The feeling of failure

    I have come up short on this exam many times, but this time is different. I have 3 parts under my belt and I received a 73 on BEC this morning, 2 points shy of being a CPA. I feel like I want to throw up and I haven’t done a damn thing at work all day. The next time I take this exam, i’ll either be a CPA or I’ll be halfway done as I will lose credit for AUD. I know there are readers out there who have been in this boat, but I really wouldn’t wish this feeling on the devil. I’m getting down off my soapbox now, time to regroup and forge ahead. Congrats to all those who passed this time around

    You're so close man! Don't be discouraged! I know a lot of people (Like Myself) who would kill to be in your situation. You'll get it next time.

    You can do this!! I was in the same boat and by the grace of God I passed and didn't lose AUD. Take a day or so to regroup and get your feelings in order and then put together a game plan to pass!

    Florida:
    AUD: 73, 81! Thank you Lord!
    BEC: 73, 77! Thank you Lord! and WTB
    REG: 71, 82! Thank you Lord! and A71
    FAR: 72, 78! Thank you God and my Mommy in Heaven!

    The EXACT same thing happened to me this morning. Two points from being a CPA. Very devastating. All we can do is keep trying though I guess.

    Yuck, sorry. I got a 73 on AUD which was poised to be my final exam. I changed my approach, had only been using WTB+Ninja at the time and had my company buy Becker. Not sure what you're studying with, but maybe some different material might help things come together.
