I'm going to start BEC this week. I figured with Christmas coming up I would start early that way if I fall behind I'm already ahead. What's everyone else's plan?

Since 2008....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!)
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011)
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73 - Rematch scheduled on May 29, 2012
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70 (Are you kidding me?????) - July 17th, 2012 -> Rematch!!

I WILL BECOME A CPA IN 2012!!!

@75

Good luck with REG!

Hey everybody....looks like I am back in the mix again. I got my bad news this morning on REG: 72. I am waiting for my hubby to leave on a business trip tomorrow and then have myself a good cry.....all week. Didn't tell my hubby, don't really want to tell anyone I failed again. My confidence is shot, well, whatever I had is escaping me right now. I will start tomorrow, just need to regroup today. I need to get a game plan.

Finish strong guys---I know that you are pooped, but keep it up, so that you can get good news down the road!

Yankee, cheer up! You were really close. You'll kill it next time!

Imagine me, starting from zero. I just hope that REG won't be harder than FAR for me.

Finally a CPA :)

Just had a chance to sit down and start with BEC. Don't you hate when you make a special trip to Walmart for something and they don't have it?!?!?!?! That was me tonight, I made a special trip to Walmart without the girls looking for a toddler table and chair set and they didn't have it in stock. Anyways, BEC and I have a date tonight.

I just was helping my daughter with her second grade homework. I'm not sure if I would rather do CPA review homework or second grade homework. Her homework was a bit tricky. I don't remember second grade being like that!!!

Happy Friday to you all!! I have been pretty MIA for a few days, I have been enjoying some non-CPA time. :) But starting today I will work on my plan of attack for my next test and the fun begins tomorrow. I am pretty sure I did not pass FAR so I think I will be taking on both FAR and AUD at the same time. I feel they have similar material and I feel I have made real good progress with FAR but I do not need all of December to study for it so I am going to try both sections. I am not sure how this will go but I have asked the hubby if he is okay being in charge of things for the next 6 weeks so I can see if I can do this. If it doesn't seem possible then I will just push AUD out.

FAR - 5/31

@Pacific1
I was pretty sure I failed and I ended up passing...and many people have had the same thing - so there's a decent chance you may have passed...I hope you did!!

For whoever's studying - good luck!
I hope you have a relaxing weekend!

....Passed....
FAR - April '11
AUD - May '11
REG - July '11

Hey guys!

Not studying this weekend, I will start my battle against REG on Monday, just wanted to stop by and say have a good productive weekend to those of you hitting the books.

I will see you guys Monday. FYI: did anybody else get an email from cpareviewforfree? They are starting a new sim testbank...$9.99 for each indiviudal section. About $32 for all 4. I am thinking of getting it (this is about all my budget can handle!!) since the sims is what got me a failing score in REG.

Have a good one!

@yankee - I did get that email, I am thinking about checking it out as well, for that price why not?? I really struggle with SIMS.
