I took my first exam (BEC) on Weds and the score will not be released until May 24th. Should I move on to Audit or just wait?

Do NOT quit! There's more in you and if you quit you'll never see it. Show you that you can do it.

AUD Passed  78
BEC Passed  79
FAR Passed  77
REG Passed 76

I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.

[lolo]

@KGREEN37, Sure move on to AUD, by the time you will get your score and have the opportunity to sit for audit too…

AUD - 95
BEC - 87
FAR - 93
REG - 87

My nick name is Sunshine but the fact is that I have never been in touch with it since I started studying for this CPA exam. I KNOW It HURTS!

Move on for sure! time if too precious when you are studying for the exam. You could be half way done with Audit by the time score comes out. Pass or fail take the next section and retake the one you failed. Best of Luck!

BEC - 76
REG- 67, 85
AUD-63, 74, 80!!

3 down 1 more to go. BEC is on the Line 🙁

BEC- PASS

kgreen – depends on your strategy. some folks only take 1 section in a testing window. if that's you, then you can wait. if not, start studying for the next one then circle back if you the first one if you have to.

spartans – how's BEC? Reg forum isn't as fun as FAR, but the material is easier to digest. still hate it though, lol. i'm not even thinking about score release day for FAR… i know i failed.

I have always waited for the score for the previous because I was a strong believer that just get it done with rather than coming back… worked for me so far

During the wait period I would recommend you do NINJA MCQ so you get practice and if you don't pass you can retake beginning of the next window.

I move on. Statistically, it's a very very low chance that I pass all these exams the first go, but I try to have the mentality that I passed every time and go ahead to the next exam. Worst case scenario, I come back to the ones I failed after I tried every test once.

FAR - 75 (2/25/16)
AUD - 80 (4/8/16)
REG - 80 (6/10/16)
BEC - 79 (7/19/16)

You only get one shot with the spirit bomb.

Claudia, BEC is so much easier than FAR! Not a fan of cost but it is so much easier to understand and work on.

I don't believe in superstitions. I think my score will be the same no matter how I feel I did on the exam, and no matter how I approach the “down time” in between exams. I have never felt good enough coming out of a test to move on to the next one. I wait for my score and then either start over, or move on to the next section the day after seeing a passing or failing grade.

If I really feel terrible about it, I will work on MCs to keep everything fresh, but don't spend any more than an hour or so per day while I wait.

[pickanicken]

I wouldn't study until I got the score. I am completely incapable of trying to learn something new while I have that prior exam looming over me.

REG - 81
BEC - 83
AUD - 86
FAR - 78 (Done!)

[Knight4CPA]

Agreed. I usually schedule my exams so my wait time is small so the flip around isnt too bad

AUD: 70, 80✔ (Expires 1/18/2017 - / Ninja MCQ / CPAExcel MCQ)
REG: 61, 70, 75✔ (Expires 2017 - Ninja MCQ / CPAExcel MCQ)
BEC: 78✔(Expires 5/17/2017 - Ninja MCQ / Becker Flashcards / NinjaNotes)
FAR: 57 (just to get trigger time I scheduled 1 week after REG) Retake 5/13/16

[Trele6]

I work a funny schedule so I don't have an option of waiting. I have moved on after each test so far. If I find out while studying for this one that I failed FAR, I will sit for BEC and then cram for FAR for about two weeks and try to re-take it quickly.

Move on… Its always harder learning new material the first time as opposed to studying for a retake and you never know how long it will take to get comfortable with the material the first pass through…..
