You know coastergenius if it is so easy why didn't you ace the exams? why did you fail an exam? why did you change your signiture line and exclude your failing grade?

This is too funny! Both this thread and the "other one" are notoriously hilarious! Though, I must confess, I enjoy reading them: it shows how people approach the same situation in totally different ways & with different attitudes; some may lack 'people skills' to a great extent, and so on...  Yet, it is a learning experience for me too.

You say you blew your timing and had to guess thru much of your sims and then you ask is this test to easy. You have got to be kidding. If you can't handle the pressure of a timed test then how are you going to handle the pressures of being a CPA.

If someone got one here who had scored all 99's on all four test and ask this question then I might be inclined to believe it was to easy, for them but not for you.

I answered earlier trying to ignore your arrogance but you continue to slap people in the face who have and continue to struggled with this exam insulting their intelligence. I don't believe their are many folks on this forum that think this test was easy for you. You don't make yourself look smarter by saying the exam was too easy just arrogant.

I freely admit it was a difficult exam for me, all four parts even though I was able to pass all on the first sitting. I gladly take my 75 in audit even though I thought I nailed it, 75 in Far, 76 in BEC and 85 in REG even though I thought i did better.

I'll trust the AICPA  judgement on who they think is qualified to represent the public over your opinion. They been at it a little longer than you and they have did a fine job so far. 



Yes 1/2 CPA, I apologize that I didn't pass all of the exams on my first try.  My very first time taking any of the exams I missed passing by one point after spending only a few weeks to study for it because I wanted to get my feet wet, rather than waste my first testing window that I was eligible for. 

I realize that some candidates pass with 90's on the first time, but I'm not them, and I try not to compare myself to them. I'm happy with what I've done, and I don't need people like you to tear me down.

Well, I'm glad to hear that 1/2 CPA, I just thought that the world should know how special you are.

But getting back to the point, I think that you and Round1 had good points (before you started your ad hominem attacks on me to win your argument, but whatever, that's alright). The exam is meant to be challenging, but to be inclusive to the majority of candidates who are willing to put the work in. And that most of the expertise and technical acumen is gained on the job. 

That's all that you guys had to say...painless.

I guess that nobody really addressed the main point of the thread, which was the fact that candidates skills aren't exactly being tested when they leave half of the simulations blank and guess on the rest and still get 90's on the exam, but that's aright too.
