Congrats,

I take my last section May 5th and hopefully I will be successful in passing.  I am sooo worried about not passing and having sections expire.

Congrats again, and welcome to becomming a CPA

Congrats! Thank you for your advice. You don't find many people who truthfully share their experience.  Thanks again for your words of encouragement.  Congrats again :)

Brins,

I follow you exactly.  All I have to say is you have to study.  Don't try and guess what will be on there because that is what a friend said or what you have read on here.  Know all of the sections.  I have taken more tests on here than anyone else I have seen, but yet I never lost one and started taking them November 2006.  Here were my scores:

BEC - 65, 62, 72, 71, 76 (July 2008)

REG - 69, 59, 77 (Feb 2008)

AUD - 43, 40, 30, 55, 70, 80 (Feb 2009) <----I didn't do the sims on the first 3, knew I didn't pass but was to late to cancel.

FAR - 60, 64, 70, 63, 78 (May 2009)

Ethics - 88, 92 (July 2009)

i never left any exam thumping my chest...i had a 2 1/2 hr drive home after the first exam REG...and remember screaming at the windshield that i wasnt going to let this thing beat me....but within 6mo of that first exam i was done having passed all of them (even that first miserable one) ... you really just cant let up on the studying....it was the most depressing 6 months i have ever had....and i am thankful that i will not ever have to go through that again.

REG-87, FAR-77, BEC-78, AUD-90

i used Becker...and supplemented it with some Wiley books off the shelf from Borders.....
