I am beyond speechless. I’m done. Thought I failed REG. complete and utter disbelief right now. I don’t cry really but I teared up today when I found out I was done. I can’t stop looking at my score.

Thank you SO MUCH A71 and Jeff, this site had provided me with so much inspiration and support.

Good luck everyone and I know… If you have the determination, you WILL pass. If I can do it, you can too.

I'm so with you on this!!! I swore I failed BEC and still cannot believe it. The day I left exam, I immediately bought supplemental material for the retake. I have no clue how in the world this came to be, but I do believe in miracles now. Congrats and best of luck fellow CPA. It will take some days for all this all to sync in.

Same here, I keep going back to my nasba account to see all of my exams with passing scores!! Still in a bit of shock and disbelief. I truly was planning on a FAR retake in April before my BEC expired.

@bnr It's been over two weeks since I got my final score and I keep going back to the website just to make sure.

I also have framed the final score report I received in the mail from NASBA!

I feel i am free from Jail . and now i have so much free time , I dont know how to start regular life!! 🙂

I keep checking just to make sure that nothing has changed too! I'm totally freaked out! I keep asking myself “Is this real?” Now I completely understand what the inmates I released from jail felt like. I don't know what to do with myself. I've cleaned, crafted, played games on the internet and just about everything EXCEPT gather up the ton of books, notebooks, DVD's and flash drives. I keep telling myself “No, not yet, wait until you see the only number that counts.”

Hi Kricket:

Yes, I have not put my books and notes away yet. (I did print out my advisory score immediately, to make sure the passing score would not suddenly change, irrational as it is!).

I keep thinking about your recent posts about a sample CPA exam question with the answer choice E…After I stopped laughing, I began thinking that its quite ironic that CPA candidates actually learn to ‘make sense' out of questions like the one you posed and set out to answer them as if they are normal questions….A bit warped and strange but necessary to pass. Also, you rocked your last score with an 85 on FAR and perhaps that ‘snot ball of tissue' in some strange way allowed you to apply all your knowledge and ability to the test given the very maddening situation you found yourself in….Like you said getting mad can be a good thing! Congrats again!

@Krickett So I take it your house is now safe for the paramedics to come in if needed!!!

Still decompressing my self. My mom and dad gave me some money for passing and I just went and bought a $4,500 enetertainment center for $1,500:)

As for the stacks and stacks of study material. All gone. I did keep my books. You need to stack it all up, take a picture of it and then tell that pile of

I am trying to get used to all of this free time. The last year and a half has been non-stop studying. I am enjoying being done. I am still in shock.

I actually sat down for the first time tonight in over two and a half years and watched a tv program!

[mdrobbin]

@candothis… I haven't watched any sports in forever because of studying… Today I was able to watch my Hoosiers win and, unfortunately, a tough loss for the Blackhawks but it was GREAT relaxing and watching some TV for once. I went out drinking last night and saw friends I haven't seen in months… Some I haven't seen in over a year.

This feels so strange… Greatest feeling to be done!!!!!

I'm laughing outloud while reading these posts, just because I am sharing your joy and happiness. And because I am in the same boat. I have passed my last exam for a couple of months now and I am still a bit lost with all these free time i have. I guess I could join a gym and get rid of these weights i have put on myself from CPA stress and not have time to work out over the last one year.

Congrats everyone! Passing the CPA is the greatest feeling in the world!
