I’m just curious, where they give us the option to write anything, I’m just wondering if anyone ever wrote something so bad and still passed. I’m sure they wouldn’t fail someone just for that, but just wondering.

I wouldn’t say what I wrote was bad, but I did let them know some questions were not in the study material.

AUD - July 2014 - 76
REG - August 2014 - 82
FAR - November 2014 - 78
BEC - January 2015 - 81

DONE!!!!

It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you're hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

Well those questions could have been in the material and you didn't remember it, or it was a pre-test question. Don't get snippy with them!

But seriously, I doubt it has anything to do with results.

I've criticized them and the testing center before and passed. And in true softball-superstition fashion, I did it again (just in case) and failed. So I'm gonna say it really doesn't matter

I always comment that the markers suck and I would much prefer pencils & paper. I still passed REG!

I'm pretty sure it would violate something if they failed you for being rude. In their defense though, they didn't sell you the study material. If the topic of those questions was covered in the CSO, then it is not the AICPA's fault.

LOL, I did the exact same thing ala72! I was soo pissed during my FAR exam I wanted to walk out. I actually threw my book when I got home. Needless to say I wrote them a nasty letter at the end of FAR, and I still passed. Didn't work for REG. :/

I appreciate your help…

I don't think I wrote that it wasn't in the material. I think I said something like it did not seem as relevant to the profession as some other items that could have been tested.

I didn't make it sound rude…I just want to pass REG so badly and move on…FAR is next on 11/22

I complain every time about the stupid markers and the lack of a real calculator.

I doubt they ever read it, so I'm sure they're not holding it against you.

If some of the questions weren't in the study material, your gripe is with the author of the study material, not the AICPA.

The test isn't geared toward the study material, its quite the other way around.

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

The feedback is not for the content of the exam, it is for the administration of the exam.

[How many letters do you need]

Haha it might not make a difference in your score but it wouldn't surprise me if you end up taking your exam in the first wave and have to wait until the second score release…

“Oh Hi NASBA….yes we found a test that got lost somewhere somehow wasn't submitted last month…”

MBA,CMA,CPA, CFF?, ABV?

I usually complain about something– not being able to use the scroll wheel on the mouse, not being about to use Ctrl+F to search, not being able to copy and paste, etc. It doesn't affect passing.

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)
