    Yesterday I was sad and disappointed. Today I am angry. This 74 on REG feels so much worse than the 56 I got on my first FAR attempt. Take #2 on January 17.

    I just wanted to vent. 🙂

    There was a great post a few years ago about getting “angry” at the exam. I think it was my MCLKT (AUD – How I Earned 24 Additional Points) – I tried to find it but the only link I can come up with doesn't have the post. It might have gotten lost in the forum transition. Jeff – any way of recovering that? Might help inspire the OP. 🙂

    REG was my last exam and I got a 74 the first time I took it as well. Angry was definitely one of the emotions I felt. It was brutal, and I couldn't believe I really got a 74 like I didn't think it would actually happen to me especially on my last exam. I'm pretty sure I made a post after it, about how devastated and miserable I am, etc. Looking back on it, its funny, but venting on here was actually very helpful at the time. Nothing wrong with venting, thats one of the great perks of this forum. You've already scheduled your retake, I think that is huge. Shows that you're ready to focus and send it home next time – I'm sure you will pass.

    I was so angry when I got my failing BEC score I wanted to punch something (and I am not a violent person)- venting on here definitely helped because honestly my husband and friends could not understand why I was so angry / where my anger was coming from. Hang in there and use that anger to knock the crap out of it next time.

    And they ask me why I drink

    and they ask me why I drink...

    FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
    REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
    BEC- 8/11
    AUD- 9/2

    I passed anger. I want cold, calculated revenge on this exam. I frighten myself a little sometimes. lol

    My first exam was REG with a 74. I feel like they give out more 74s with that exam than others…

    I feel everyone's pain here. I honestly can't believe I got a 74 on BEC. This was supposed to be my last exam ever!! The worst thing is, my early/mid-year promotion to Senior was contingent on passing. So frustrating!!!

    All we can do now is pick ourselves up and crush the next exam!!!!! Let's do this!!!!!!
