I’m psyched but nervous!
I just got my NTS for Regulation and set up my Prometric appointment right away.
So, I have 6 weeks to study after Audit. Plenty of time; well, it should be as long as I don’t procrastinate after taking Audit.
REG – you’re going down!

Signing Up to Re-take REG
I just cleared the first hurdle – I purchased the NTS to re-take Regulation.
I just couldn't motivate myself to do this, but now I’m over it. I am so determined to stop this seemingly never-ending cycle of test-taking.
When I receive my NTS in a few days, I will schedule the test for May. I thought I could be a CPA before June, but it looks like it will take a little longer.
I am on my way!
Have you ever felt discouraged at re-taking a part of the CPA Exam that you thought you would have been done with? Please share.

The Madness of the CPA Exam
Have you ever taken a part CPA Exam and thought you passed but ended up failing?
It happened to me on Monday.
I was anxiously waiting to check my grade on Monday morning. I expected to have cleared 2 out of 4 parts. I thought with FAR and REG out of the way (and I took BEC last week), I only have AUD to go in April. I would be a CPA in May. I was so happy and thought finally this test is going my way.
But instead I wanted to cry (and I did) when I saw my failing grade.
What made it a hundred times worse is that it was the SAME EXACT grade I had the last time I took it!
How could it be? I studied many more hours and understood the material so much better this time. How is it possible that you could know so much after studying and taking an exam - I mean enough to believe you can teach it to someone - and end up failing? When other people ask me this I say "Welcome to the CPA Exam." When I say it, I think "There must be something wrong here. Did I enter the wrong NTS?"
Nope. The NTS number was correct. It is what it is, so I am going to have to get over it and start studying for the next part in April. This part I will re-take in May.
Have you had a similar, frustrating experience taking the Exam? Please leave a comment!
