When are scores for wave 2 predicted to be released?

When are scores for wave 2 predicted to be released?
@ FarBehind and ChaFay - I was so sorry to hear about your scores. I know the feeling. Got a 74 on my third attempt. Converted to Yaeger because I realized I must be missing something in Becker as well. And I don't think I can stand to look at that material for another day. Just want to be done with this FINALLY. It will be worth it though. Look forward to Oct/Nov with all of you and CPAWannaBe. Maybe all of us will get the news we have been waiting so long for.
@LSU_BR: It's hard to have to go through this again but on the bright side it is awesome to have you guys to share in my disappointments and successes with. Thank you for the encouragement. We can do this in Oct/Nov. When do you plan to test? How did REG go on Friday?
LSU_BR,
Thanks for your post. I am sorry for your 74, this feels worst than my 70. But at least you are going up in your grades, you should expect passing grade next time. I am also converting to yeager, I don't know what else to do to pass. I cannot believe I didn't learn the material for 9 months. Maybe I have to have much deeper understanding of concepts. Last time I was tested on topics that were hard for me. Did you convert to yeager now or before taking FAR last time?
@whonis - I took Becker for all 4 parts, but for FAR I also purchased their Final Review course - it was a separate book, and I attended the live (11-hour) class + watched their final review course lectures on DVD. It was excellent software, very clear, and also very concise. They summarized FAR into 1/4 of the regular book.
I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a boost or just wants to reinforce their knowledge of the major and most important concepts.
I took FAR on Saturday and I have no idea how to feel about it. The first MC section was difficult and the second MC section was even harder and the third section was even worse than the 2nd. With the exception of the essay and research sections the simulations were almost unworkable considering the time constraints. Anyone else get anything like this?
Looks like you did a good job if your testlets became progressively harder. The time constraints with this exam are killing me. I don't get why it should be that way and how working under such stress is making you a good accountant.
@DukeNuke - I felt the same way. I felt good about MC, but by the time I got to sims my brain was fried and only had 30min to work both. I got through them, but I would not hang my hat on my answers...LOL. I am just hanging out and waiting to see what happens....
@Jeff since I think I am in wave 2 does this mean I failed? or just that i received a new sim? Do most people fail who are held over from wave 1? I want to start studying again so I can take it early in October. Should I stat studying again or just wait for my score? Thanks.
@Ninersfan316 - Good question, I am in the same boat. But from what I have read wave 2 doesn't mean you are passed or failed, it just means we got a new sim. Hopefully Jeff can confirm. I have officially stated studying though. Hopefully my news will be good, but I want to be prepared just in case (you never know with these exmas).
@DukeNuke & @RittCPA - I also took my exam on Sat and it was extremely hard all the way through. This is my third try at FAR so it was extremely discouraging to have such hard questions. I tried to fight through it and keep my head calm but it was tough - I've never seen an exam that hard for FAR before.
@CPAdancer- that could have been a good thing
im taking far tomorrow for the first time. does anyone have any good advice? i took the day off to study and need some tips!
@CPA Dancer,
It was the TRUTH! I passed CFA Level I and that test was tougher!
CPA dancer - don't give up hope. I thought I failed FAR, but I got my score last Thursday. I passed with 75!!
I left 75% of the first simulation blank because I had no idea how to do it.
dukenuke - all my 3 testlets were difficult. The simulations were even worse. I have no idea how I got 75. I think they add 30 points to everyone's exam
rick ball - I think Wave 2 will be released 9/20. I read it somewhere on Another 71
@Jordama Better find a nice place of worship that has a Monday service. Ha Just kidding I would just continue to work MC's and get a good nights sleep
@cpaguy - Hopefully you got your score today because I did not. However, I did get my letter in mail stating I passed Audit and that FAR is "Attended."
@CPA IL. no score for me either. Guess well just have to wait it out for another month.
Good luck!
Why wouldn't scores be released around 10:15 p.m. tonight like they always are?
I just received my FAR scores this morning. I passed with a 78%. This was my first test and I tell you I thought I FAILED and I don't mean barely but I thought I bombed. I totally ran out of time and barely started my last simulation. The only thing I did was the mem then I guessed on everything else. I had worked myself up into such a fit I actually felt like I was going to puke the whole test. If I can pass so can you.
I just took REG on Friday and I left great after and my testlets kept getting harder. One down three to go.
SuziBrown1 congratulations on passing FAR. What was your feeling on the MCQ's in the FAR exam?? Am taking FAR tomorrow and at this point I don't know what to expect..
I just got finished with FAR (which is hopefully my last exam). My second testlet was harder than my first but my third was easier than the second (about the same level of difficulty as the first). The simulations were so-so. Has anyone had this mix of testlets before and still passed? I know the harder, the better, but is there still hope?
So I'm planning to take FAR mid October and was looking at how many weeks I have and it's about 6 weeks of studying. This will give me enough time to take AUD In late Nov. I'm using Gleim for my study prep and wanted to know if anyone used this for their FAR preparation and found it prepared them well (and passed)? I took BEC last Friday and felt that it covered the material well; not sure how I did though. My goal is to try and knock out about 5 subunits a week to give me some time for final review. Is it possible?
Have all the FAR scores been released for this first wave?
Or have all the scores been posted for this wave?
@ChaFay and FarBehind - Plan on scheduling for Oct 16 if my NTS ever comes in. I JUST switched to Yaeger and it should come in tomorrow. I am anxious to get started because I feel like I am wasting time. I studied using Becker THREE times and I just felt like I would want to hurt myself if I had to use it again. I've done those hw questions 9 times over the past 8 months :(
@ChaFay and FaBehind - my email is acavaretta@hotmail.com . I wish this forum still had private messaging. I would like to keep up with you. It helps knowing other people are going through the same thing you are.
Exam is tomorrow...at this point I just want to get it over with. I hate FAR
