    Hey all i just got my grade for reg which was a 70, and i took it on May 4th. My becker materials have expired, and was wondering what I should do with my awesome ninja stuff. I want to take the reg test again first week in July. I recall a lot of the stuff from when I studied. Would be worth it to read the whole textbook then do the mcq or go straight into the MCQ as I have 1 month or so to study. Advice is needed here

    BEC: Need to pass, lost creedit.
    FAR: Need to pass. MY MOUNT EVEREST
    Reg: Need to pass, lost creedit.
    AUD:ย  Need to pass, lost creedit.

    BEC: 75 lost credit, could not pass far ๐Ÿ™
    AUD: 76 lost credit could not pass far ๐Ÿ™
    FAR: 74, FML. Next exam 06/14/23
    REG: 75 lost credit could not pass far ๐Ÿ™

    @drichter321

    Becker's could extend you up to 90 days to the software from the original expiration date, just try to contact them. Ninjas MC's are great and you can also reference the textbook for the weak areas. Just try to do as many mc's as possible.

    REG-EXPIRED 11/2013 (1x)

    AUD-PASSED 02/2015 (2x)

    BEC-PASSED 08/2014 (3x)

    FAR- 70 Retake 07/15 (1x)

    Good luck studying!!!

    drichter321,you should try to get Becker to extend you up to 90 days like makiu suggested, and please stop jumping from part to part. Leave that to the individuals who want to pass all 4 parts in one window (the chosen few). Regular guys like you and me need to concentrate on one part at a time until we pass it, and then jump to the next one. Focus in one thing only cause this multi tasking is killing you.

    Looking at your grades, are you sure you're giving yourself enough time to study?

    -----------------------------
    BEC - 77, 03/2015 (first try)
    FAR - 79, 05/2015 (second try)
    REG - 83, 12/2015 (first try)
    AUD - 84, 03/2015 (first try)

    I got 99 problems but the CPA ain't one.

    My Roger course is expiring soon. Should I spend the money to extend it or should I purchase the NINJA course? I have REG and AUD left to pass. I already have purchased the NINJA notes, audio, and flashcards for both. I also have a month or 2 left on my AUD MCQ.

    Member,

    I went from 72 to 82 in Audit thanks to Roger and Ninja mc. Rogers test bank is the worst I have seen thus far,but his Audit lectures are priceless if you take notes of what he says. What was your average on Ninja before you got a 63? My average was 74 when I got the 72 and then 84 when I received the 82 on actual exam.Ninja MC questions for Audit are harder than WTB and Becker.

    golfball7773, you are very close to passing everything,but let me give you the same advice I gave the OP. Pick one of the 3 and concentrate on it until you pass it unless you are close to losing a credit.

    @Martin My NINJA MCQ average was a 64%, so it was pretty spot on. I knew I wasn't ready for the test, but my NTS was expiring so I had to take it before I was ready. I definitely agree that the Roger MCQ sucks!

    I accidentally hit the HiYa! on a few posts. Don't know how that happened, but they can't be removed :-/

    That is what I am doing now but I am taking AUD now for 2 reasons:

    I wanted to fit another exam in this window and my AUD NTS expired at the end of May…….

    The good thing about jumping around like that is that after many tries you might end up passing two parts in one window, and then you have 18 months to pass the other parts you have already taken,so now that I think about it is not as bad as I thought before. The only problem is that you end up feeling discourage and that might hinder your performance in other exams. I have passed FAR and Audit byt just concentrating in one part at a time,but now I'm rushing with the other 2 as FAR expires on Feb 28,2016. I guess both ways of taking this 4-part exam have pros and cons
