Scott5858,
did you receive your score?

Passfirsttime explained in many of his posts that he did written communications on both simulations, and did it well.

It would be nice that he would change the signature not to excite false hopes in others.

Sorry to put your hopes down, but I'm interested in your score. I don't think I passed FAR but would like to have some hope for the couple days until I get my actual score

You will do better than you expect on all exams except for bec (if you
were prepared) don't worry

Passfirsttime,

please do not be offended by my remarks. When I first saw your signature, I thought you did only MCQ. I know that it's still incredible to get 85 even with written simulations, but many people assume that you left everything blank including written communications. I think it's misleading b/c you cannot pass CPA exam with only MCQ.

My interpretation is that chances are slim now that I have left the communication blank? OUCH..

Well, it is what it is, nothing to be done at this point so... live it, learn it!
Will keep everyone posted if it turns out otherwise.

Best of luck to everyone!

Did you do the research tabs? You seriously left the simulations blank? Didn't even fill them in randomly?
