    Everytime I hear that phrase I think of that Tom Petty song. One more week to get my FAR results. It will either be a Merry Christmas (I’ll be done!!) or a Blue Christmas, as I’ll have to retake FAR and AUD because of credit expiration.

    Nothing to do but wait and second guess myself.

    I studied this time around and this exam was HARD! Either I did well or just had no idea what I was doing.

    Tick, tock…

    Why are BEC passing rates so much higher than the rest? I'm taking BEC this Friday and I'm terrified of it!

    FAR - 81
    REG - 74, 87

    @Martin–That does not make me feel better at all. 51% pass rate for REG and Q4 is usually worse? Uggggg!

    @Determined–I did! I could always post under this ID in everything but the Study group so I've taken it back now that I am not posting in the study group anymore right now.

    Audit is the lowest because they throw in questions that the outrageously priced prep materials don't prepare you for! Still fuming.

    F-Pass
    A-Pass
    R-Pass
    B-Pass

    The pass rates have always hovered around 50%. Nothing new there. Not very comforting that they drop in the 4th window though…

    I asked prometric why NASBA does not give us our scores immediately. THan I thought about it logically and realized this would happen:)

    You guys got it. Confidence is the number 1 hurdle in my mind to pass the exam! The moment you doubt yourself the exam will eat you alive!!!

    I don't understand it. I mean, I studied this time around and the exam was a killer! Shouldn't it have been easier if I was prepared???

    From my experience, the two parts I left feeling most defeated with I got my highest passing scores. The two that I felt were easier I barely slid by on scores. I think the more challenging exams, though mentally draining, give more points for correct responses. I know with my experience I left all 4 parts with no clue if I passed, that to me is the most annoying feeling in the world.

    Agree with @Matthew.

    Also, there really is no gauge. I've taken parts and was sure I failed, and did. Then, I was sure I failed, and passed. I just don't think there's a way to really know until score release.

    Keep thinking positive thoughts!!
