   While I am inspired by reading about those who pass, I find myself wondering, am I the only one REALLY struggling through this exam? I gain confidence knowing that I'm not the only one out there having to retake sections more than two or three times. Who else is struggling?

   My scores:
   BEC - 78 (lost credit 11/30/11), 73
   AUD - 75 (lost credit 1/14/12)
   REG - 70, 69, 71, 77 PASSED!
   FAR - 56, 49, 64, 63, 71

   As it stands, I only have one credit, but just a few months ago, I had 3 credits. Losing credit is heartbreaking and I need some motivation from those who are struggling like I am and continue to keep going. I have taken the exam 12 times now, and soon-to-be 15 times. Has anyone else taken it more? Let's hear the stories of perseverance out there!

   B - 78 (lost credit 11/30/11), 73, 75 PASSED!
   A - 75 (lost credit 1/14/12)
   R - 70, 69, 71, 77 PASSED!
   F - 56, 49, 64, 63, 71

   Trust me you are not alone in this journey; although it seems mentally that you are... I felt the same way and that is because maybe in your family and friends you are the only one taking the test... At least that was my reason...

   Here read this... It helped me, I hope it works for you...

   Please don't get discouraged. I have a hard time to pass my AUD. I have to try to AUD in the past few months of my life. Close people around me look at me as a loser. I normally took the exam when I was not ready since I got a lot of pressure from friends and families. Then I failed terribly. Now, I have decided to listen to myself to determine whether I am ready to take the exam or not. I know once I pass the exam and start making big bucks, people will look at me differently.

   AUD - Feb 25, 2012 => Really!! I got 82!! I still can't believe it. I am done!
   BEC - Passed
   REG - Passed
   FAR - Passed
   Ethics - Passed with 90% with 2 attempts
   
   I feel like a genie in a bottle, and I can't wait to finish CPA exam so I can get out of the bottle!

   COUNT ME IN!!!
   nothing inspires me more than to see the strugglers getting back up everytime after getting knocked flat on their asses. i just take comfort in knowing that we will at get there, just some of us take longer than others. i failed 12 exams before passing my first one so you're not alone. i just failed REG for the 5th time last window but the last thing i'll do is give up

   the key to passing is to NEVER GIVE UP!

   REG-65,71,74,73,70,74,79
   BEC-60's,60's,69,71,76
   FAR-67 (TBD)
   AUD-54,60's,65,83

   Haha. Definitely not alone. I am a collective 2/7 for a whopping 28% pass rate.

   Don't know what else to say but "hang in there". It is definitely a roller-coaster ride.

   FAR 67, 73, 71, 76; AUD 61, 85; BEC 70, 77; REG AUG 2012
