I continued to make 74's on BEC and FAR for over a year. I did not pass them until I lost credit on Reg and Aud. I am suspicious about the integrity of the exam. I started studying for the two that I lost credit. I started making 74 on Req for about year. Now I have lost credit on BEC and FAR. I have stopped with the exam and now I am asking questions about it. I am wondering if there are other candidates that are constantly failing the exam by one or two points.

Let me make this clear.... the difference between a 74 and 75 is not just one point. The AICPA makes you think that all you needed was one point, but believe me, that is not really the case. A failing grade is a fail no matter how many points you get. When the AICPA gives you a failing score, they think your examination performance is not sufficient enough for the protection of the public. When you fail with ANY score, you need to start from scratch and do whatever is takes to study as much as you possibly can. Try not to leave any stone unturned. Don't study for just one point. Study for 99 more points. There's no such thing as overkill when it comes to studying for the CPA exam. With the amount of left field questions on these exams, you need to make sure you prepare for the worst.
Good luck!

Yes, each time I would start back over. Read the entire chapters. Write down more notes. We work the problems. I also purchased new software from different companies. I would make high 80s and 90s with the software practice exams. I also started studying information from other categories. For example, when I started retaking the Reg, I would study notes from BEC, FAR and Aud to make sure they would not place any of that information on the exam.

That means your subconsciously memorizing answers. I recommend getting a new test bank with new questions.
