A Bittersweet Holiday

So scores came out last week and FINALLY I got the scores I had been anxiously awaiting. Thursday morning, at approximately 7:04 am, I checked my scores and SHOCK Regulation was UP!!! AND I PASSED!!!! This was the exam I took in early October and I actually cried after because I felt SO horrible about it, yet there it was, the pretty little score staring at me in the face telling me that I now had two sections complete.  WHOHOOOO!!  I was on cloud 9 the rest of the day.

Then Friday came, along with the heavy snow came the audit score.  I was just about to leave the office to go home early due to the weather when I learned a good friend of mine had just gotten his score and luckily for him, not only did he pass, the pass meant he was DONE with his exams. I however was not so lucky. I found out I got a 74! So frustrating to fail by ONE point. Needless to say, by Friday night I had already paid to get my new NTS to retake it as soon as possible. Now its just cramming a little again since I just took that one before Thanksgiving hopefully I didn't lose TOO much of the information.

At the moment I'm glad I failed by only a little, even though I'm super frustrated about having to retake it AGAIN.  I know I was so close and a little more studying I should pass it the next time (one only hopes.)

How did the rest of you do?! I'm hoping for some early holiday presents of a lot of passes for everyone!

And tonight I head back to the library once again to devote my life to studying audit.

Have a GREAT holiday to everyone! Enjoy and be safe :)

I passed three of four exams and took the last one, Auditing, before thanksgiving. After the exam I felt good about it and as matter of fact, that was the only one I felt confident about how I did during the test. Last week, however, when I received the score, I was so disappointed that my score is 73. Only 2 points away from passing, and now I have to go over the entire study process again!

I wish a good luck to all of us taking these exhausting tests.

May, I feel your pain and frustration. I passed three of the four parts and have to retake BEC. But, hopefully I pass it the second time and studying goes by quick since it is a review. I'm happy that BEC is short with no simulations, and you should be happy AUD is pretty easy to re-study (i.e. no formulas and such). Good luck I'm sure you'll both do fine.
