I took my FAR test last week, and overall I think it went OK with just a couple of rough spots. Typically my hardest area is the simulations mostly because I feel like I always get them on really random topics. This time they seemed more in line with what I had studied.

My concentration was kind of thrown during the test because they decided to have a fire drill at the Prometric site!! They turned off the alarm after about 30 seconds but couldn't manage to turn off the flashing light right in front of me!!

So now I am playing the waiting game … I have taken REG & FAR this testing window. These were my last two tests, so I am crossing my fingers that in September I will find out that I will have passed the CPA exam!

But now it is time for a vacation!! I will be crossing my fingers for all of you while you are getting closer to passing the CPA exam too!
