    Done! 8 months of anxiety all worth it. So glad I was able to pass all the first time. The perseverance of some of the people on here is inspiring.

    I've been studying for 1 year, 8 months, and 22 days. Took the slow route, but it's over with a 12 point jump in BEC. Bye, Felicia.

    And with a 97 on BEC I'm done. One year, three months and 10 days after I started on this grueling task its officially completed. In that time my old company got bought out, my wife got pregnant and gave birth to a healthy son and I now own a home. And for the first weekend in a very long time I'm going to relax, sit back, look around, and enjoy this new life of mine that I've barely known since starting this journey. To those who are still working towards the goal I can only give you the same advice you've heard 100 times before because its true. The CPA Exam is not a test of intelligence; you were smart enough to earn a BS in accounting, you're smart enough to pass the exam. It is a test of discipline, if you study a couple hundred hours for each section in a disciplined focused manner you will pass.

    Congratulations to everyone who passed.

    Because this entire process has been long, I like to at least control when I look at scores so I decided ahead of time not to look at my score until a few days later. When I did I finally passed my final exam – REG – and I am done with the exam part of the CPA journey. I hoped that this was the end, as I didn't want to come up against the wire of my BEC expiring. Thankfully I made it with one quarter to spare. I just cannot believe I am done; it honestly hasn't sunk in and probably won't for a while.

    If it helps give someone hope, here's my story in brief. I had NO idea how hard this journey would be. Between being unprepared (1st exam) and the horribly long delays last year, I honestly wanted to quit. I passed 1 exam of the first 5 I took. It took me 9 months to hear another passing score, but then I passed my remaining two in the next 5 months after that. It took me a long time to find my stride and I never thought this process would be this hard. But as others have said it is not a test of intelligence – but definitely a test of will and endurance. I kept saying this will be one of the hardest things to go through until I pass and then I knew it would feel like the best experience. It was hard. It was humbling. I am so thankful to my family and friends for everything this last year and a half when my life was on hold to study. I am looking forward to time with them, losing the 20 lbs I put on due to the stress of this exam, and reading books for fun.

    Congratulations to all those who passed! Those that didn't, if this is something you truly want, please keep going. I almost quit twice last year; I'm glad I stuck it through. There is a light at the end. Thanks to Jeff and the support of this board which made me feel less alone in what can feel like an incredibly isolating journey.

    Jumped 11 points on my FAR retake and with that, I can FINALLY say I'm done! Thank you Jeff and the Ninja community for all the support along the way. It's been a long journey with some major major curveballs along the way but it's all worth it now. I'm glad it's over. Congratulations to everyone that passed and for those that didn't, please keep at it and don't give up.

    I passed FAR and I'm finished (minus that pesky ethics exam – thanks MD). It took 2 years of studying and 10 exams in total but I didn't lose one to expiration (I took FAR on the day REG expired – whew).
    To all those reading this and need inspiration – it can happen to you too! Stick with it. I passed REG in 10/2016 and didn't pass another exam for 1 year! Then I passed 3 in the course of 7 months… I guess I work best under pressure

    @Pam and @ShruteBeet-congrats guys-I remember we would commiserate when I was studying for my FAR re-take… So happy to see your names on this thread!

    @anyavter, Yes!!! OMG… my buddy! I was too scared to look on 6/28 b/c my daughter had her post-op appt and was afraid if it was bad news then she would have bad news (b/c things happen in 3's like that). A coworkers saw the passing participants in MD and emailed me so that forced me to confirm

    @ShruteBee – did you just wing the ethics or did you read the book then take it? I want to be done and I don't want to waste time if it's pretty straight forward.
