I have already failed several exams and have yet to passed.

That has not discouraged me one bit. Not only that but i mostly have only AP experience. I am an EA however, with one tax season under my belt. To make matters worse, i lost my retail job. Am i sweating it HELL NO!

Why because I got goals, 3 actually. I intend to have 3 designations next to my name. The EA, CPA, and CMA as well as becoming either a Controller or CFO.

It’s what’s been driving me. Those three goals are whats driving me. When i am a CPA or in he process of becoming a CPA with a great job, i plan on rubbing it in the faces of my former managers and supervisors at my former retail job.

Plus you have to remember, we are intillegent and smart enough to not let these exams beat us. It’s why we do what we do.

So to all who have failed and thought about quitting, i say you guys need to take a moment and look at what your goals are again and use that as motivation and drive to continue pushing to pas those exams.

I agree, make a vision board, recall every situation you've been in that made you want to pursue being a CPA to have extra options or authority at work.

I can think of so many situations where i've been belittled, even sometimes i think unintentionally which is way worse. Some people naturally doubt you and assume you don't want anything more or have goals outside of your current position, *sigh*. i was done for the night studying but now i'm fired up again thinking about those situations haha

I actually planned on putting off the CPA exam until later this year, but when a boss pissed me off i ordered materials same day.

I agree Skynet. Once I get my CPA i will be having a party and send invitations to all of my former bosses. Just because I am a mom doesn't mean that I can't become a CPA. I just have to remember that no matter what challenges people put in front of me, I am doing this for me and the heck with all them. 🙂

@cpaherewego – Make sure the party is like the “Hangover Movie” That way you can take embarrassing photos to blackmail them later on. LOL!

@nicole2035 – Use those instances where you have been belittled to your advantage. It's good that you are FIRED UP now.

I see how posters here on this forum who have passed or are in the process of passing and it just continues to drive me. Posters like Baxter who have taken the exams GODS know how many time, but she passed. So I keep telling myself if she can pass, SO CAN I TOO!

Exactly- find your motivation and use it to help pass the exam. My motivation was getting away from a terrible boss who tolerated awful behavior from coworkers but that's another post.

Wishing all the best to current candidates on this site. 🙂
