    I will be 100% honest with this.

    After I failed FAR I really wanted to stop taking exams altogether. The thought of having to study for FAR again depressed the hell out of me. I had already started studying for AUD before my score for FAR was released so by the time I found out I had failed I was halfway through AUD and figured I’d give it a shot since #1 I paid for it and #2 it was coming easy to me.

    I have a lot going on in my personal life right now as I am engaged, planning/paying for our wedding, we just bought our 1st home and we are remodeling it, top to bottom! Then I also start this new job in public accounting at the end of the month. I have had some other personal stresses lately and everything just really pushed me too far.

    I made a decision Wednesday night that I had had enough and AUD would be the last exam I took. I told myself that I didn’t care enough about this to keep being so miserable and I had so much other stuff I needed to focus on. I didn’t study at all Thursday, and today before my exam I skimmed a few notes and said screw it and headed over.

    I walked in with a smile bc mentally I thought this was it, when I walk out I am FREE! The process was 100% smoother than last time when everything went wrong from the door. I was upbeat, smiling and had no stress bc pass or fail I was done. I started the exam and the 1st testlet wasn’t bad…the 2nd one DEF harder and confusing and the 3rd Id say was moderate.

    The we get to the SIMS which I dread…and out of 7 there were only 1 I wasn’t 100% confident on. I had 2 research questions so I assume 1 of them will get thrown out. I finished with 1.5 hours left…I didn’t rush…I just went about my business as I saw fit and I didn’t stress over every question.

    I walked out smiling just as I had when I walked in. I said to myself in the elevator…I think I actually could have just passed that exam lol. I won’t find out score until beg of next month.

    There is still a HUGE part of me that just wants to stop….but the tiniest piece of me keeps glancing at my REG book wondering if I should give that one a shot…I had intended to read the tax sections of the REG book anyways just for my own knowledge and to better assist me with my new job but now I wonder.

    I wonder if that 2% will change my mindset.

    For now I intend to take the month off and relax before work.

    You're reminding me of my current situation right now, but before getting FAR score.

    Hmm, so what you're saying is, if you past AUD, you're going to continue right? 🙂

    There's always the choice to only take 1 section per test window.

    FAR - 62 (10/2/13), 50 (5/30/14)
    AUD - 73 (10/30/13), 66 (5/6/14)
    REG - 69 (4/8/14)
    BEC - 66 (2/27/13), 73 (4/21/14)

    @KADFC ahhh we shall see how I do…I think taking this time off right now until scores will help me mentally. I have been non-stop for so long now I can't even remember when I wasn't studying or in school. Accounting is my 2nd degree so yeah lol to say I am burnt out would probably be an understatement at this point lol

    Until then I plan to read the NINJA Notes for Reg at my leisure and see what happens 🙂

    Good idea about the one test per window 🙂
