I am so disappointed. I took FAR and passed the first time two years ago, but it took me 3 tries to pass REG, the finance killed me, so FAR expired and today I failed for the second time. I know I failed because I didn’t finish two parts of the final SIM. Why the heck would they ask me to research what revenue electric companies can exclude? Who excludes revenue? I wasted too much time trying to find the answer to that craziness and I never found the answer. I did not have enough time to finish. I know the answers, but I am almost 60 years old and it takes me a minute to think. I can’t memorize, I have to know it. I ask dying here thinking about studying for this AGAIN. I want this misery to be over. It is incredibly difficult to work 7 days a week and study for this test. I don’t have an easy job. I really work for a living. I can’t believe I have to study AGAIN. I just wanted to read a book I actually enjoy.I just wanted to go on a date. But… I have no life but this crap. I refuse to give up because my closest friends are CPA’s, although they tell me that they couldn’t pass today’s test. I had an entire SIM on IFRS. What the crap was that about? Thank you for allowing me to vent to someone who understands my pain. My brothers ask, “what is the CPA again?” My daughters ask, “are you still taking that test?” They have no idea how miserable I am. I guess I am like the folks who die climbing Kilimanjaro. I can’t quit.
