I do, sometimes a couple of times a week. Sometimes its a passing score, sometimes a failing score. I also have dreams about the multiple choice questions haha.
Done!

I do, sometimes a couple of times a week. Sometimes its a passing score, sometimes a failing score. I also have dreams about the multiple choice questions haha.
Nightmares mostly.
After I took the AUD exam about two weeks ago, I had a scary dream. I dreamt that in one of my simulations I was required to go to WalMart and do an audit in Spanish. I know a little Spanish, but wouldn't know how to say "in all material respects...." etc. Very weird. I woke up right away.......
I've actually not been too bad with dreaming about the exam, studying, or scores. I credit pure exhaustion with that moreso than anything else.
OH yes haha. When I was taking FAR, I dreamt about it every night. Usually I was required to make my own MC questions, but then I was unable to answer my own questions so I was freaking out.
Kind of like daydreaming about winning the lottery....I'll occasionally think...."what if I pull a 76 off on both my next exams.....then what?" I've been doing this now for 2 1/2 years.
We all know that MOST everything we are "regurgitating" (for lack of a better word) on the exam, we will either not use or not encounter in real life. Adverse Opinions, Disclaimers, embedded derivatives, etc.... Anyone who's a CPA right now will tell you they've forgotten most of what they had to learn when they took the exam.
So I don't "dream" about the exams at all.......but I do find myself "day-dreaming" at times about what it'll be like when I pass it!
Yeah, I dreamed they graded the exams & announced when they would be released but it got pushed back one day at a time for several days with "technical issues". No wait, I was awake & that was the last two out of three sections.
I had a dream inside a dream the other night. I sat at the computer & checked my grade & got a 75. Just as I jumped out of my chair that I had passed all 4 parts I woke up from that dream & had to go check it to see. That time it was a 65 then I woke for real. It was not a good dream. I do daydream also about getting a passing grade then the paperwork going through, getting notice that I have been approved & certified and that big certificate on the wall.
This is so funny!!! Dreams about your scores. You guys would not believe that how much I dream about these tests. In fact, I lost my only girlfriend that I had in a battle against the CPA . Horrible :)
I definitely know what you mean. Every night before the exam, I can never get enough sleep because I keep waking up due to dreams (or nightmares) about the multiple choice questions or simulations. The way I look at it, its kinda helpful...you get some extra studying done while you are asleep haha
I have nightmares about the formulas in BEC. So far REG isn't keeping me up at night. I'm actually kind of enjoying studying it as it relates to what I'm doing right now.
Ughh,, and not just the scores which I seriously think about on a hourly basis,... i've had dreams where I was seriously doing or analyzing "problems" from the Wiley book and the thing is i wouldn't remember what i did when i woke up... and its tax time so i'm dreaming about that!!!!
I had a dream after my second time at taking AUD that I received a score of 14. I drove myself to the state's accounting board and demanded to see the questions that I had missed and their answers. Then I started yelling and cursing at the lady because she wouldn't show me. So I started reciting exact questions from the exam that I knew I had gotten right and their answers. And after I had listed about 20, I yelled "That is worth more than a 14 I know!" Then I woke up panicking!
back in august when they had the first "wave 2.5" for the FAR release, i was checking for my score every night for about 8 weeks. that was so brutal, there were like 10 nights in a row where NASBA swore they were going to release scores. And scores pretty much got released every day for a few days staright. i would wake up on my own at 3am just to check if it was there. i had dreams that i checked it and i passed, and when I actually woke up, I wasn't sure if it was a dream or not.
Ended up passing.
This is so funny! I just had a nightmare (recurring) the other night that I went to the board of examiners website (IL) to see my score and it was failing, and I kept going in and out of the internet to see if it changed. It changed everytime to a different failing score. I attribute that to the fact that every second of the day that I am not studying FAR / working I keep day dreaming of what it would be like to see a passing score on that screen or what might my score be when I actually receive it. Since I have waited 9 weeks 2 days (1/5) so far for AUD the stress from waiting so long is starting to interupt my sleep, and everything I do.
Plus after my 11/09 attempt at audit three nights later I was analyzing my exam in my dreams, I woke up, sat straight up, and remembered I never hit spell check in either of my communications tab. It was true...when I got my score I lost my written points which had never happened before. I know I type fast so I miss letters sometimes and I did proofread 3x, but I ran out of time so I did them both on the fly. I could bet I skimmed over something.
I am so glad I am not alone. I have had several nights like this. It is good to know it is not just me doing questions in their sleep. :O)
@Soanxious
I never dream about my score but I have nightmare every night after the exam and keep doing questions over and over in my sleep. I hope this nightmare end soon.
Free0911 - I hope so too! Sooner not later that is for sure. I have three more exams to go if I passed AUD. I just don't know if I can take many more months of this.
Aside from the nightmares of the test taking and score release, while studying, I tend to work through MC questions in my sleep. My brain works throughout the night rehashing and analyzing. Most of it is jibberish but sometimes like during tax season, I will come in the next day and change a tax return because I thought of something in my sleep I had not considered prevoiusly.
I dream for the past few days that I got an 85 on BEC.... Lets see next week when scores are released...!!!
Ha! I had a dream I passed AUD. Let's hope it comes true. :O)
I always have dreams about doing and re-doing MCs. In my dreams, most times I can figure out the problems. Then when I wake up, I'm just like what was I doing. I think sometimes it's just stuff that my mind makes up b/c it doesn't always relate to what I was studying.. Maybe it's our brains sorting though the info we are all trying to learn. I did have a nightmare that I had to go take BEC and I wasn't prepared at all and I was telling my friend that it couldn't be the day we had to take the test. But, it was. And I knew nothing on the test. That was the worst of my dreams.
I had a dream this week that I got a 2! Thought that was pretty entertaining.
I had a dream that I took the Bar Exam last night. Weird.
i actually just had a dream last night about the CPA (only my 2nd time). the first time i dreamt about the CPA, it was that i didn't realize/overslept and came an hour late to my BEC exam and had to convince the test center to let me start....with an hour chopped off of my time!
my dream last night was that they released the scores and my state had them posted but for some reason, even though my internet was working at home, i didn't have the direct link to the scores and this unhelpful man was giving my unhelpful instructions. so i went to the library (which looked NOTHING) like my library and tried getting on a computer but it was full of people, most of whom were doing other work but also printing out their scores. so i kept trying to get a computer but everytime i thought i got one, it wasn't really empty- girls kept leaving their extra sweaters to "save" their spots. so i just kept getting more and more annoyed since i only had to go on for a minute! and the whole time, some guy kept announcing on a mike something about jury duty and getting paid for it.
it was such a strange dream!!! i can understand why i dreamt about not being able to access the link but the girls saving their spots with sweaters and the jury duty announcements? it's beyond me!! i never even served jury duty!
When it gets close to my testing date I have dreams where I wake up late or can't get to the exam on time and they either won't let me test or I have almost no time at all and have to rush through the questions. I usually have my hair up in a towel because I don't have time to dry it before the test - lol, so weird.
The other night I had a dream that I was taking the exam at home on my laptop at my kitchen counter and the test was open book...but I still didn't have enough time and ended up getting a 74. Then I went crying to my husband that I didn't want to do the CPA anymore and then, thankfully, I woke up.
I got one of those realistic ones where you wake up and check your score and I got a 52 or 53 I could not tell because I was not wearing my contacts and then I focused in and saw it was a 15.......then I start thinking this is impossible this must be a nightmare then I woke........got online checked to see if my score posted but it hasn't yet.....the suspense of not knowing is so terrible it is ruining my sleep
I dreamed about my score...once. It was on the night that REG was "supposed" to be released to NASBA, but of course it did not. I dreamed that I checked my score online and it was an 86...I found out a week later that I really go t a 79. No biggie, though, I still passed. Let's see if I dream about my (failing) BEC score from April 2010...
LOL! This is so funny because I dream about my scores and the exam all the time.
I had a dream the other night that I was taking the BEC exam but they had all these computer monitors up in the room with video games that everyone else in the room was playing (with sound and everything!!) - it was SO distracting. Then I got all the way done with my exam and the computer crashed. The lady at the desk told me that they lost my exam, and I would have to come back tomorrow to re-take it! I was so angry - then I woke up! I was so glad that was a dream!
I have had many dreams about failing and passing scores.
I had dreams about both my FAR and AUD scores the night NASBA released those scores but I didn't get mine (thankfully in both cases, NASBA posted my score the next day). It's tough not to dream about something when you think about it literally that entire day and night, and sit there and hit refresh for 2 straight hours only for your score to not come up, and then you go straight to bed. In both cases I had dreams about passing and failing scores, but thankfully passed both!
When I was waiting for REG, I totally had dreams about my score! Haven't had any score dreams lately, though.
