    It's okay, I have to take the responsibility for it. I should have killed the exam not been near 75 but not quite close enough. I thought I was ready for the exam…well as ready as I possibly could have been in my head. I need to figure out how to learn this material and be able not to question whether I passed or not. I need to walk out knowing I killed it.

    I'm not sure what your financial situation is but the NIU Correspondence CPA Review is what I've been using and I think they do a spectacular job of preparing you for the exam if you're considering changing programs.

    Thanks guys…So there is one area I know I can improve and that's taking notes and rewriting the material. I get overwhelmed with rewriting the material I've highlighted/underlined because i feel like I'm wasting time. Then I just give up on that and do questions. I need to organize myself better I guess so I don't feel rushed.

    @keeptrying

    I am right with you on the studying process. I felt the same way with REG. I felt like I should keep doing mcq's that I didn't take the time to doing any rewriting of any notes. I took 2 days to rewrite notes on Audit, so I will see if that did the trick next week. I am still forming my plan for REG. I was thinking to begin my studying process with the rewriting of notes, that way I can start off with the hammering down of info before I hit the mcq's. Not sure if that is best. But at least in the beginning I don't feel as rushed so I was thinking that perhaps I would be more apt to “soak” in all that REG has to offer!

    I read on another thread what you wrote about the score report. I am also baffled by that info. Not that I question it as much as it is not a real help in determining how to plan the next attack. I feel like the score report could be used as a tool for candidates, but in the current format, it isn't much help. My last 70 on REG I was weaker in 4 areas on the mcq. This time I was weaker in only 1 but got a 72. Makes no sense to me as to how I can apply this to my studying plan. OIY!!!

    For me, I think the hardest part of getting a 72 is having to tell other people. Me, I feel like I can take it, but the thought of telling my hubby, friends, colleagues, recruiters–hell, just about anybody, that is what weighs on me most. So, I can relate to you having to speak with your boss. I am really sorry.

    Take care today…and let it all out.

    Regarding the score report, try to completely ignore your end score. If the report said you were weak in three areas, brush up on those areas. They probably won't appear on your next exam, but they might. Just don't let the AICPAs weird scoring system throw you off. Weaker in an area is weaker, period.
