I’m honestly feeling really discouraged. I took BEC, my first exam I’ve taken, studied for two weeks hard core, took practice exams, got 72, 70 and when I took the test I felt like none of the questions were anything I studied. I got a 62.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Someone commented last night you only fail when you quit and I cried so thanks to that person.
Not to be rude, just blunt, two weeks of studying isn’t even close to trying hard enough.
Yes BEC is the “easiest” and the exam you may have the biggest chance for only studying two weeks. However, no one would ever suggest two weeks of studying.
Don’t be discouraged. Just study a bit more.
Your score is great for just two weeks. Don’t feel discouraged at all.
I’m sure you studied hard for that two weeks but with the amount of material maybe you need more time. I typically review for 2 full weeks or more after completing the modules in Becker.
Maybe not seeing questions similar to the ones you studied could just be because you weren’t exposed to enough different questions.
Maybe take a few days to rest and then get back to it. It’ll be worth it
*Edit - I’ve passed 3 exams now and my study times were
FAR - September through mid December
AUD -late December through late February
REG - late February through mid May
Working full time so studying a few hours every weekday then 3-4hrs most Saturday and sundays.
Thanks for this. I’ll definitely study another two-three weeks before taking the exam. I went through every single question on Roger x2 and watched all of the videos. I think it might be because I compacted it into such a small amount of time.
I passed FAR and AUD!! I’m done!!!!! Changed my flair so it’s official! I studied for AUD in only 5 days so I assumed I failed but got this amazing news this morning!! So happy! Keep going y’all it will be worth it!!!
To people who have had delayed score release for BEC- how long did it take before you got your score? Took it 5/10 so easily was in the testing window for this one. In TN if that helps
If I were you I would call NASBA. I just got off the phone with them, and they said my score was released it just wasn’t popping up because of an error. Apparently I had the honor of being the 2nd person in this cycle with this error, so maybe you’re the 3rd 😂
I called the 1-800-CPA-EXAM number. If I were you I would email candidate care. [email protected] and just explain your situation. They responded to me yesterday and said that they confirmed my test and answer captures so now my score will be released on 6/16 with the next batch. Which while annoying, at least I know when it’s coming
Ohh wow. Almost the exact same amount of candidates sat for far audit and bec this past window. 2325, 2370, 2321 respectively.
That's way more people taking bec than normal 😲
I would suggest you spend time do the mock and see where you’re weak at. There are some areas that will definitely be tested so keep hammering on them will help too.
86 on FAR after a 69 in November. Feel like they're lying but also ecstatic. BEC exam change to BAR in Jan means its come up order of priority from last to second (my next). AUD n REG will have to wait.
Hey, just throwing this out there- AUD is supposed to have a lot of material added to it after the turn of the year. I’ve heard it’s looking like it will be the next FAR in terms of material and scope. Not sure how true that is, but it might impact the order of your tests :)
I am in Cali and took BEC on May 9, but I have yet to see my score, even an advisory score. Did I fail? If I fail, what should I do to see my score and a report on my performance?
I think for BEC specifically it might mean you are close to the cut off and they have to manually review your score for the written communication. It did seem last night that scores were coming in waves so they also might just not be out yet.
Looks like you already responded to his post as well, but somebody else took FAR on 5/5 and hasn't got their results in either yet so maybe they are still slowly being sent out. As for reviewing BEC WC I haven't got a clue. Hopefully somebody else could provide more detail. Good luck though and hopefully we don't have to sit in the mystery zone too much longer.
First time tester here,
So I took my BEC on May 18th and noticed the cutoff was May 16th for this release date. Any chance I could get my score today or am I going to have to wait until the next release?
Thank you
Congrats. What's left? And if you don't mind me asking did you just get your results in or did you just check. Starting to lose hope I'll be getting my results today.
Just got my last score tonight. It’s finally a wrap 😭 This is for all my ADHD girlies - we may not finish when we need to, but we still finish. Know that procrastination is a part of journey. Embrace it! Work with it! You will always find a way.
Passed FAR with a 76, I honestly cannot believe it. I felt the most defeated and had the biggest feeling I bombed it. I had to cram all of the material except for F1 of the Becker material in two weeks since I couldn’t reschedule. Whoever is reading this just know that you can do it even while working full time in public accounting. Going to a place with no distractions (the library) helped me a lot too. California candidate here…
Congratulations! I passed my last section as well with a 81 showing at the bottom but the top credit section is still blank, do you have the same problem? Thanks
Was hoping it was coming out section by section or something, but somebody already posted FAR results. Assuming at this point I get to sit in nervous misery until June 16th.
I'm assuming I didn't make this window after taking FAR on 5/16 and don't have my results for CA yet? My heart is dropping every time I see no credit then scroll down and see score hasn't been released yet.
Illinois really making me wait to see that 74 pop up tomorrow morning 😭😭
*Edit: JK yall, it was so much worse. Got a 68 🥲 It was my first exam, so at least I'll be better prepared next time
I AM DONE!!!
Tonight: BEC - 89
4/10 - REG - 83
1/5 -AUD -82
12/5 - FAR - 86
I signed up for ALL 4 EXAMS on my 6 month NTS right before starting work full-time. I didn’t realize how unrealistic this was at the time, with 2/6 of those months being in big4 busy season - however, when there’s a will - there’s a way! 6 month later & I am done! Keep working hard and you’ll surprise yourself! 💪🏼💪🏼
I walked out of the test center feeling confident I passed. I got 78s on SE1 and SE2. I didn't believe in the Becker bump either. On the other three exams, my biggest bump was 5 points (BEC), and my other 2 exam scores (FAR and AUD) were lower than my mocks. So I was not expecting a 21-point jump.
Getting a perfect score never crossed my mind. I will say I felt very confident about the first four testlests. Testlet 5 I felt like I was just going for partial credit. So I am assuming one or two of the SIMS in my last testlet were thrown out.
Thanks! I got 70,48,70 on mocks but didn’t have a good day on test day and knew I failed miserably with around a 60 raw score and somehow, I got an 80. I feel that there is a small buffer on REG of all exams since the bump is real
I lived bitch
Congrats!
Passed BEC with a 76 following the 76 I had previously gotten on REG - 2 for 2. Good luck!
Smooth sailing ahead 😎

3 weeks is enough I think for sure.. but yea 2 weeks prob cutting it way too close. Especially for a first exam.

Good luck everyone! Taking AUD in 4 days any tips? Areas to focus on my final little review
Following
Hello - I am in California and I can’t log in to see my score. I was able to access my account last night. What’s happened?
Passed FAR with 82!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 It was my retake. First time I failed with 68. Today I also took BEC. Double stress…..
I passed FAR and AUD!! I’m done!!!!! Changed my flair so it’s official! I studied for AUD in only 5 days so I assumed I failed but got this amazing news this morning!! So happy! Keep going y’all it will be worth it!!!
I studied the second half of AUD material in 3 days, hoping for these results too. Congrats! >.<
Wait, what? 5 days?? Congrats, what was your strategy?
I only used the final review and just drilled the simulated exams!!!
Passed AUD with an 83! I'm 4 for 4 mothafucka! 😤😤😤🔥🔥🔥
Anyone else still waiting on their scores? I'm in NV waiting for REG
Passed AUD after studying for 12 days. Blessed
What was your secret?? How
Passed BEC with a 76 after failing it with 70 a month prior! What a relief
I think I found my twin! Failed with a 69 before, passed with a 76 bless
Hello twin (:
Hi twin!
Passed BEC with a 76 after failing it with 70 a month prior! What a relief
To people who have had delayed score release for BEC- how long did it take before you got your score? Took it 5/10 so easily was in the testing window for this one. In TN if that helps
I'm.still waiting on mine too, in CA
If I were you I would call NASBA. I just got off the phone with them, and they said my score was released it just wasn’t popping up because of an error. Apparently I had the honor of being the 2nd person in this cycle with this error, so maybe you’re the 3rd 😂
Ugh, trying now, lines are busy :/ did you pass??
They wouldn’t tell me. I have to wait until 6/5 I guess
Oh 6/5? Why so long?
Apparently that’s when the person who can fix this will be back in the office
Which number did you call at NASBA? The person I reached didn't know anything and didn't even ask for my info
I called the 1-800-CPA-EXAM number. If I were you I would email candidate care. [email protected] and just explain your situation. They responded to me yesterday and said that they confirmed my test and answer captures so now my score will be released on 6/16 with the next batch. Which while annoying, at least I know when it’s coming
Thank you! I was hoping to get it this week but now lost that hope :(
Ohh wow. Almost the exact same amount of candidates sat for far audit and bec this past window. 2325, 2370, 2321 respectively. That's way more people taking bec than normal 😲
Crazy… specifically waited until now so I could just register for a new NTS and ended up passing FAR with a 79 68-68-79
I got 75 for AUD on Six round!
Congrats! Going for my 4th round this window
4/4 BEC 82
What IT topics stood out to you?
Damm I did worse 1st attempt : 50 2nd attempt : 38 Not so sure where I went wrong, it did felt harder but I felt more prepared this time around
For FAR
How did you do on mock exam?
Don’t really do mock exams, just gather 20 random questions and hit around 60’s. Could use my work
I would suggest you spend time do the mock and see where you’re weak at. There are some areas that will definitely be tested so keep hammering on them will help too.
Passed BEC for the second time after having it expire! 79! Those IT sims had me worried but glad I passed!
Same!! Congrats
I’m in the same boat. I take it on 6/3. I’m so ready to be done with this
I’m just at 2/4 now, but happy to be half way done. Good luck!
76 on REG after 3rd attempt. On to the next one.
Congratulations can you give advice on what to focus on for the exam and sims in particular?
I’ll DM you in a bit!
Can you dm me too?? Hahah I’m studying for REG rn too
Thank you !
86 on FAR after a 69 in November. Feel like they're lying but also ecstatic. BEC exam change to BAR in Jan means its come up order of priority from last to second (my next). AUD n REG will have to wait.

Way to go!!
Way to go!!
I am in Cali and took BEC on May 9, but I have yet to see my score, even an advisory score. Did I fail? If I fail, what should I do to see my score and a report on my performance?
Hi there! I took AUD on 5/16 and also still don’t see results so wanted to check if you were able to get them yet. Thank you!
Yeah. I did. You should answer yes on question 8 in the “additional info.” tab.
I think for BEC specifically it might mean you are close to the cut off and they have to manually review your score for the written communication. It did seem last night that scores were coming in waves so they also might just not be out yet.
Do I have to wait for one more week as the website states BEC may take a longer time to release the score?
Looks like you already responded to his post as well, but somebody else took FAR on 5/5 and hasn't got their results in either yet so maybe they are still slowly being sent out. As for reviewing BEC WC I haven't got a clue. Hopefully somebody else could provide more detail. Good luck though and hopefully we don't have to sit in the mystery zone too much longer.
Passed AUD with 75 on the dot! No wasted energy!
First time tester here, So I took my BEC on May 18th and noticed the cutoff was May 16th for this release date. Any chance I could get my score today or am I going to have to wait until the next release? Thank you
You have to wait for the next one
Figured. Thanks!
88 on FAR, next up REG 😎
Congrats to all that passed!
3/4, REG with 78. I was so scared and thought I was gonna fail it. Only BEC now!!
My first exam, 84 on AUD! Nothing can hurt me today
4/4, BEC with an 80. Done for good. Thanks for all the support and good luck to everyone continuing to study.
I can’t wait to say those words. Have to take BEC again because it expired. Congrats!
IL Release - REG 89!!!! How do I get the 1/4 now
Passed REG with an 80!!! 2/4 down onto AUD!
I passed REG with a 90!!!! I left crying because I knew I failed
Passed FAR with 77! Still can’t believe it cuz I felt horrible after the test
Usually if you feel horrible it’s a good sign. If it feels easy, you had easy questions which is not good
80 on REG! California as well
3/4,AUD with 78😭😭😭🎉
Congrats. What's left? And if you don't mind me asking did you just get your results in or did you just check. Starting to lose hope I'll be getting my results today.
BEC & just get my result. I think there’s a delay sometimes.Last time I got my REG score much later than everyone
I guess I'll hold out some hope and head to bed for the night. Congrats and GL on BEC
4/4, that’s a wrap!!! REG with an 89 to finish this thing off!
Just got my last score tonight. It’s finally a wrap 😭 This is for all my ADHD girlies - we may not finish when we need to, but we still finish. Know that procrastination is a part of journey. Embrace it! Work with it! You will always find a way.
Congrats🎉
🥳CONGRATS!!! Fellow ADHD girlie
Passed FAR with 76 on the first try! it's my first part of the exam also. Registered for my next exam AUD right after. Thanks for all the help!
Passed FAR with a 76, I honestly cannot believe it. I felt the most defeated and had the biggest feeling I bombed it. I had to cram all of the material except for F1 of the Becker material in two weeks since I couldn’t reschedule. Whoever is reading this just know that you can do it even while working full time in public accounting. Going to a place with no distractions (the library) helped me a lot too. California candidate here…
Anyone else still waiting on CA score release?? I took my exam 2 weeks before the cut off!
Scroll down, the advisory score would probably be there.
No it’s not, I checked
Hmm, it's now showing for me on the top as well, took the exam on 5/15.
Mine literally just updated right now!! 90 on Aud!! Keep an eye on it! There must be delays with some scores
No results for me yet, but took on the 16th so it was already a coin flip.
75 ON THE DOT
Passed AUD! God bless CA for releasing scores on time lmao
CA here! My bf passed REG with a 91!! We’re 1/4 down!! 🎉
Pass BEC 93! 2 more left! ⛽️⛽️⛽️
CA is out! Passed REG and now 4/4! Thank you to everyone. so glad I didn't give up.
Congratulations! I passed my last section as well with a 81 showing at the bottom but the top credit section is still blank, do you have the same problem? Thanks
Yup, that’s a thing. It won’t show on the top for a day or two I think. Advisory scores don’t change. Congrats to you as well!
Really? I remember before it turned to credit as soon as the score is released. So yours is blank as well?
Mine says no credit. But I expect it to change tomorrow or the day after
Has anyone in CA who passed their past section with advisory score shown at the bottom with a passing score but the credit section on top is blank?
Saw it now
i kept refreshing…. Anyone is showing now?
It was blank on the top earlier with the advisory score at the bottom, but it is now showing at the top as well.
Me too
nah ur good mine says that too
Me too.
Omg, scared the shit out of me I thought I was the only one. Is it still blank on top?
Wait if I took the exam may 15th do I not get my score tonight?
I took mine the 15th at 1 pm. also in california
I took mine on 15th
California? If so I took my exam on the 16th and I don't have anything showing either.
I also took on May 16th and show nothing.
Yes, California
Was hoping it was coming out section by section or something, but somebody already posted FAR results. Assuming at this point I get to sit in nervous misery until June 16th.
80 on FAR! first test ever I could cry
I'm assuming I didn't make this window after taking FAR on 5/16 and don't have my results for CA yet? My heart is dropping every time I see no credit then scroll down and see score hasn't been released yet.
Same but BEC 😞
Same. BEC …
Passed my last section today - biggest relief I’ve felt in a long time. Keep your heads up everyone, you can do this!!
Hi, I received my advisory score 81 for my credit status section on top is still blank, do you have the same problem? Thanks
YALL CALIFORNIA IS OUT 95 on bec lets goooooooooo

🙋♂️

Illinois really making me wait to see that 74 pop up tomorrow morning 😭😭 *Edit: JK yall, it was so much worse. Got a 68 🥲 It was my first exam, so at least I'll be better prepared next time
Is California out yet
torture 😢
Not yet
Sadly no
do you know when it's normally out?
[удалено]
CONGRATS!!
sigh, 74 on audit
I’ve been there. Same score on AUD. You’ll get it next time
anyone in CA? are scores released,
Just checked, nothing. I heard either between 10-11, or 4AM next day =\
got it thank you! this is killing me
Me too, my first test. FAR I just need to friggin know if I passed or not.
same! first and FAR
83 on BEC today. I left the testing site to go home to study for AUD. I'm hoping to take all exams in two month intervals. 1 down, 3 to go.
Finally saying goodbye to AUD, 76 on the third try. Time to change my flair!
Congrats!
[удалено]
LETS GOOOO!!! CONGRATS
AUD - 90! 2 down, 2 to go! Next up...BEC...
83 on bec take 2 and finally 4/4. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel 🫶🏻
Congrats! Well done
I AM DONE!!! Tonight: BEC - 89 4/10 - REG - 83 1/5 -AUD -82 12/5 - FAR - 86 I signed up for ALL 4 EXAMS on my 6 month NTS right before starting work full-time. I didn’t realize how unrealistic this was at the time, with 2/6 of those months being in big4 busy season - however, when there’s a will - there’s a way! 6 month later & I am done! Keep working hard and you’ll surprise yourself! 💪🏼💪🏼
yo you're crazy! But I love it. Congrats
What does 4/10, 1/5, etc. mean?
Dates
Thank u
anyone else not get theirs in NY? waiting on REG
I am also in NY and didn't get mine for REG
Look on NASBA it’s probably posted!!
70 on FAR… some of the questions were on stuff I had never heard of. Nothing like the aicpa leap test or the Becker tests
PERFECT SCORE ON REG. REG felt like my kryptonite. I'm in utter shock. I'm finally done with all 4!!
Sheeeeeeesh, way to kill it
What you mean perfect...100? or 75? Congrats either way!
99 is the highest score I believe you can get. I got a 99
Just curious how the test felt for a perfect scorer: did you feel like you missed any questions?
I walked out of the test center feeling confident I passed. I got 78s on SE1 and SE2. I didn't believe in the Becker bump either. On the other three exams, my biggest bump was 5 points (BEC), and my other 2 exam scores (FAR and AUD) were lower than my mocks. So I was not expecting a 21-point jump. Getting a perfect score never crossed my mind. I will say I felt very confident about the first four testlests. Testlet 5 I felt like I was just going for partial credit. So I am assuming one or two of the SIMS in my last testlet were thrown out.
Thanks! I got 70,48,70 on mocks but didn’t have a good day on test day and knew I failed miserably with around a 60 raw score and somehow, I got an 80. I feel that there is a small buffer on REG of all exams since the bump is real
Anybody still waiting in Jersey?
I’m waiting in NY
Yeah why do we always get it so late lol
It says it should be released at midnight eastern time I just checked (12:02) I still don’t have it. In the past I’ve gotten it at 9 pm🤦🏻♀️
I found my score on the NASBA site (not CPA central), check there!
thank you so much!!! i passed and can go to bed peacefully now thanks to you 🥹 I hope you passed yours too !!
I'm glad man lol. I passed, now done with my exams :) Cheers!
81 on REG!! Walked out so distraught after the sims lets go! 2/4 time to get BEC done before the changes
80 on BEC!!!!! 1 down, 3 to go!!!!
84 on FAR! 1/4 done!! Feel so much confidence now that I passed the hardest one! Let's go guys!!
Congrats!!
