New to the forums and the test - my friend who recently passed told me about this site. Over the past two months I took REG and FAR (definitely will not take both these tests so close together again), and on both of them I ran out of time. I use Becker study materials and place some of the blame on them as the simulations given are much easier and much less time consuming then the actual CPA exam. On both tests I left myself about an hour for the simulations and both tests I was unable to finish them. I feel that I did really well on the MC but very poorly on the Sims.

Would you guys think I even have a chance of passing either of these exams?

REG - 1 sim completely blank, completely guessed on the research as I ran out of time

FAR - 2 sims completely blank, research was a general guess, did not feel so great about the other sims.

On a side note does anyone else find it extremely hard to complete the sims when they have two tabs (which you have to scroll up and down) and also have to use the calculator on such a small screen. I feel like it takes forever to organize all the info given and it is very time consuming to wright everything down compared to having information given to you on a sheet of paper. This very frustrating especially when I know the material so well and feel as though I did great on the MC and just got straight up hosed on the Sims.

possible. 40% of the score is TBS. chances are if you got a SIM tab that was really hard and missed most of it, others might have too. If you get out of this window with either Far or Reg passed, it was a big success. both very hard exams.

I took FAR in 2010 under the old format (2 large similuations) and I left most of one blank and did not feel all that confident on the MCs. So yes I believe there is much hope for you yet!

FAR 10/1/2010 =====> 90
BEC 10/28/2010 ====> 81
REG 2/2/2011 ======> 82
AUD 5/28/2011 =====> 92 ===========>DONE!!!!

Wait - you are blaming Becker because you only left one hour for the SIMS? I am sorry, but you only have yourself to blame. I studied exclusively with Becker for FAR and felt that I was very well prepared for everything I saw on the exam. On REG, I was able to walk out of the room with about 50 minutes remaining feeling fairly confident.

In general, I dont understand why people are spending so much time on multiple choice. Take FAR for example. The test is 4 hours long. MCQ represent 60% of your score. Why wouldn't you spend closer to 60% of your allotted time? So, you spend a little less than two and half hours on MCQ (4 hours x 60%) and you spend a little over an hour and a half on SIMS (4 hours x 40%).

Last thought (maybe), this exam is a different exam than the one two years ago. You can't compare how X person did two years ago leaving half the sims blank to how a person would do on this test. The comparison is useless.

@Minimorty- I'm pretty sure that I did awful on my AUD Sims. I know I did great on the MCQs, but I know I did horrible on the Sims. The questions were completely out of left field and you need to have good work experience in Auditing to be able to answer them. I was lost and pretty much guessed everything. Yet, I got an 87. With that said, I'm fairly certain that the Sims are not worth 40% like the AICPA claims. I would say they're worth a lot less. So, spending the bulk of the 4 hours on MCQs is a smart move, IMHO.

I wholeheartedly disagree. First, I think the SIMS are worth exactly 40% of your score. I am not saying the SIMS are not curved (or however the AICPA describes its grading system), but I do believe that the SIMS are given a weight of 40%. The AICPA is specific about very few things, yet they come out and say the SIMS are worth 40%. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on that one. I also think that everyone underestimates the amount of partial credit they receive on the SIMS. I am sure you picked up extra points here and there on the SIMS. Did you receive a score report? Did you actually test "weaker" in the SIMS area and still get an 87? My guess would be that you scored at least comparable on the SIMS. If everyone wants to spend all their time on the MCQ, I am completely fine with that. I think the SIMS make or break you and I'll continue to give myself enough time on the SIMS to grind out the few extra points that are going to give me a passing score.

jet, it sounds like you were very ambitious to jump in so quickly to two very difficult exams in the same window. I sure do hope you pass but either way take it as a learning experience, to really research, talk to people before hand, and to expect the unexpected. Becker can't guarantee that you are going to see sims even similar to what they give for study.

I approach each exam by initially giving myself 25-35 minutes for each MCQ test to try to leave at least 2 hours for the sims. When I just took AUD I had about 2.5 hours for the SIMS, and I used every single minute of it. Hang in there.

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

If I can do this, YOU can do this! Hang in there :)

@Minimorty - First of all calm down, I don't need you jumping down my throat. If you actually read my post and did not interpret it the way you wanted to see it - it reads "I use Becker study materials and place some of the blame on them." In no way am I saying that if I fail this test it is all of Beckers fault but the fact of the matter is I spent a lot of money on their review materials to get me prepared for the test. They recommend in the review book that you leave 60-75 minutes for the simulation for FAR, which I did. Also, all of the simulations I practiced from the software including the practice final exams I nailed the simulations, all 7 of them in under 30 minutes. The difference between what I saw on the test and from Becker was night and day in both complexity and length of the sims. So if this is how I prepared, thinking that Becker will have me fully ready for the test, how could I not place some of the blame on them? I am not one to make excuses, if I did not pass the exam blaming Becker will get me nowhere, but now that I recognize that they do a piss poor job on preparing me for the simulations I will obviously have to look else where to prepare myself for that section of the exam.

Sorry for the long winded response. Everyone else thank you for the responses, I have been hearing encouraging things from friends who have passed the FAR and REG parts when there was only 2 sims and they all said they did miserable on them as well. But I do know that the exam is structured different now - I guess I will have to hold my breath and pray to the Gods of accountancy that I pass.

If you're confident that you did well on the MC questions, it's very possible for you to pass without completing some of the Sims. When I took Reg under the old format last year, I didn't touch nor look at the second Sim and I passed.

Umm, not sure why you think I am jumping down your throat. I am merely stating my opinion that you left too little time for the SIMS and you seem to want to assign blame to Becker (even partial blame). I also do not understand why you are giving any weight to what your buddies had to say about a test completely different in nature than the one you just took. Anyway, I wish you luck. I am sorry if you were just looking for, "Oh its okay. I am sure you passed."

I'm starting to get a little frustrated with people comparing the old format to the new format. The old format only had 2 SIMS, one was pretest, and it was only work 30% of your grade. If you did terrible on the old format 1. It could have been the pretest SIM, 2. It was only 30%! If you did well on the MCQ there was a good chance you passed. The new format is totally different. I'm sorry but 40% of your grade, that makes each SIM roughly around 6 points each (excluding the pretest) if you miss two that's 12 points you didn't get. Sorry I just had to get that off my chest, I'm not trying to discourage the OP, I just get frustrated when people are comparing the old format to the new format!

What is done is done...You can't change it..But just a simple advice

In this new format where SIMS count for as much as 40% of your score, i believe they give partial credits for a lot of little things. If the simulation is asking to fill a dollar amount say AGI, and even you have some number in there you will get a partial credit. Also, it takes 1 minute to just put zero's in cells where numbers are required and also i think if you just even touch a TBS you get some credit...even half a point.... But leaving a SIM completey blank is a cardinal sin....in this new format....

Just my 2 cents.

All Done

BEC : 75 (70,72,74)

It's hard to tell how much time you need for the Sims.

I gave myself only 1 hour to do the Sims for FAR and REG and was able to finish just in time. With AUD, I gave myself 1 hour and a half for the Sims and almost ran out of time. I had to rush through the last Sim. Very weird!!

I'm not an optimist by nature, so I personally don't like your odds. I would recommend that you keep yourself refreshed on the material because Hail Mary passes in the end zone get dropped more often than get caught. But hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised by the end of this month.

@CPAMan - agreed, I was just curious if it was even a possibility, which it looks like there is a a remote chance. I completely understand that this test is different from 2010, which is why I posted on this forum to see if I had a chance - as I mentioned my friends were encouraging but they did not take my test. I am not getting my hopes up but I am hoping for a miracle.

I always look at everything as a learning experience, good or bad, and now know what I have to do to pass (more time for sims and better prep) if I do in fact fail these exams.

For 2010, the SIMs weren't usually pretest questions. Last year the sims were worth 30%, this year it's 40% -- so think about it, if you miss one sim under the current format you stand a better chance than last year.

What isn't being factored into comparing the exams (which really is just not even logical) is that 10% of the 30% was the written communication....which i would think is a freebie of 10% for most people.

I think overall the study materials out there need to be updated for the recent changes in the exam format. The new simulations in my opinion are tougher than the old and require a huge amount of time. I left 90 minutes to do my REG simulations which I thought was more than enough time, I left with only 5 minutes remaining on my exam time, and could have easily spent another 30 had I not been so frustrated and fed-up with it. I didn't even understand what one tab was asking and I barely knew 70% of the others, but I still ended up with a score in the high 80's. I did feel very good about the multiple choice, and clearly had lengthy quesitons on my 2nd & 3rd testlets. I am not sure how they grade these sims, and probably never will, the "fill-in-the-cells" style responses gave me the impression that you either got the right answer or you didn't (how would they give you partial credit on these?), add to that the heavier weights on the sims and it makes the grading and guessing of your score even more of a head scratcher.

im pretty sure i had at least one FAR TBS tab (2011) that was likely 100% incorrect (or close to it). It might have been a pre-test tab though. to my surprise i got an 88

CPA scoring guide says that all MC questions are weighted on 3 factors which are: (quoting from
http://www.nccpaboard.gov/clients/ncboa/public/static/How_the_CPA_Exam_is_Scored.pdf)

"Difficulty – whether the question is generally easier or more difficult for candidates,"

"Discrimination – how well the question differentiates between more able and less able candidates, and"

"Guessing – the chances of candidates answering the question correctly just by guessing."

My take from all of this (and I could be wrong) is you could say CPA exam is curved in the sense that all of the operational questions you receive on your exam previously appeared in prior testing windows as pre-test questions, where they were then weighted depending on the statistical results of "Difficulty/Discrimination/Guessing" -> the 3 characteristics above. So how well you are scored does depend a great deal it seems (if not entirely) on candidates' past performance when they encountered the same/similar question/topic.

For TBS, we know that having 6-7 tasks is new for these 1st 3 quarters of 2011. Approx 40-49% of people are passing, yet I doubt 40-49% of candidates are nailing TBS tab after TBS tab. If you completely miss a TBS tab or two that was a b*llbuster for most candidates, I could be wrong but I bet there's still a pretty good chance at passing. Best bet I'd think is to just fill in as much as possible on every TBS tab, even if you have no clue. Then if you have any extra time, re-read the instructions more carefully and if you're still stuck, check out the authoritative literature and see if you can figure it out more.

I just took AUD and might have passed/might have failed (dont know yet). I passed it the last time I took it in 2008 under the old format. I found that when I first got to the 2011 TBS tabs my heart was beating incredibly fast and I felt overwhelmed like I didn't know where to even start! Then I start to fill out what I know on each tab and nail the research questions next. Then if there's time go back and fill in more with a guess. Then if there's more time, re-read instructions and try to perfect the tabs. Then if with any remaining time if you can read the literature to get some hints that might help.

from
http://www.nccpaboard.gov/clients/ncboa/public/static/How_the_CPA_Exam_is_Scored.pdf
"The statistics are generated when the questions are administered as pretest questions and used in the scoring when the questions are operational."

There is hope my friend. Both FAR and REG I left thinking Becker had not prepared me well enough - and both times I passed. I've learned to trust the Becker process and let the chips fall where they may.

I'd recommend enjoying the time away from FAR and REG while you can, just in case you end up back with them.

I took 2 parts of the CPA exam in 2010 (passed both FAR and AUD) and took the other 2 in 2011 (BEC and REG), and failed REG. Since BEC does not have any task-based simulations and is not relevant to this discussion, I have to be brutally honest and say your chances of passing are slim to none. Why I said that is because my FAR exam in 2010 went just like many people here have posted... I left 1 simulation tab completely blank and basically put BS down for all the other tabs, and ended up passing with an 82. Fast forward to 2011 when I took REG, I was all cocky and felt confident leaving the exam even though I did just as poorly on the sims as I did on my FAR exam. 1 month later, I received my score of 70. Again, I just want to be honest, but those feel-good stories about getting lucky on prior year exams just don't apply anymore. While it is possible since I guess I didn't miss a passing score by thaat much, you had to have scored every possible point on the sim tabs that you did complete to have a chance. I do hope that you get lucky and are an exception. REG is such a pain, especially for non-tax professionals. I am also waiting to hear back about my REG score in September.

@killaking - I'm not sure that arrogant is the correct word for my responses. I have only taken and passed one exam so far (although I am waiting for two scores). I have no illusions that I am better than anyone else on the forum. I think a number of my posts have been insightful, helpful, and entertaining. All I try to do is tell it like it is. I am not going to candy-coat my responses in order to make the op feel better. I understand this is a forum where people go for support. I am here to support those people. However, I also think it is important that a realistic response be provided to those who are asking questions. Only rarely will I provide a truly sarcastic response. I remember one op came on here scoring in the 90s on the Becker review materials and was concerned that he wasn't scoring high enough. I responded that anything less than 100% is unacceptable and he should delay his exam. Was it sarcastic? Yes. Did the response really cause any harm? No. I'll make a conscious effort to watch my tone, but silly questions may receive silly responses once in a while. I just want to bring a realistic point of view to the forum.

I'm with Mini on this one...I've seen him support plenty of people on this forum. Remember when teachers would always say, "there is no such thing as a stupid question"? Well, that's a bigger farce than truly bipartisan politicians. There ARE stupid questions and when I see one, I jump all over it like a fat kid watching his last ho-ho start to roll down a hill. At the end of the day, if the OP (sorry, dude) wants someone to pat him on the back and tell him that he probably did fine, he'll call his mom, dad, wife, etc. If he wants truthful, unbiased advice from hundreds (if not thousands) of strangers, he'll post his query on a public forum. We're all here to get answers to our questions and we all have an opportunity to offer our own opinions, regardless of how blunt they may be.

Here's my analysis for FAR - 6 of the 7 TBS count. Let's be conservative and assume OP gets no points for the 2 he left blank and missed the research. TBS count for 40%, so best case scenario is 20% (assuming he was perfect on the other 3 TBS that count). MC count for 60%, so best case scenario is 60% (assuming he was perfect). In the most unrealistic, absolute best case scenario, he's already down to 80%, so yes, it's still possible to pass.

It's also statistically possible to walk up to a roulette wheel and land on red 100 times in a row; you have a .00000000000000000000000000000035% chance, to be precise, or 1 in 282,559,004,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times. Granted, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but we're just trying to be realistic here. I mean personally, if it was me, I would be like, "gee, maybe they're right", and continue to study whatever section I just took because the odds are against me.

REG - PASSED -- 1st Attempt

ROFL killaking, and there's nothing "negative" about your last statement there. People have got to stop trying to give helpful advice within the same message that does the exact oppoosite of what they are demanding others do.

And what does how many exams one has passed matter? Have you passed 3 already? Does that mean my opinion counts more? lol!

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

If I can do this, YOU can do this! Hang in there :)

@ jetablack4 - welcome to the forum - I'm sure you did well inspite of the 1 sim you left in REG and 2 in FAR. You just have to wait till the results come out and see. Be hopeful and positive. If it doesn't work out, keep on trying. All the best of luck!!!

@killaking- Yes, Minimorty only passed one section. But if you read his posts in other thread, he feels good about how he did on AUD and REG. So soon, he'll have 3 passing scores.

I, on the other hand, will remain at 2 passing scores as I don't feel good about REG at all. :(

FAR: 52, 66, 73, 61, 89
AUD: 47, 87
BEC: 80

the mods are just to keep an eye out for exam disclosure, not to be playground monitors.

BEC -75

If I can do this, YOU can do this! Hang in there :)

@Newbie58, as I wrote earlier, I'm pretty sure one of my 2011 FAR tabs was completely wrong, and I got an 88. But that tab I screwed up on could have been a pre-test, so who knows?

REG 68 (2008), 82 (2010)
BEC 79 (2010)
FAR 81(2008), 88(2011)
AUD 82(2008), 95(8/31/11)....DONE

Just curious...
Isn't this site equipped with some sort of auto profanity check?
Why would a moderatior need to worry about that (besides disclosure issues)?

@happy - The site probably has some sort of auto profanity check (although I do not know this for sure), but there are always clever ways around it. You can still use offensive language without actually using profanity as well. Yes, disclosures are the primary purposes of moderators, but I think moderators can also be useful in removing overly offensive material.
