOOO much for this time. But my question is: Has anyone ever gotten the same question more than once while taking the exam. i.e. i literally got the exact same question today 3 times. Once in the 2nd packet of MC and 2x in the third packet. Does that mean i was doing poorly? Ughh, so frusterated. I made sure to note it at the end of the test, but i studied so much for them to give me the same question 3x :(

offlineMember@RedRage, I'm very happy to report that even after I got the white screen of death at the end, everything went through okay! If I remember correctly (which it's sort of hard to remember after I freaked out), I had the same question twice, once in testlet 1 and once in testlet 3! It seemed sort of easy, which makes me wonder if they are grading either of them?

As for motivation, you are at the finish line! That should be quite a bit of motivation to cross it...I listen to some great music during study breaks, sing along and just forget about the world for a few minutes...a fantastic song for doing this is is: Open Happiness. I Seriously love this song, it was created for a Coke commercial and is such a feel good song. It gives me my mojo back :)
I take REG 8-31 and have to push to stay motivated too! Let's both do this last test, pass and be done with it! Here's to a number greater than 74 in both our futures :)

I'm honestly considering giving up the battle if I don't get FAR this time because I will have lost AUD. It seems really crazy to me to have to study and retest for something I already passed and this exam is really taking the enjoyment out of life!

Sure sounds short now. But once I walk out of the exam room on 8/30, it will be the longest 3 weeks of my life. I can already hear the AICPA laughing, "Mwahhahahahaha!!!"

offlineMemberIt's back! Yeah!!! I sat for REG last week. I am not too confident that I passed. I got a 87 on my practice test; however, the actual exam was nothing like my Becker practice test. The SIMS were awful. There was one SIM that was not in my study material. Luckily, I was able to remember a little from a college course I took in college. I THINK I might of got it right. I have a feeling if I fail, it's the SIMS that did me in. Does anyone know if they give partial points/credit for the SIMS? How exactly do they grade the SIMS? I am hoping for a score close to passing or passing at this point. I have already mentally prepared myself to have to sit for it again next window.

offlineMemberIf there was only 1 Sim that you were stuck on, then you're fine. 1 Sim is not going to kill you and chances are, it was probably a pre-test one.
Since there are 6 Sims on REG with one being a pre-test, only 5 will be counted. Each Sim is worth 1/5 of the 40 points. So each Sim is worth about 8 points. And they grade each Sim based on the number of boxes you have to answer. So, let's say you had one Sim on MACRS depreciation. On this Sim, let's say there were 8 questions asking you to calculate the depreciation. Each box is worth one-eighth of that Sim. If you get only 4 questions out of the 8 correct, you'll get around 4 points out of the 8. You don't have to get an entire Sim right to get points.
And it also could be (although it's never been proven) that each particular question is weighted based on difficulty. We don't really know for sure. The AICPA has this whole secret grading system. But one thing I know for sure is that there IS partial credit on a Sim. If you get only 4 of the 8 boxes on TB Sim #1 correct, then you'll get points for those 4 questions you got correct. Trust me, if they required you to get all questions in one SIm correct, then these exams would only have a less than 10% pass rate, lol.
Don't worry. I'm sure you did fine. if you got an 87% on the practice test, then you'll be fine. Most people do better on the real exam.
