I passed REG and BEC in one testing window, and thought that this CPA exam thing isn’t as bad as they say. No problems, I can do this.

Then I got sick with a spinal infection. Five months in and out of the hospital, two surgeries, two months of physical therapy in the middle of tax season learning to walk again without a walker or cane. That slowed me down a bit…..

Failed FAR and AUD a couple of times. I thought, I still have time, I still have a couple of windows, it will be ok.

Then I got pregnant, and sleepy, and my brain is fuzzy and won’t hold information. So I studied harder, and thought I’ll be able to get it anyway. And I failed AUD and FAR again.

So I have AUD scheduled to test in early January. But even if I pass AUD this time, I won’t have time to retake FAR before REG expires on January 11th, and absolutely no way I can redo both REG and FAR before BEC expires on Feb 29th. So best case I’ll be down to one test passed, and with how my luck is going, I’ll be back to zero.

Someone say something nice? Or encouraging?

These tests are not life or death, your health is. If you can come back from what you've faced health wise, have a healthy baby, theres nothing that can keep you down. Setbacks happen, and you roll with them. Your priorities are exactly what they should be–health, family THEN career.

Keep going, the only way to fail is to quit.

Its a marathon. You will do fine. See my scores above. I just passed today. If I can do it, you can do it. Believe in yourself.

Not even sure this is possible…but have you thought about contacting your state board to see if you could request an extension due to these hardships?

CPA exam is a war. You might lose few battles, but you will win the war! Never give up!

Thank you all for the encouragement. I will pass them all eventually. Its just hard going from half done to nothing. But my firm is supportive, and not putting pressure on me. So I will get it all eventually.
