So sorry to hear. Have you bought the Gleim test prep? If not, then give it a shot. It worked well for me.
Also, practice all the Sims in the Wiley book especially the tax return problems.
Don't give up. You can do it.
Good luck!

Thanks, Idid get the Gleim test prep. I remember I took
your advice for AUD and I passed...to boot, I also got
the Gleim book to cross-reference Wiley so I can target
the areas I'm weak on. Phil suggested I go back through
and watch the CRAM but I'm more inclined to watch the
actual homestudy videos again since my fail was so Epic
and I'm clearly not understanding the material even
though I think I am.

Welp, took it again yesterday (8/30)...now for the
waiting game. Thanks for all your help Phil. This
attempt was, as one might expect, completely different
from the last. Finished with about 3 minutes to spare.
I was getting in the high 70's and 80's on the previously
released CPA exams in the back of the Wiley book before I
went in so hopefully that bodes well. My simulations
looked easy at first read but there were clear, if not
subtle, directions which could easily be overlooked if
one were to not read the question carefully. I felt like
my first testlet was medium-difficult, second was
difficult!!, and the third was medium-difficult. I
thought I was done for by the end of the second testlet
because I wasted too much time on it but then I picked up
some speed on the third testlet and then the sims as well
of all parts - go figure! I was emotionally spent by the
end of this thing. I have until 10/15 to pass Reg or
I'll lose credit for FAR, and then BEC in Feb so I don't
even want to think about not passing but I resubmitted an
application as soon as I got back from the exam just in
case so I don't lose out on the processing time since my
last window of opportunity is only 6 weeks from now. So
now, I guess I'll just take a 10 question practice quiz
every day to keep the information "hot" in case I didn't
pass. Ugghhh!! this process is nerve wracking. I put in
over 300 hours on my first attempt and almost 350 on my
second.
I'm quite certain that I hold the record for calling Phil
the most out of any of his students with questions. He
was always there for an answer unless he was out of town

Congratulations. 57 to an 80 is very impressive. Good work. I'm so glad you're done.
