I took REG today and am exhausted. <br /><br />Don't worry - sometimes I think I did well and I failed and other times I think there's no way I came close and I end up passing. You can never tell with this test. <br /><br />It's completely up to you. Since this is the first one you took, you aren't losing credit for other parts so there's no rush to move to the next one. But you can move on to another section if you don't want to wait. <br /><br />Thanks and good luck!The Cooking Accountanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794068108852711711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189561280975257345.post-25523475635884504052010-02-26T14:43:37.252-05:002010-02-26T14:43:37.252-05:00Hi Cooking Accountant,

Asking myself, "is this for me?" Some of the questions were ok and exactly what I studied, others I didn't even attempt. I took Roger Philipp and thought he was great but there is just soooo much different type of material. I will take it again if I failed but I don't know what to do while I am waiting for my score. Study BEC again or move on to another section.<br /><br />Good luck on your next BEC attemp!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08306041204253117575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189561280975257345.post-6700027263631035292010-02-06T22:45:15.325-05:002010-02-06T22:45:15.325-05:00Hi Anonymous,

The scope of the material for BEC is so vast it makes it hard to get your arms around all the material. Obviously you have the will to do it and you will pass! Keep the faith! <br /><br />I am taking AUD on 1/4/10. Stressed out all during Christmas. I also sit for FAR on 2/27/10. Just got my Becker materials for FAR. OMG it's a big book! <br /><br />We will just have to stay positive so we can succeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433192502467356422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189561280975257345.post-46195458185569077652009-12-06T23:27:20.015-05:002009-12-06T23:27:20.015-05:00Thanks Dokimcpa!

It sounds like a long time, but really it isn't, esp. when you consider the wait to receive your score and sign up for a new NTS. <br /><br />I also lost my credits (for 3 parts) when I failed FAR a few years ago. I took a little break and started taking the Exam again... taking FAR FIRST! <br /><br />If you passed those 2 parts once, you will be able to pass them again. My advice is to take BEC with a Cram course to give you those extra points to pass. Once you get BEC out of the way, nothing will stop you.The Cooking Accountanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794068108852711711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189561280975257345.post-39800630457777095722009-12-02T19:19:03.964-05:002009-12-02T19:19:03.964-05:00I have been there..

I changed my study materials from Becker to Gleim testprep CD for Audit, which really helped me to focus on my weak content area. I would recommend to try Gleim or other study materials for the next time. Good luck!
