@KasiaS and all other members of the Red Panty Revolution listen up!!!
I think everyone should don his/her red panties/briefs in solidarity ! Come on, it makes sense, it seems only fitting that we put them on while awaiting scores. Full circle and all that........doesn't that make sense?????
Who's with me???? (....anyone....???) LOL!

Haha, well what would a Red Panty Revolution be without the one who started it all on here! Count me in! I'll be sporting my signature reds this Wednesday to give all of our scores bonus points :)
What a fantastic idea Yankee!

Count me in!
Let's not forget to share our score results here. Mine will be out on 8th, CA is not Nasba state and it takes 24 hours to get score. No complains though, especially when I read about TX and snail msil states. I shall wear red panties on 7th and 8th.

@RedRage00, I think you should make a panty run. I'm not sure this magic extends much beyond the underwear department but I'll be rooting for you anyway :)

@MOMCPA2B, the actual ritual is to wear the red panties to your exam. Yankee just extended that ritual to the score release. You can learn all about this magic in the below thread :)

loving this thread.
you guys are hilarious...! who said accountants are boring ?...here is a proof that they can be so much fun too!
@KasiaS
How did u like the NIU cpareview correspondence for REG? I was considering myself...not sure at this moment. Can you please give me some insights. Is it comparable to real exams? How do you like it? Anything will be helpful !
Thank you in advance!

@cpamust: I sing NIU's praises every chance I get! I've used the correspondence CPA review for all 4 sections and you can see the results in my signature. I think the review is worth every single penny that I invested in the course. With REG, you get handouts that were very well written by the NIU professors containing only the information you need to pass the section without any unnecessary fillers. You also get 14 lectures (each approx. 3 hours long) - it's daunting I know, but each lecture is valuable. The professors are pretty dynamic so it's not hard to get through the lectures.
I felt very prepared going into each exam exept for REG, but only because I don't think I gave myself enough time to properly review the materials especially since I'm not a tax person. As for comparison to the real exam, I think it was true to the exam. Some of the practice SIMs that the professors wrote were actually much harder and more involved than the exam but it made me more comfortable when I worked the real SIMs. I hope this helps, feel free to ask any questions!

@amp712, you should keep the same pair to make them more "magical" lol And I hate to say it but I feel like I'm a lot more anxious waiting for my last score than I was for my first. Then again, every score release is nerve-wracking.

LOL!!!
I love everyone's enthusiasm. This is awesome :) Get your laundry done, so you can don your "red" tomorrow!
Thanks to Kasia for sharing your heritage with all of us. If I were still in Chicago, I would go full board and get a raspberry kolachky just for good measure!
Best of luck to everybody !!!!!!

I just wanted to let KasiaS that I am firm believer in her tradition! I ran out and bought the red panties because I would be willing to try almost anything to pass. AND GUESS WHAT...I finally passed my first section! Those red panties are now sacred and will be worn for every exam!! Here's to finally completing this journey in 2012! Thank you soooooo much for sharing!

@amp712, thanks, I'm truly hoping this will be the end of the CPA road for me. Right now, all my eggs are in the red panty basket since I didn't feel so hot about my performance after finishing REG. The only thing keeping my mind off the scores is The Hunger Games. What an incredible read!!!
@Mom2two, I'm so happy for your first pass and it's wonderful to hear that the red panties played a role! I've been using this since high school and I never failed an exam!
I might do what Yankee said and frame those suckers after I pass the last section!
@Yankee & everyone else, I'm more than happy to share this tradition with you. Thank you for making it the hit is has become! My mom couldn't stop laughing when I told her about the Red Panty Revolution. She's the one that taught me about this charm.

This post caught my attention via facebook. It made me laugh, so I thought I would help out all of your causes - see the non-official "score day" red panty at the link below:

@KasiaS
Thank you so much for your quick and detailed response. Whatever you said and your scores are good enough for me. Also, I am convinced that you see passing score for the REG.
The reason I hesitated earlier, someone (don't remember) said they failed after taking NIU cpareview courses and it was not good enough.
I guess, it will differ from person to person.
@David1985
U are too funny...!
The closer the date 7 and 8, I am getting so nervous, and I feel sick to my stomach.
God let me see the Passing score for FAR. Good Luck to U, Me and All !
Thank you.

I do not own red panties nor a red bra but I would be willing to wear a red turtleneck, red socks and dye my hair red if I thought it would help! Hell I'd go commando if it meant a 75! I still can't believe they are going to release scores tomorrow, but I guess I'll believe it when I see it! Good Luck everyone

@weed74, too funny!!! I'm buying that pair regardless. The memories attached to this story are priceless.
@cpamust, it's all about what you put into it, but I firmly believe that if you follow the NIU formula (listen to all lectures, read materials, work all problems in handouts and quizzes on blackboard, and reread materials) you are nearly guaranteed a passing score.
