    @SeattleAccountant I think your exam is on the 13th (?), but just in case you don’t come on here tomorrow because you’re studying all day or something, I wanted to wish you an early good luck on your last exam!!! Please let us know how it goes! My BEC exam is on the 14th, so I’ll be anxiously waiting to hear how you thought it went.

    Also, thank you for taking the time to answer all of my (sometimes obscure) questions over the past couple of months! You have been a great help to me. I will miss your assistance while studying for my (hopefully last) exam, AUD.

    Good luck!!! We all know you’ll hit this exam out of the ballpark.

    Oh dear, thanks!

    But …I moved it to 25th (see my signature) since getting sick (high BP) and have been taking a bit slower. As of today, I have 13 days till the exam, but really appreciate your well wishes!

    I enjoy participating in discussions for they make me think harder and evaluate my own preparedness.

    How is your BEC coming along? When do you test, in two days?!

    I will be checking on and off here for BEC discussions until August 25th. Hopefully we can put this behind us. My prediction that you will find AUD a walk in park especially if you are native speaker. It was one of the most pleasant sections with plenty of time left and sims that could be taken from AL word for word.

    BEC so far is very frustrating since I get full credit on certain topics and 80%'s on the others and freak out mad for lack of any consistency. It seems that all the stuff ends and pieces ended up in BEC and W/C uncertainty also drives me up to the wall.

    Steady Seattle…watch that bp. It's easy to get excited especially doing mcq's and wanting to get them right.

    Enough mothering…keep studying and good luck on 25. You can do it……

    Thank you guys!

    I thought i had nasty headache like for a week and finally went to immediate care feeling just out of it and got rx for BP 🙁

    Looks like all this sitting down and munching and late in bed and early rise had its toll on me, plus some extra pounds. I'm so looking forward to the end of this!

    Yeah, and having type A personality doesn't help either.

    Haha major fail on my part! Well, guess I'll have to resurrect this thread on the 24th then 🙂

    Take care of yourself! The CPA exam is important, but not as important as your health. You're almost there! 🙂

    And yep, I'm testing in two days! Gonna do the second Becker practice test and finish up the 2013 AICPA questions and then do just run through my notes one last time.

    I'm glad to hear about the relative easiness of AUD. I am having surgery on September 13 with the exam October 1, so easier is definitely better!

    It sounds like you are well prepared for BEC. Your previous exam scores are all stellar, and if your lowest MCQ scores are in the 80s, you have nothing to worry about! I am also worried about the WCs. I have been doing all right on the Becker prompts, but if the prompts on the actual exam don't deal with BEC material, it may take me longer to write them.

    I will post my exam experience for sure Wednesday evening. Good luck studying!

    This thread should be titled “Good luck to Barelystayingsane on BEC!” (note to moderator).

    I will certainly look forward to reading your exam experience and wishing you best. Again, judging by your past performance and having you posting & participating in discussions here, I know that you are prepared, capable and will pass BEC (and AUD).

    Thanks for being a study buddy, will miss you and thanks for posting that video about OH, that was great!

    #434351

    Thank you Barely!

    You inspire me to try hard! Congratulations on your well deserved score, was very happy to see it.

    Thank you for all encouragement, I will try my best although can not promise brilliant results (being so physically tired).

    Good luck on AUD, go for EWS award!

    Alright, reporting straight from a battle-field. Get ready take a beating if you are testing BEC this window. Not really, but there is a sizeable grain of truth to it.

    Let see. Will begin with good news: W/C were all BEC related, super easy, allowed 1 hr, was done in 45 min including proof reading. Test completed with 11 min left overall. Testlet #1 very doable, great.

    Not so great news: Testlet 2 and partially Testlet #3 would not be helped even if I studied another 2 months!!!

    For those that don't know, I studied with Becker and did 24 hr Wiley pounded hundreds of questions and got very decent grades on both Becker and Wiley.

    Without any disclosure violating, MCQ were not at even near what I have reviewed. No, they were from particular course that is not related to accounting and course that I took and excelled in and was still guessing left and right b/c many would not come out even close to provided answers.

    Overall, I think I have good chance of passing but absolutely no idea of how well I've done given the amount of straight up guessing on Testlets 2 & 3. Just thinking about MCQ being 85%, that is a lot of weight.

    Wish me luck people, hopefully I passed and can move on with life!

    BEC is such a crapshoot!!! Considering the amount of cross over material between BEC, Audit, and FAR I am sure you did better than you think!!! On the bright side, it is OVER and you are free from studying until 9/9, after which you will be done forever!!!!! 🙂

    REG: 75 DONE 🙂
    AUD: 61, 71, 68, 92 DONE 🙂
    BEC: 76 DONE 🙂
    FAR: 72, 74, 79 DONE 🙂

    Thanks Mints! It feels great to actually go out and eat tonight and have ability to watch a movie or just sleep in, priceless! What are we putting ourselves thru, oye!

    Yup, i'm free till Sept 15 or 16th depending when Non-NASBA get theirs.

    If I ever have to retake this test, I definitely address area that was sling-shot at me today. If not this time, BEC will be conquered. No other options!

    @Mints,

    Good luck to your upcoming FAR. Let me reassure you that FAR sims are not be afraid off. This is the stuff that we all had seen at least before and/or able to figure out. Just calmly work out JEs and make sure dr = cr. and then, fill in. Best to you on 27th!

    How did I miss this post earlier? I was monitoring the board to see how you did. I'm 6 hours late to the party! I'm sure you passed! My exam was very similar. If testlet 3 was hard for you as well, that obviously means you did very well on testlet 2. Without a doubt, you passed!!! Congrats on being done!!!!

    CONGRATULATIONS BARELY!!!!!!!

    What an awesome BEC score, you really showed it who is boss, lol. And you are the B.O.S.S.

    Remember that as you work through AUD. You can do this. 🙂 Best wishes on your surgery too. I hope it's nothing too major, but as with all surgeries, take it easy afterword.

    Congratulations Seattle!!!

    I just know you are going to receive your final passing score in September.

    You have been such a great study buddy to so many people on this site. Probably more than you realize, because many aren't signed up or they don't post.

    I'm glad to see, even with a delay in testing date, you have finally sat for your final exam!!!!

    😀

    You deserve this pass, you have more than earned it.

    Please take good care of yourself and your health. You didn't work this hard to become a CPA then not be able to enjoy it.

    I bet your family is so very proud of you! No more studying in the closet, yay!!!!

    Congrats again, I'm excited for your score release!!!

    Aww, MCLKT! Welcome back!!! How is life post-exam had been?

    I so hope your prediction is correct and i'm done is September, thank you for kind words and encouragement!

    Let me tell you something. I had joined Another71 b/c of people like you that were taking this exam and persevering. One of the pivotal things read here was how you tackled your AUD retake, it is very inspiring!

    Thru-out my testing I always kept looking forward for honest & painful but true opinions that some posters and moderators including you provided.

    Very happy to hear from you, thanks for all support and your contributions to this site!!!

    @Barely, thanks, I'm inspired by your scores! How is that AUD coming up? Be on alert for A-3, I had to listen to it 3 times before it all sunk in. And about surgery, try to go easy about it and don't push yourself too hard.
