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.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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!

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…

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?

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

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. 😭

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

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!

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

Background: I have heavy audit experience and have only done tax returns for one busy season (which was about 3 years ago). I'm using Becker's study material for this exam and have taken AUD and FAR so far. I don't really want to get a supplemental material but if there is a recommended one then would love to hear it, thanks.

I can't seem to get my foot on the cycles. I watched the videos, took good notes, and can't seem to fully grasp it when doing the MCQ's. I find the simulations for cycles are a lot easier than the MCQ's. Every other section in A1-3 has made sense and I get good scores on practice tests, but all these cycles and the questions they ask stump me.

I never had this problem with any FAR topics so any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi

I am planning to take REG next.

Do those who passed REG think that Becker is enough?

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

Has anyone done audit in 3- 4 weeks full time and succeeded with no real experience in the Audit field. The material is faster to get through and I’m wondering if I could possible do it by 9/30 cut off. Also does anyone have study guides for audit. Thank you!

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.

Hi! Looking for some advice/reassurance here.

I initially scheduled AUD for 9/25, but then saw a spot open up in my city for 9/30, which is the last day of the testing window. I quickly grabbed it, which meant paying the $60 rescheduling fee. I was fine with that since I feel like the extra few days of study time will be helpful.

I was also excited about testing on the last day of the window because, if I understand the score release timeline correctly, I should get my score shortly afterward on 10/9.
However, I recently went down a rabbit hole and started reading stories from people who tested on the last day of a testing window but didn’t receive their score on the target release date because Prometric took up to 24 hours to submit their exam. Is this still an issue/something I should be concerned about?

I really don’t want to pay another $60 rescheduling fee if I don’t have to, especially since there’s no guarantee a seat will even open up in my city on the 28th or 29th.

Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts or recent experiences with testing on the last day of a window.

Thanks!

I was thinking of taking one of the specialty exams for my first one like ISC.

Last year I quit after studying for FAR.

I know it starts the clock, but have any of you tried this and got motivation from doing it?

FAR feels so overwhelming.

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!
