I scored a 74 on the CPA Exam and all I got was this lousy FAIL letter. It felt like a 44.
Does a more gut-wrenching number exist?
74

REGULATOR.
By Jeff Elliott, CPA June 9, 2016I knew coming out of the exam that I had passed, but I didn’t expect this. I’m paranoid so I’m whiting out my info until I have my certificate in hand. Thank you GOD. Update: I got my paper confirmation on September 22 – a timely six days after my score appeared online.
REG: Not So Bad (if you study)
By Jeff Elliott, CPA June 11, 2016Today’s testing experience was a great success, I think. I was better prepared than I’ve been for any section I’ve taken (and passed) and I felt like I knew most of the answers – even the exception to the exception questions where the obvious answer was wrong. There were a couple of multiple choice that […]
Ready for REG?
By Jeff Elliott, CPA June 10, 2016I have put in about 30 hours of studying since Sunday night. I had the good fortune of work being extremely “slow” this week for me, so guess who sat at his desk and studied all day Mon-Wed? While going through Yaeger‘s DVD course, I filled a legal pad with notes. Starting Monday, I re-wrote […]
REG Update
By Jeff Elliott, CPA June 11, 2016Although I’ve scored two consecutive 74s on Regulation and own Yaeger‘s cram DVD (I didn’t use it on my last attempt aside from Corps because I was swamped with BEC and up against the deadline or I lost FAR), I made a deal with myself that I would slow down and go back through REG […]

Quite frankly, I would rather get a 64 than 74. That way, I know for sure that I hadn't studied enough and it's not so painful to swallow.
I just took the Financial Section and also received a 74. It's a punch in the face isn't it.
A 65 would hurt less in my opinion.
dam i rather get a 60 something for real cuz man i wud go crazy thinking if i had change my answer on a particular question maybe i get that one point
I just got a freaking 74 on FAR...that is indeed a slap in the face. I can't believe this!!!!
Big deal, I got 74 four times already! @#$
Seeing the 74. The feeling of your whole body going numb The anger, resentment and then there is the embarrassment of having to tell people who think you will blow it away. Having scored 85 and 90's on all my test practice questions what else could I do!!!!!....a 74 was almost more than I could take. I thank Jeff for this web site. Hopefully I can stop grieving. Hopefully I can stop the self abuse. I think I am an idiot now!!!! Unfortunately I do NOT think I am soooooo close. The difference between a 74 and 75 is monumental. If it sounds like I am bitter IT?S BECAUSE I AM!!!!

I just got a 74 on Reg! I thought things like that didnt' exist on the CPA exam. Maybe it's a money racket?
ohhh...they exist. :) The good thing is that I overcame back to back 74's on REG and so will you!
BEC 71 "Wow this CPA thing will be harder than I thought..." AUD 76 "We're back! Now I'm in the zone!" BEC 74 "Throwing up sound..." REG 75 "Amazed that I can't pass BEC, yet I pass AUD and REG on the 1st try...very confused" BEC 77 "Finally!! 3 down 1 to go..." FAR 74 "More throwing up sounds... Starting to think that divine intervention is a factor...or CPA is a money racket" FAR ??? "Have 3 months to pass this! Time to take care of some unfinished business !!!" Never say never.... AC
