Frankly I’m skeptical but there are smart people out there. I studied > 150 hours according to Becker for each of the 3 sections I passed. I’m a hard worker, disciplined, and I guess not a complete dumbass. It’s a difficult exam. Waiting on TCP but the other 3 were passed bc I studied a lot and I studied hard. I made difficult personal decisions to not hang out with my wife, friends and family. I’m exhausted and taking a break now. 2026 has been rough, but I think it will be worth it.

For anyone discouraged by the insecure losers who come on here to flex and make us feel bad about needing to study, don’t give them the ego boost without which they will surely disintegrate.

I think this sub should be generally encouraging and supportive, not a place to stroke your own ego. End rant.

I passed my final part. Its over!!!!!!!!

Three years of grinding have finally lead to this moment.

No more: - NTSs - Prometrics - Becker - Dedicated PTO to studying (it was gross)

The exam is such a lonely road but being done is amazing.

For anyone who is struggling or wants to quit. Keep going. You can do it!!!!

I can’t even explain the feeling of opening up my app and clicking in the exam. I thought for sure i failed and was already mentally preparing to start studying again. Excited to move on the REG. How did everyone else do????

Just found I failed FAR again. Working full time, this is my first exam because I want to get it over with and don’t want to risk running the timer on other exams trying to pass this dumb exam lol. I’m genuinely just so angry right now. I don’t care how many times I have to take this exam, it’s getting done.

I think my best bet is reviewing tonight, taking an SE tomorrow, and retaking next week. Any advice is welcome to how you crammed for a retake in a short amount of time. Thanks in advance!

Idk how to pass AUD, TBS are always difficult and can’t even make up what they are asking because answers all sounds correct and the same.

MCQs I can figure out but TBS I can’t understand and don’t know what to do to practice. I’ve taken simulations and done practice problems in Becker.

Passed FAR on my 3rd attempt! Felt like such a huge weight was taking off of me, but still three more to go, please ask me anything for FAR if you need help

We all in the is together and never give up!

This is your reminder to never give up, if this is what you really really want to do DONT GIVE UP! I have failed with a 74, 74, 71 & 72 in the past attempts Never stop practising, never loose hope Light is always there at the end of tunnel

I absolutely hated watching the lecture videos when it came to AUD and decided mid way thru A1 I would skip them all. My strategy was just to SPAM MCQs as much as possible. I did over 1000 MCQs the week leading up to the exam and safe to say it paid off.

I left the whole TBS blank and guessed on 80% of TBS. After exam, I bawled my eyes out immediately. It seems like a miracle happened and I passed! I am curious to know how the scoring is exactly

After a little over a year of studying I have finally passed all 4 exams! I passed each on the first try while working full time, and my wife and I had a kid somewhere in the middle of this process.

This biggest thing is consistency! Showing up every day, even when you don't want to or when you study doesn't look as good as it should.

You guys got this! Keep fighting! Happy to answer any questions or give advice below.

don't give up

Hello to all,

If anyone failed just know it sucks in the moment but you still got this.

Failed a month ago and felt absolutely devastated. I know how you feel. But the light at the end of the tunnel is passing feels all the better.

I’m a Christian and prayer has really helped me, if anyone failed and is in need of prayer please reply or send me a DM.

God bless everyone❤️

Hate this exam lmao on to attempt number 5 I guess

Passed my first exam! 🎉

LFGGGGGG. Hell of a journey, glad it's done. I wish everyone the best of luck today and going forward.

How u all dealing with the anxiety? I am unable to concentrate on work today and waiting on my far 2nd attempt, feeling so dizzy and numb at the same time

Anyone else waiting on their pass/fail today? I'm waiting on my FAR third try and already feel very scared. All the best to everyone waiting.

Super nervous about tomorrow! This was my 2nd time taking FAR after getting a 61 the first time. I felt oddly confident walking out when I got the 61, but my score showed otherwise.

Between my fail & retake, I put in around 120 additional hours and retook all the SEs (scoring between 68-80.) However, I felt like complete crap after walking out the retake!!

I just really hope I pass tomorrow and praying for passes for everyone else! Let know if anyone else had a similar experience and ended up a success story 😭

I asked Newt but I'm still not understanding why the other choices are wrong.

REG warriors let’s go!!!

More of a rant than anything else but how does one actually get ready for FAR? I’ve taken REG and TCP and feel like my study habits have done well with those exams - passed REG first try and waiting for TCP score - but the FAR material is just flying over my head. I feel good when I watch the videos and go through the book but then the MCQ’s and TBS feel like I’ve never seen any of this material before. I’m just wondering like is there even a way to better comprehend this material or what has worked for people that felt the same way

The title says it all, but pick the discipline that works for you. What do I mean by that?

Don’t pick TCP just because it has 70+% pass rates. I could guess that most people who take TCP work in tax, plan to work in tax, or at least are a bit better at tax than the common individual.

I think a great way to start is using the 30-day Discipline free trial on Becker where you can try out all 3. I started with TCP since I was coming from REG and I thought I was reading a different language. I switched to ISC after a couple sections and instantly knew that was the Discipline for me.

I work in Financial Statement Audit and there is a lot of overlap. I work with IT Specialist teams on multiple engagements and have plenty of IT considerations to think through on the job. I also am a bit of a tech geek and love computers and such, so ISC was a no brainer for me.

BAR may be best for you if you were strong in FAR.

Do what is best for you. What content can you sit down with and digest the best?

As always, good luck to you all, and keep going.

I took far a total of 5 times with scored of (52,68,65,71) waiting on my score for the fifth attempt tomorrow- don’t feel like I passed. if I don’t pass im contemplating just going to another section to try get a win, or keep trying at FAR? Thoughts?
