So this was my final part. I was 3 of 3 before this and audit comes really easy to me. i still have a fair amount of time before i start losing credit. keeping that in the periphery, the question to ask is, should i go for a score recheck or just suck it up and do it again? i mean if i do it again it wont be until august that i will get my result and that just plain blows.

additionally i was fairly confident of my exam. i was done in 2 and a half hours and i started my exam 3 hours before schedule. if i was a betting man, i would have banked this more so then any other cpa exam section. i really felt good after the exam.

The thing you have to bank on is whether or not the examiners made a mistake in grading the exam.

It really all depends: is it worth how ever many dollars it costs to get a score recheck for a 2-5% chance of passing?

That is based on your personal financial position and a risk analysis that you have to do.

That completely blows, by the way. Sorry to see that happen to anyone.

I would suggest not to go for score recheck, b/c I heard from Tim Gearty (Becker Instructor) that no one has successfully have changed scored after recheck.

Below is the excerpt from the cpa-exams.org website

"If you would like to request that your score be validated by the AICPA, you may request a score review. It might be helpful for you to know that all reported scores are subject to routine quality controls and are, in fact, scored twice before they are reported to state boards. As a result, the likelihood of a score change following score review is exceedingly small, or less than 1 percent of all requested score reviews since the inception of the computer based test."

I'd say only do it if you have money to burn. I have never heard of anyone getting there score changed from a recheck, and I think the whole process takes several weeks, which you could use preparing to retake instead. You have to consider the cost of a recheck (about as much as taking the exam again), the odds of getting your score changed (very slim), and the wait time to hear back from them (which is lost time if they don't change your score).

A 74 really sucks, especially on your last exam, but at least you're sooooo close. Only one left!

Historically I have taken many exams as I am sure many of you also have. There were some that were unexpectedly distorted to the ambiguity that derives the very nonchalance that exhalts the very essence of a man into an oblivion filled blackhole and then there were some which were tailor marked to be a curve breaker for yours truly. and then there were some, a recent case in point being FAR, where there was no expectation of passing, even though the pleasure of hard time under the bracket of self fulfilling quality insync with the myopic luck of the disillusionment was at the fore and then there is this nugget called Audit which after the exam felt like the bet on ice melting in sun. which leads us to the aforementioned conclusion that either those vitamins dont work as good as the bottle says or that AICPA doesnt believe in global warming.
