Please share your stories. I took REG at the end of May and I am sure I failed as I had a very limited knowledge of taxation and the test concentrated specifically on taxes so I had to guess too many MCQs and also all of the SIMs except for the research questions. I am sure I did not pass.

FAR - 89
AUD - 84
BEC - 84
REG - 49, 86
ETHICS - 96........ DONE!!!

I took mine in the beginning of January 2014. I didn't study much of the business law / check writing stuff so had to guess on most of those. There were 2 sims that I 100% guessed on every single answer (had to insert numeric answers). Left the test center wondering when I was going to re-take the test because I thought there was a 100% certainty that I failed.

Checked my score on score release day to see how bad I did….ended up getting an 81….WTF? LOLLLLLLLLL. Happiest weekend of my life. Seahawks won the Super Bowl and then I found out the next morning that I passed REG and had only 1 test left to go to start busy season. 🙂

I took REG for the 3rd time on 4/12. Felt absolutely miserable after the test. Didn't think it got harder as I progressed, but ended up with an 82.

@gor,

I also took REG during this past testing window, and I'm right there with you. The questions were definitely harder between testlets 1 & 2, but no clue on T3. they seemed to be more difficult than T1, but it's a complete crapshoot. I know I made some dumb, ticky tacky mistakes on basic stuff and am worried that this go round won't be a winner for me. I'm hoping like others have mentioned to see a magic number on Friday, but I don't feel very good about it.

All the best.

I'd be surprised if I received credit for 30% of the simulations. So many spots filled in with “0”… MC wasn't exactly a morale-booster, either. Had no hope for passing until I woke up a week later on Friday morning feeling anxious to check the score that evening. Guess I did something right! I wonder what my score would have been if had left questions blank instead of entering a zero. Wonder if it made a difference.

My problem is that I am really scared about REG. I never really had any knowledge of taxation and now that I am going through the Wiley book I am terrified with how many little things I have to remember. I never thought that REG will be the hardest part for me. I have no idea how I am going to retake the exam. I still need to finish half of the book and my study speed is like 1 page an hour, I have to re-read everything 10-15 times, every freaking sentence. And then I don't remember anything the next day. I have no idea what is happening to me. So sick and tired of this exam.

FAR - 89
AUD - 84
BEC - 84
REG - 49, 86
ETHICS - 96........ DONE!!!

@gorbuha

Me too. I think I completely bombed simulations so I don't think I passed.

Let's see what happens on Friday.

FAR-82!
REG-82 Again!
BEC-78!
AUD-84!

Done with the exam and LICENSED in VA as of 11/17/2015.

I know i bombed law/ethic questions + simulations. Tax MCQ I did decent on. We will see how my grade is but I think it can go either way depending on how much law is graded.

Why does everyone (including myself) who took REG at the end of May think they failed? Why did they make the test so brutal?!?!?! I couldn't believe what they were asking!

[katerina2665]

I took mine in middle of April (2nd time) I thought i failed 100%. There were questions Becker said you might have 1-2 if any on very limited topics, like 2-3 pages in the whole book, i ddnt even review them that much since on my 1st REG exam i had 0. And this time i had like 7-8, they really made me roll my eyes. I thought on around 30% of MCQs i was guessing, questions seemed long and hard. The sims i dont even remember much. I got my highest score yet – 83… I was really really surprised

I was having BEC two weeks before that and i thought really good, dare i say, i was thinking i might get in low 90s, questions were easy/medium and familiar and i knew i nailed 2 out of 3 WC and felt really confident. I got 79. I did pass, but i still dnt get how they grade.

Took reg in the end of may, second time after my first score was a 74. It was terrible, had the most remote exclusions I couldn't believe it. I felt like these questions were getting harder Bc I didn't know the answer not because they were necessarily tricky. I NEED to pass because I have spent so much time and money, and passing reg would get me half way. Makes me feel better that everyone else thought it was hard, as I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get enough points to pass. I don't know what to expect, I wouldn't be surprised with a 65 but praying I got at least one point better than last time!!

Katerina I basically got everythin right in BEC and got a 92(finished test in 2 hours) it's tought to score upwards of 80s in BEC

[never2lateinWA]

I took REG on the 29th and found it be incredibly brutal. The MCQ's were nit picky and the SIMS were all calculations. I'm really not sure how I could possibly pass. Hardest test I've taken so far, and the includes the 2 CMA exams I took last year. I'm really hoping to done on Friday, but am almost certain I'll be going at this one again. And I wondered what I'd be doing this summer…

FAR 1/4/14 88
BEC 2/27/14 93
AUD 4/14/14 86
REG 5/29/14 86

That's all Folks!!!
