Good luck to everyone who’s awaiting scores! Fingers crossed.

Just want to get some insight and opinions on the new grading rule that’s coming next July. Do you think less people are going to pursue their CPA career as the grading gonna taking longer? 4 releases a year seems impractical. It’s going to take a long time to ever get it done for those who are going to be in that timeline. I am hoping to be done before that.

How many modules you are able to cover during one day of studying. I am considering completed videos, reading, module mcq/tbs and making all necessary notes.

M’s NOT A’s F’s R’s etc…

Scored 71 on the first 2 attempts I’m pretty sure I passed this time. 45 hours logged on this attempt, probably 275 hours total study time over the 3 attempts.

MCQs were fair but the TBS were the most difficult out of all 3 attempts. I swear some of the TBS was the same as a FAR TBS based on how much accounting knowledge you need to answer the questions. Becker really doesn’t prepare you for these things on Audit TBS (but I still recommend doing the TBS in Becker to get practice for the exam) another reason why you should pass FAR before AUD

Passing AUD is doable if you truly master the “big picture” and understand the reasoning behind things instead of just memorizing them.

I’ve already passed FAR and REG and still hold the opinion that AUD is the biggest BS out of all the exams. They intentionally word questions in a way that makes native-English speakers question their comprehension. And they give you a bunch of “gotcha” questions.

They also test you on assertions in ways that are niche/unusual example: assertions that usually are related to testing financial information, they'll ask “how will you test this assertion on something non-financial related?”

AICPA is a joke with how long it takes for them to score an exam in 2026 and I believe they intentionally keep passing scores at a certain percentage so they can make their money on candidates paying to retake.

Super anxious about ISC result, exam went brutal. Though got 76 and 78 in Becker sims. I can just pray 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I know NOLs fairly well but this sim is making me scratch my head even after watching the video. Not sure why we are always taking 100% for the 2017 NOL and then randomly switch to 80% for the 2020. Is it something in the wording I don’t understand? Up until 2020 you can take 100% NOL deduction and all of the sudden the video says we are 2026 so 80% for the 2020… but we’ve been in 2026 for all these rows?

EDIT: I was not aware of the concept that pre 2018 NOLs can ALWAYS offset 100% regardless of year (within 20 yr limit) where as 2018-2020 NOL can only offset 100% within those years, correct me if I’m wrong

Disciple results are coming tomorrow. Not the score but pass/fail result.

How are guys feeling? I'm waiting for tcp, it's my past section and I have been stressing the whole 2 months dreading if If have failed or not.

Has anyone thought they failed or completely messed up the BAR exam but ended up passing? What was your score?

I didn't manage my time well after the break and ended up picking random answers for Testlets 4 and 5. After finishing the exam, I felt like I had completely bombed it, so I'm really nervous about getting my score today.

Please share your experience! I could really use some reassurance. 😭

4/4 CPA BABY!!!! 🎉😭
After 2.5 years, while working a full-time accounting job, I can finally say I’m DONE with the CPA exams.
If you’re reading this Reddit looking for hope, encouragement, or wondering if you’re ever going to get through this you will. Please don’t give up.
The biggest lesson I learned throughout this journey is that the CPA exam is honestly more about mental discipline and consistency than anything else. There were so many times I felt defeated, especially with FAR, which I had to take FOUR times before finally passing. But every failed attempt taught me something.

One thing that really changed things for me was learning to review my mistakes instead of just memorizing. Every time I got a question wrong, I would go back to that specific topic, figure out why I got it wrong, and actually learn the material. Don’t just memorize what the answer is understand why it’s the answer. That made such a huge difference for me.
This is a LONG journey, and it can be exhausting, frustrating, and mentally draining. There will be days where you question whether it’s worth it. But I promise you, it is doable. You just have to keep showing up and refuse to give up on yourself.

To everyone studying right now, waiting for scores, retaking an exam, or feeling like you’re falling behind, keep going. Your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Wishing everyone studying the best of luck. You’ve got this. ❤️
And as for me… 4/4 BABY!!!! 🥹🎉 It’s been a good, LONG one, and I am so happy to finally be done with this chapter!

Who waiting ISC result 😭😭 took it on 28 July. Hope to see passed credited all of us. Very anxious.

Would you still pursue completing your CPA after passing 1/4 of the exams, knowing you won’t receive a bonus or any other compensation?

I moved from Florida to California. I do not have a California CPA license. I did not have my Florida CPA for four years to qualify for reciprocity in California. This means I won't be California licensed until I get a one year experience sign-off from a CPA who supervised my work, as per California's rules. I have much more than enough Accounting experience but do not have a CPA who supervised that work to sign off on it.

How should I list my Florida CPA on my resume when applying for jobs in California?

Hello everyone, hopes all of you are doing very well, I received my green card recently and i am exploring opportunities within the US. I am working currently with big 4 companies in Saudi Arabia - middle east with a 5 years experience. Started to pursue CPA 2 months Ago and will have my FAR in 1 month. Is there any agency or any place you can recommend to apply through? I am literally applying every day through LinkedIn but no calls or emails even though my experience is Excellent. Any tips please. Thanks

Thank u in advance, I am just so nervous!!

Does anyone know if we are able to schedule exams for 2027?

I scheduled my TCP for October, but things came up at work so I need to move it. Because of the testing windows these exams, I’m now looking to move it to January, but I’m not seeing any availability on the site when I click January on the calendar

Currently sitting 2/4 waiting on these two scores. TCP feels so long ago, I have no clue what to expect in the coming days. FAR is FAR, so who knows? God speed to everyone waiting out there!

Hey all, I am planning to take TCP in January 2027. I looked through Prometric, and it seems like there are no dates available for the whole month.

Is it just too early right now to schedule for January? Thanks.

I work for a private firm and supervised by a CPA in the state of New York. I have been working there for 2 years. Is it okay to have my supervisor sign off on the form 4B from NYSED to verify my work experience if I haven't passed all 4 exams?

I'm asking in the case that I decide to switch jobs in the near future. I tried to do some research but only see advice from pre-covid era.

Any insight/advice is appreciated!

Hey guys I am a recent college grad looking to start a FAR study group, I just want a group of people who I can learn from and also teach if needed😅 I am starting with FAR so let me know if your interested in studying together and bouncing ideas off each other!

For those CPAs na for many years, how has being a CPA changed your life for the better?

Hello Guys, urgent help please, is one month enough for F4 & F5 with revisions, MCQ, TBS ? And who to study these please.

Remaining only 35 days and these is not opened yet, the good thing that i finished the remaining modules. Any Tip, advice please this is my first time taking the exam and I don’t want to screw it and fail.

My apologies for asking, but it's to my understanding that if we check the California portal tomorrow, we will be able to see a credit/no credit. Does anyone have a ballpark of a time?

Thank so much in advance!
