74

14 CommentsMarch 14, 2008 My REG Experience

I scored a 74 on the CPA Exam and all I got was this lousy FAIL letter.

I scored a 74 on the CPA Exam. It felt like a 44.

Does a more gut-wrenching number exist?

    Quite frankly, I would rather get a 64 than 74. That way, I know for sure that I hadn’t studied enough and it’s not so painful to swallow.

    I just took the Financial Section and also received a 74. It’s a punch in the face isn’t it.

    A 65 would hurt less in my opinion.

    Seeing the 74. The feeling of your whole body going numb The anger, resentment and then there is the embarrassment of having to tell people who think you will blow it away. Having scored 85 and 90's on all my test practice questions what else could I do!!!!!….a 74 was almost more than I could take. I thank Jeff for this web site. Hopefully I can stop grieving. Hopefully I can stop the self abuse. I think I am an idiot now!!!! Unfortunately I do NOT think I am soooooo close. The difference between a 74 and 75 is monumental. If it sounds like I am bitter IT?S BECAUSE I AM!!!!

    I just got a 74 on Reg! I thought things like that didnt’ exist on the CPA exam. Maybe it’s a money racket?
