hamcpa2018ParticipantScores are out in NJ! 4 out 4! I'm done! Peace!
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018ParticipantEven further away after my complete brain fart on the correct score release date. I took my test on the 21st of Jan and somehow convinced myself my target date was today. Totally freaked out when I didn't get my grade, thought Nasba was reviewing my BEC because I was on the 74/75 bubble. Well, no….lol….I have to wait until the 25th. I need a drink!

I Found the Secret… #2855976hamcpa2018ParticipantMrrGreene……you're my hero. (Ferris Bueller '86) You are absolutely correct that there is no magic formula.
P.S. Watch out, #1 might trigger some people on here…..:)
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018ParticipantDeep breath and a stiff drink. I'm sure you did great!
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018ParticipantS – A = Difference
P($) D x A quantity purchased
U(q) D x S price
R($) D x A hrs
E(hrs) D x S Wage rateExample: for material price variance
Standard price ($) – Actual Price ($) = Difference x A (A)ctual quantity purchased.Continue as noted.
Came in super helpful today during exam. No problem with variances on today's test.
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018ParticipantJust took BEC and I have no idea what I just took. This test was not representative of Ninja or Gleim. I used Gleim and Ninja to pass my other 3 sections. Besides the IT questions and the 1 variance sim, I would have bet the rest of the test was all pretest. Virtually no calculations and 85% of the cram (cost, finance, currency, ect) omitted from test. Guess I will be taking this again in January. (FAR expires 1/21 – fantastic!) What I cannot wrap my head around is this: it's one thing to take the test and bomb on topics that you saw/studied in the cram. It's another to bomb the test because you didn't see it in the cram. I agree with Orpheus, the ability to apply was irrelevant on this version of the test. Never had this problem before. I'm absolutely flabbergasted.
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018ParticipantI had the same situation in Audit. Didn't seem to mean anything.

You hit the nail right on the head with the big picture. Collect $200, pass go!
Faith in humanity, restored, lol.Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018Participant@Lindsey_p87 – sounds grueling and I am glad I don't have to interview today if your scenario is what is playing out on a daily basis. And I agree, it is not unreasonable to ask follow up questions. I will stop there though as I disagree with you, respectfully of course, on the big picture. Good luck with your last exam!
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018Participant@NYSCPA and @Jombe, I like where your heads are at! @NYSCPA – I agree that my vision may be myopic given my small firm status. I'm in Bergen County NJ – Northern NJ – 100K+, full benefit package and more to come once I get BEC out of the way and NJ finds themselves good and ready to issue a license. (average 5 months) Good luck building your practice!
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018ParticipantI'm with Tommy re: @NYSCPA……However, I’m a little bit perplexed by the lack of honesty, integrity and ethics in the responses to the OP. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but some posters responses read as if they are advocating for having no personal accountability in a profession that commands honesty, integrity and ethics. Final assessments such as that it was ultimately the interviewer’s fault for not vetting the prospective employee thoroughly is problemsome for me. The interview is a two-way street with responsibilities on both sides. Also, the original poster did not “technically” tell the truth. Doing “one S Corp 2 years ago and had no idea what I was doing”, does not give one leeway to proclaim, “I have some experience”. I’m not a real doctor but I play one on TV so….. The original poster simply erred in the interview by embellishing on a subject that became a harsh reality. This should be a learning experience of what not to do, not a free for all to dupe every future employer because the interviewer’s skills were not on point. Maybe at 41 years old and working my way up to manager since I was 20 and becoming a shareholder of an accounting firm has made me view this through a black and white lens with little tolerance for the OP fib. Food for thought – what if everybody here interviewed and hired OP and took, let's say for the sake of argument 1K, out of their pocket to pay OP. If you found out they couldn't do the job after telling you they could, would you blame yourself or would you say they lied to me? Sometimes it helps to think of these things as if its coming out of your own pocket. After all that is what we do everyday, we step into the financial shoes of the client and guide as if it was our own $.
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018ParticipantOh, PC…there are so many problems with your post, lol….well off to study!
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018ParticipantI have 20+ years experience at a small accounting firm, 4 people small. I worked my behind off to get to where I am today. I understand where @Adam is coming from. I perhaps may have been less abrasive but the over all point @adam made was dead on. Perhaps you thought you could learn in the next three months and be proficient enough at the start of busy season and just did not think that the firm would have you participate in the corporate deadline, now 14 days away. See the manager, fess up and be more careful moving forward. Also, small firms are where you get the love and attention you need to grow and be proficient. You may not make the big bucks initially, but with hard work and time, you will get there. You're not a POS, you just made a tactical error. Live and learn.
Ever been so frustrated you skipped anger and went straight to laughing like a lunatic...........hamcpa2018ParticipantCongrats to everyone who passed. To those who didn’t….it’s ok. We all sacrificed something for these study sessions. If you didn’t pass, double down, learn from it and kick ass going forward. Your efforts are not in vain, you live to fight another day. These tests are not a test of intelligence, they are a test of endurance. Keep on keepin on….
