   For this window, I'd like us to do the same as we did last window. Let's predict out score!

   I'll go first. For BEC, I'm predicting a score of 81.

   Oh gosh, I hope I won't jinx it by predicting a passing score, but compared to how I felt during the times I passed and failed, for some reason, I don't feel like I bombed BEC. I knew what I was doing 90% of the time throughout the exam. So, I'd be pretty annoyed to no end if I failed. There's a good chance that I could've screwed up a few questions, so that's why I'm not predicting a 90+ score. And besides, it's very rare that anyone scores in the 90s in BEC mainly because it's not curved much. But who knows.

   I'll post my REG prediction when I take it in 3 weeks.

   Anyways, what are your predictions for your Oct/Nov 2011 exams?

   FAR: 52, 66, 73, 61, 89
   AUD: 47, 87
   BEC: 80
   REG: 64, 74, 84
   
   DONE!!!!

   @mla1169- I doubt that will happen. You went up 22 points when you took AUD for the 2nd time. Let's assume you went up another 22 points. So there's a chance you probably scored a 93. :)

   FAR: 52, 66, 73, 61, 89
   AUD: 47, 87
   BEC: 80

   @mla, I agree with CPAman, you are selling yourself short!

   Not sure if I should predict my score. It's easier for you guys, "experienced CPA exam takers," as you have something to compare to... I usually prepare for the worst but hope for the best.
   Well, I'd say 83 on BEC for a number of reasons : 1) I felt well prepared and knew the material; 2) nobody has predicted an 83 here yet; 3) I REALLY WANT IT TO BE 83!

   BEC - 10/12/2011 - 78
   AUD - 11/23/2011 - 84
   FAR - 02/22/2012

   @shellgirl- Yeah, I think I jinxed it with my prediction and because of that, I may end up getting that infamous 74! A lot of people are saying that BEC is curved very differently than the other 3, so there is a chance that I could be way off in my prediction and end up failing. This is my first time taking BEC, so I have no idea how it's graded.

   FAR: 52, 66, 73, 61, 89

    I'm going to be optimistic and predict 85 for AUD mainly because I felt much better walking out of AUD than I did BEC but was not as prepared as I was for FAR. Hopefully I'm right! We'll know in a few days hopefully assuming the AICPA pulls through and meets the goal dates.

    @altlery, shellgirl, and CPAMan, don't sell yourselves short on BEC. I think it's more curved than the others because I predicted a 75 last score release and got an 83. The only reason I even put a 75 was because I didn't even want to entertain the idea of failing.

    Good luck to everyone with score releases this week! I hope we all report back higher scores than predicted!

    thanks ipass and cpaman. Let me wallow. Last window I predicted a 78 on AUD but ended up with a 71. The only test I was every 100% CONVINCED I failed was FAR, which was my highest score to date. So going with my very faulty self evaluation skills, the worse I "think" I did may just be the best in the long run.

    Wouldn't it be hysterical if this were my higest of scores?

    that's what he/she is predicting as their score, what's wrong with that? I myself am predicting no higher than a 60 on REG so what's the problem here? The title doesn't say "predict your score only if you think you passed"

    Also besides the use of the word rape, there was nothing else really wrong with that post.

    @good - The first part of my post I was honestly inquiring why she was hoping this thread would be created. Nothing wrong at all with predicting non-passing scores. I just found it odd that she was "hoping" this thread would be created, but then put two failing scores down. If I thought I failed both exams, I wouldn't exactly be thrilled to predict my failing scores on a new thread. You are also welcome to post a 60 as your prediction. Were you hoping this thread was created? Probably not.

    Regarding my second comment, did you think I was referring to anything else? I didnt say anything was wrong with her post other than the way she described how she felt after her exam.

    I was hoping that it would be started because I enjoyed looking back and seeing how well folks guessed compared to what they actually scored. If felt I fail so be it! there is nothing wrong with that. If I passed then YESSSS but I doubt it. It is my own opinion. What is wrong with the word raped and bamboozled. Should I use cheated, highly tested my a$$, violated??? they all mean the same. It is great that you have passed your exam on the first try but not everyone can do that.

    I took REG on October 13, and I didn't feel great about it. But I also didn't feel great about FAR and that turned out ok. I'm predicting a 78. I'll be taking BEC on November 17, and let's just say if my performance on lecture 1 MCQs is any indication, I will be working to bring the pass rates for BEC back down to where the AICPA probably wants them.

    Well for those of you worried about Audit. I felt that the exam was extremely hard. I didn't even know how to answer the simulations completely. I either got a lot of partial credit or had a good number of thrown out questions. So if you feel horrible about audit, I wouldn't worry. I think that's a general consensus and a lot of people pass after feeling that way.

    As for this quarter, I predict somewhere in the 75 to 80 range for FAR. Before going into the exam I almost gave up. I wasn't retaining anything but decided to take the exam in hopes that by some miracle I'd pass. The exam went a lot better than I expected but was still very challenging. I'm hoping I pulled off at least a 75. I don't have the patience to restudy that material.

    I take REG on Nov. 30. So far my studying is going well. It seems to be my easiest topic so far, probably because I work in tax and am one of those nerds that enjoys tax. I'm only at chapter 3 of my Becker material but so far I think I should come out of that exam with an 80 to 85. haha high hopes there!

    Good luck to everyone testing. Hopefully we'll all get passing scores to celebrate about.

    AUD(7/7/11)- 82

    @Peanut- That sounds like a pass! When I took FAR, I was literally dancing through the First Testlet. I knew what I was doing and knew that I got more than 20 questions right on the first testlet. I was even saying to myself, "Wow! I'm so going to kick butt on this." Then Testlet 2 came along and I'm like, "Am I taking the same test??" The questions made me want to bang my head against the wall. I got a bunch of foreign questions and ton of other calculation questions that took several steps in order to solve. Here I was dancing in the beginning of the exam, but when the exam ended, I felt a bit depressed. I knew I couldn't have bombed because I knew I kicked butt on the first testlet, but then again, due to the difficulty in testlets 2 and 3, I started to feel that there might be a slight possibility that I could've failed by a few points. But I ended up with an 89. That proves the difficult testlets are insanely curved.

    As for AUD, while I did feel the testlets getting a tad bit harder, it didn't seem to get as significantly harder as FAR did.

    Felt so good about BEC before I found out the scores were coming so soon.... 72? It was my first one after all.

    BEC - 79
    FAR - TBD
    AUD - Jan 2012
    REG - Feb 2012

    So I was a little off on my prediction... I guessed 85 and got an 81 for AUD.

    Now on to tackle REG!

    FAR 88 (07/15/11)
    BEC 83 (08/31/11)
    AUD 81 (10/15/11)
    REG 83 (11/26/11)

    Same FAR-experience here. I even thought about not going and went only to see how it is and then I passed!

    My predictions for AUD are 67-82 =D
    Sadly, I'll be in the second wave.

    Finally a CPA :)
