(1) I wish the exam was open book

(2) I wish you were given all day to complete the exam, instead of 3 or 4 hours

I wish passing was a 65. Then Jeff could name this site another61.com

A - 75
B - 78 God is good.
F - 77 Answered prayers.
R - 84! Done!!

Paperwork sent - waiting for license!!
Still on a cloud and in shock. Through God, all things will happen.

I wish there was a study guide with more precise topics that will be tested instead of the entire FAR Becker book 😛

I'm going to have to agree with @ThePhoenix, I think that even with the exams being as terrible and excruciating as they are, the process would be much more sustainable if exams were scored and released immediately – or at least within a week!

BEC 7/3/14 - 79
FAR 8/30/14 - 64, 85 (used Becker and Ninja MCQ)
AUD 10/3/14 - 82
REG 11/25/14 - 85

That you could take the same exam more than once in a testing window.

These are all good wishes. Definitely having the exam score post immediately (or at least for the MCQ or something…), and being able to take the same exam more than once in a window (why do they care? it would mean more $$$ for them) would make the exam experience totally different.

I also think they should go back to 70% MCQ and 30% simulations 🙂

[How many letters do you need]

Most of the good ones are noted but how about not having to go through the Prometric body cavity search? I've got nothing hidden in my calculator watch I swear!

Oh ya and just delete consolidations, deferred taxes, NFP & Govt. from FAR…to this day, in final prep for my last section and no topics have given me more trouble than those 4…

MBA,CMA,CPA, CFF?, ABV?

Hi guys.I have a quick question. How much time do we have to get licensed after all exam parts are passed? How many years before scores expire?

Unfortunately I have some 20 credits missing to required 150 semester-hours and won't be able to take any college classes anytime soon(for at least a year after being done with CPA exam).

FAR-(79)
REG-(77)
AUD-(87)
BEC-(75)

[Kimboroni]

Trojan1988, all of that varies from state to state.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

Real pen and paper. Not the dry erase crap they give you. I never seem to get markers that work correctly.
